I have done so much research and can not find the answer to how much RPM for my cpu cooler is recommended to cool my i7-4790k. I am either thinking about the cooler master hyper 212 evo which is 600-2000RPM or the Cryorig H7 which is 330-1600RPM. I don't know much about cooling and what not but i will be running the i7-4790k and maybe doing Slight OC. I am just wondering how much RPM i should need to keep it cool because if i need more ill get the hyper 212 evo because that has a max of 2000RPM

The Cryorig H7 is newer, more advanced technology and a better cooler than the Hyper 212. To see if a specific cooler is fit for the job you want to know what the TDP (thermal design power) rating is. The TDP of a 4790K is 88 watts. The...

cfm is what matters and the materials that make up the heat sink. There are tons of reviews out there with a simple search on google and reading newegg reviews for example. But the hyper 212 evo should suffice under normal operating conditions. Make sure your case is well ventilated too. good luck

The amount of air a fan can move involves more than RPM, fan blade design plays an integral role. A better indication of fan efficiency is CFM, how much air can it move in a set amount of time.
A slow well designed fan can move more air than a poor high RPM model.
I have a 4790K and I am using a Cosair H100i so I really can't help you choose your cooler. I'm sure there are reviews that cover the various coolers for the 4790K.

The stock intel cooler works fine for it at factory settings. Either should provide better cooling than the stock cooler and be sufficient for what you want to do.

Regardless of how much air the fan can move the overall design will contribute to how well it can exchange and dissipate heat.

The Cryorig H7 is newer, more advanced technology and a better cooler than the Hyper 212. To see if a specific cooler is fit for the job you want to know what the TDP (thermal design power) rating is. The TDP of a 4790K is 88 watts. The Cryorig H7 is designed for CPU's with TDP up to 140 watts, so it can easily do the job for your CPU.
