Hyper 212 evo or CORSAIR h50 for my i5 4690k

Carson1st · Nov 8, 2016

Basically, the question is the title.

Not sure if i want traditional or water cooling? Also personally, do any of you guys know which one is easier to set up?

Also, could you check if either one is compatible with my build? I checked on pcbuilder, but just want to make sure =)

The 212 won't fit but if it did it would likely set up easier and be more reliable than a cheap AIO.

I suggest the CRYORIG H7 if you can fit the budget in.

Justiceinacan :

about to order it, your sure it can fit with my build?

Hyper212 is 159mm tall. I do not know what you will have available, but since the case is some 200mm wide, I imagine it would fit.
But, the Cryorig H7 is only 145mm tall, and has an easier mounting system so I would go with that.

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"

Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well with a decent air cooler.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I just ordered the h7 mainly because of the reviews I read and it was on sale.

The 212 Evo will work and it will fit in the case. Of that I am 100% sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o-Q4tbzxB0 . The 212 Evo keeps my 4690K nice and happy http://postimg.org/image/jtg1v6lmb/ even during long gaming sessions

I realize this is a moot point since the H7 has already been ordered but should someone be in your position in the future and see this question they will know they can buy the 212 Evo without worries. As long as you got your question solved(props to Justiceinacan) I'm happy. If your question helps others then that's even better.
