my hyper evo is not doing a good job at cooling so ive decided to buy my self a AIO cooler the NZXT X52 ive had one water cooler before that (AIO) and it was bad and it sounded like someone was putting a pen into a fan blade so now im trying for water cooling again
should i buy the NZXT X52 or some thing else?

Oh it's only 40mm, doubt you will notice a difference. But just make sure you keep all of the screws because the backplate will be different for the new LGA 1151 you will be getting. Other than that, enjoy that cool infinity mirror.

I have the x62, but I don't know if dropping $149 is worth it for a 5 year old CPU. You may want to consider a $40 Cryorig H5/H7.

The new Krakens are pretty good, but can be a bit tricky with the CAM software. One you get past that, it keeps its cool.

Just for giggles, what temps are you getting with your Hyper 212?

I have the S340 case with a x62 in it..so it is possible. The fans have to face out. I have a video on YT, but don't want to post it to think I'm trying to gain views or something.

My point is, the x62 works just fine with the S340. Plus I have the Hue+ as well.
