Will a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fit in my case

duftutta · Mar 5, 2016

I am experiencing serious overheating problems with my PC - and old model from the Windows Vista era given to me to fix for my personal use as a project of sorts.

I was wondering - will a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fit in my case? I feel it will help the temperature - the fan has been really loud anyway.

From the pic no mate definitely not.

What country are you ?? What CPU is it running ??

duftutta · Mar 5, 2016

UK, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel DG45ID MoBo, was considering moving to a corsair 200r case as it has better airflow, would it fit in this?

madmatt30 · Mar 5, 2016

an evo would fit in a 200r yes but thats a of money to spend on an old core2duo rig

buy one of those while its that price (normally 20 quid) - great cooler,very small,litle noisier than the evo 212 but cools very nearly on a par.

Don't think it supports my socket type... Any other suggestions?

madmatt30 · Mar 5, 2016

Fits all Intel sockets mate including 775 which yours is I believe??

duftutta · Mar 5, 2016

Meant to say core 2 quad, sorry

So would the Raijintek fit in my current case, is it value for money, and are there any drawbacks?

madmatt30 · Mar 8, 2016

No really any drawbacks - its about 5c wise than an evo & a bit noisier.
With that old c2q you should be looking at max temps of mid 50's.

That along with the hyper 103 is the best 92mm cooler there is.

extreametech · Mar 8, 2016

The 212 EVO might just fit in that case. What you need to do is simply measure the gap between the CPU socket to the side of the case.

The hyper 212 EVO is 120mm wide and 158.5mm high and 77.0mm deep.
Here is a link to a diagram of the dimensions- http://www.ncl2000.com/ListePrix/Images1/116605/hyper-212-evo-3.jpg

Mesure you case and see if it will fit

Hope this helps : D

duftutta · Mar 8, 2016

But will it fit in my old case? Bear in mind that the CPU has been reaching temps of over 90°C according to RealTemp and Speccy, is this due to a faulty cooler or possibly something else?

duftutta :

If I was you i would personally get a new case first. by the looks of things you have very little airflow in your system, you only have 1 exhaust fan and 1 intake and that's the CPU. Get a new case that has has at least 1 exhaust fan and 1 intake fan in the front.

By the looks of things there is very little room for fitting a front fan in the current case and the exhaust fan you go have looks to be 80mm . Find a case that has 120mm fan on the front and a 120mm on the back, extra fan mounts are always welcome. What is your price range/budget for upgrading ?

duftutta · Mar 8, 2016

Price range isnt that much - around £50 give or take a few - I've considered something like the Corsair 200r.

extreametech · Mar 8, 2016

Well do you want looks, quality or just pure function ? You could easy get a case from ebay for £20 -£25 and try and get one with some sort if fans included which is what I did back in 2011 when I started to get into Computer and gaming. You could then spend the additional £25 on extra fans and a cooler! I currently have a personally modded Zalman Z11 Plus

madmatt30 · Mar 8, 2016

theres room for an intake in that old case - I can see the grill at the front plain as day.
Upto you but I personally wouldnt drop money on a new case for an old core2quad setup.
that aidos cooler will do the job straight away- its oos now though ,I did say to grab one straight away at that price!

If you really must put money into a new case this is cheap as chips & comes with 2x120mm fans.

apart from the fact it has 120mm fans rather than 80mm its not a great step up from what you have.

now youve missed the aidos deal consider the s40 instead.

IM running an i5 3470 on one of these & its not seem above 52c under prime stress testing.

Its middling build quality at best but for the money incredibly impressive value.

madmatt30 :

He will have to checkt to see if there is room inside the front of the face plate. There doesn't look lie a whole load of room behind the HDD but he may be able to fit one in their but it won't help with cooling that much. You'd only get another 80mm fan in there and it depends if his PSU or MOBO supports extra connections for powering another fan

I can see a Molex and possibly a SATA?
