Hey all, I am currently using a Hyper 212 Evo with the pre-assembled fan that comes bundled with it.

However, soon I am going to be rotating my heatsink, as it will improve airflow in my case. I was wondering how I could add a new fan to the Hyper 212 Evo in the process, or replace the OEM one?

I'm assuming if I was to purchase a 120mm fan like this, the Noctua NF-P12 Vortex-Control, I would simply attach the stuff like rubber grips and clips provided in the box of the CM Hyper 212 Evo?

Thanks very much in advance for your help :)

You just need the bracket,there should be an extra one with the EVO.

Yes use the extra bracket,it will work,use one or use both fans for a push\pull config.

Ah that is good to hear!

I am in the UK, so don't have easy access to all the same fans that appear in benchmarking tests. However, I have been doing a bit of research, and have found the following 4 fans. I know that the given dimensions for the Hyper 212 Evo fan are "120x120x25 mm (4.7x4.7x1 inch)" , yet don't know what to think about the fan speed specifications "600 - 1600 RPM (PWM) ± 10%". These were taken from the official website

Would you mind giving them the once over and checking if they are all viable?
Noctua NF-F12 PWM
Enermax Appolish Vegas
Scythe Gentle Typhoon
Akasa Viper

At the moment, I am likely to settle with the Noctua NF-F12 PWM . I may get two and use a push/pull set-up. Or simply use the second for air flow INTO the case (don't have one at the moment).


Thanks SO much :)  You're a Tomshardware legend!

Here there taming an FX8120 OCd to 4.8ghz at the moment, trying for 5 ghz.

Temps never exceed 50c under prime small fft test.

Do you know if there are any closed alternatives? Allowing ease of component swapping, yet suitability for general use? Thanks :)
