I5 2500k hyper 212 evo vs coolermaster v8

I'd say that the Hyper 212 and the V8 are fine choices for any decent OC, but if you have the money, the H100 from Corsair is the best you can get.

Liquid cooling solutions are a little more user-dependant though, but should not be that much of a deal.

Now, in particular to your question, I like the V8 more than the 212, but the 212 edges it out but a little. So, the cheaper one should be the good call :p 

Here's a pretty good review for he H80, the second best from Corsair and it lists the V8 and 212 in the big chart they use:

I used to have the Hyper 212+ and the Thermaltake v3, and I can say with personal experience that the 212+ dose fit in the v3. You will have about 1/4" or maybe a little less between the tips of the heat pipes and the side panel, but the side dose go on just fine. :D 

Good Luck!

I thik I will get the hyper 212 water cooling is too expensive. Will it fit in my thermaltake v3 black edition if you need pics I will send them.
Good choice the H-100 is a waste of money and not real water cooling anyways it preforms on par with it's fans on highest settings with heat sinks such as Silver Arrow and NH-D14 which are quieter and cheaper the hyper 212 evo will be fine for mild overclocking ;) 

Here is a video showing how to mount a H100 watercooling module onto a LGA2011 CPU:

The installation methods vary marginally, and both coolermaster and corsair have very slick and clean, also simple graphical instructions on how to mount their product. In my opinion, the only thing you need to pay attention is to get the right mounting bracket, the 1155 one, in your case.
Have fun upgrading your PC. ^_^

What cooler do you use or do you water cool your whole system i will be over clocking to like 4.5-4.8 ghz??

Best solution

A Custom watercooling solution, which contains many parts.

For a 4.5ghz the Hyper 212 EVO will work perfectly fine! The 212 EVO on my 4.5ghz 2500K system hits roughly 67C on full load!

4.5ghz the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo will be fine i am not so sure about 4.8ghz i seriously doubt the Evo would preform well assuming your cpu will be able to hit that high you need NH-D14 or Silver Arrow if you want to do that on air 24-7 i have two different rigs on my main one i use a rasa water cooling kit on my other rig i use NH-D14 hope this answers your question. :)
