I enjoy my 212+ on my OEM cpu. I am sure you'd get a few degrees drop switching from a stock cooler to the hyper 212+ and the price is right vs. other after market coolers. If you have more questions about the cooler follow the link in my sig.

Im in this same boat. I live in the midwest(usa) and it can get HOT here, my roomate is a cheap ass who hates AC so temps in my room can get up to 32-35c this summer

I am not so sure the Hyper212+ is up to the job due to stupid high ambiant temps. Im going to give a Silver Arrow a try and see if my load temps stay acceptable in this situation. at abuout 27c the hyper212 should perform well. I suggest a push pull fan set up on it though.

I would not spend the money on the v8...or the v6 for that matter, for a few bucks more you can get sooo much more.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
The Mugen 2 can beat the Corsair H50 on AMD setups.

Amazon.com: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler, RR-B10-212P-G1: ElectronicsYou can get a 212+ at amazon for $30 free shipping. Just make sure to choose the one that has free super saver shipping.
So I ended up getting a Hyper 212+ (Considering the temps where I live easily get into the mid-high 90s in the summer) for only $23 from Fry's. Better yet, there's a $10 rebate on it

. I got a second fan and it dropped my prime95 load temp from 60+ to a cool 40 degrees celsius.
Just some input for later reference, the 2nd fan is not worth it (especially if you go for the $12 Blade master). If you want the extra fan, just get a cheaper 120mm fan. The 2nd fan dropped temps on mine about 4 degrees cel.

You always match fans when doing a push pull setup. Mismatching them will often decrease the effectiveness of the setup, and put extra strain on the fans.
I had a push pull blademasters and it was very worthwhile, and allowed me to lower both fans to where I could no longer hear them while keeping good temps.

I dissagree with this. It depends on what your going for. The Stock blademaster fan Has decent static pressure, flow's pretty good(70+CFM at 100%).Its not the best for push pull, but after doing many tests on my roomat's rig we found that second bushmaster on his rig was a few degree's cooler on the top end load temps(2-3c). Weather or not a second fan works is realy depends on many things in a rig, what works for one wont always work for the other.

Sorry for the multi quote, my browser somtimes hate's this fourm.
This is true, Some people get a way with missmatched fans but I would recomend aginst it on push pull for a cooler. Buy 2 of the same fan. I messed with a cooler master and some san ace 1011's and WOW in push pull its just insane what that cooler can do....I'll warn you i spent more on the fans than the cooler though lol.
