What extra fan for the Hyper 212 Evo should I purchase?

[unknown9122]

What fan matches the one that is provided with the Hyper 212 Evo so I can create a push pull airflow? Also, would the push-pull configuration fit with this mobo?:

My case is the Corsair 400r, if you need that extra info.

I think a CM megaflow 200 will do...

The Hyper 212 EVO only fits 120mm fans, not 200mm ones.

Is there a budget for a fan?

well, I just want a high quality one, under 20 bucks each will be great. I am thinking of just 1 cougar. I hear that push pull doesnt cool that much.

Best match for the one that's already on it, and the one I use personally for my own push/pull setup on my 212 Evo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103069

I hear it is quite loud though, and isnt the built in fan clipped on, while the 212+ has those metal clips. So would the 2 aftermarket fans, not the cooler master, have to be clipped on?

The cm hyper212 at stock is a very effective cooler. I would try it first and see how you do.
You can always add a fan later.

If you really want/need maximum cooling, spend more up front on a top cooler like the Noctua NH-D14.

It wouldn't be any louder than what's already there (32 dBA at 100% is quite good, really), and the 212 EVO (and 212+ too) come with the extra mounting brackets. The ones for the 212 Evo are plastic brackets that you screw onto the fan, actually.

I dont really wanna spend more on a heat sink, i am new to this building, and coming from using a gaming laptop, i am used to running a bit hot xD.

Thanks for the reply though

OMG that is amazing, thanks for telling me.

I will try it out and see if it is too loud for my liking, i will buy the cougar.

About how much cooler can an extra fan keep your CPU temps? 2 or 3 degrees? Thinking about doing this myself I don't like seeing my temps get as high as they do in the summer....

2 or 3 degrees doesnt really matter. So i am gonna stay with one.

It's about 3-5C cooler under load. No difference at all at idle.
