good cpu cooler?

Pcman135 · Jul 2, 2017

hi there guys. i just want an opinion on whether this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-EVO-CPU-Cooler-/381480534620?epid=1117239237&hash=item58d203025c:g:HIoAAOSwcBhWXWpw
will be a good cooler for my pc. i have an intel dq57tm desktop board and need to upgrade my old cpu cooler because ive started playing games such as gta V which heat up the cpu. i want to ideally be 70 degrees or less. its an i5 750 at stock clock speed.

thanks.

yes this will do fine. although it is a bit tall, make sure it will fit, some cases are two thin.

It looks like a full ATX, so it should be fine.

excellent. yeah ive got a intel dq57tm mobo in the case so should have a fair bit of space.

My case is 8.75 inches wide, and I have one, and it's a mid tower.

goldstone77 :

ok then. ill go for it.

another question, im going to get a gigabyte 1050ti for my mobo, however the card is PCI 3.0 whilst my mobo can only go upto pci 2.0? will it work and will there be any side effects?

goldstone77 · Jul 3, 2017

It will work fine! It's backwards compatible. Even the most powerful GPU's like the 1080Ti don't even come close to utilizing PCI-E 8x 3.0. So, 2.0 is fine! The difference from 3.0 16X and 3.0 8X is ~1% or less hahaha

Edit: Explanation: PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot offers a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 8 GiB/s, while a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot reaches 16 GiB/s

k! really apprciate the answer. so i take it that it wouldnt be noticeable even if i did have pci .3.0?

Robert Cook · Jul 3, 2017

As mentioned above, it should fit with no problems and as for the PCIE yes 2.0 is absolutely fine especially for that card.
