Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by junhawng

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Hello OCN,

I'm in the process of combining two builds and buying some other parts for one build and I'm selling the old, but what I plan on having is:

i7 2600k
CM 212+
16GB DDR3 1600 MHz (Ripjaws)
Biostar TZ68A+
GTS 450
Xonar DX
Seagate 1TB
3 case fans
1 DVD Burner

I have a Corsair 430w PSU lying around that's essentially brand new, it might be a stretch, but is that enough to power this hardware? I don't plan on overclocking. Recommendations for PSU's if not (budget friendly, as modular as possible)?

I got the i7 at Microcenter for $280, $50 off a motherboard, sold it to a friend and made a pretty good profit, in the end, it didn't cost me much. I had plans to overclock it but lost interest.

GTS 450 because I'm not a huge gamer, I just plan on playing Borderlands 2 and the Dolphin emulator.

And yes, the CX430 PSU, that should suffice?

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
