based on the review between this two cooler the differences not that far price diff around rm40+/-
http://www.ccreviews.eu/CM_Hyper_TX3_evo

is it ok if i go for Hyper TX3 EVO cause size comparison also alot smaller then 212 EVO right?
any comments?

Budget always come first and take the one which fits ur budget. Result from review not all the time are true. For my opinion, if you wanna oc more thn certainly go for 212 evo. More heatpipes and largre heat fins increase cooling performance

im not gona OC for now just want my pc and cpu are cooled

If u dont intend to oc then tx3 evo should do the thing with no problem.

I'm using hyper tx3 normal edition(single fan) on 2600k. I would say it treats 2600k nicely, idle temp around 33C, playing game(HoN) 36C. Basicly, running all games below 40C. nvr full stressed the proc.

Its kinda pointless to spend money on cpu cooler if you dont tend to oc. Stock cooler is good enough to do the cooling job

stock cooler should be enough to do the job
unless your ambient temperature is high, or want to OC

cause i got extra money so i want a lil bit cooling, not a problem right?

same as me.i no overclock.but my room dam hot.proc temp can reach to 75C when games.getting hyper 212 evo soon.got extra cash u can buy.

not a prob just grab one. last time i oso use 3rd party cooler because
my room very2 hot idle oso reach near 40'C on stock cooler.

hey guys just got my evo 212 how do i clean my cpu to apply new thermal paste? i dont have any alcohol solution now

Intel stock cooler is noise, so many people change to 3rd party cooler for reduce the noise & temperature too.

is the old thermal material hard to remove, almost like chewing gum? if it is... you need something like ArctiClean, alcohol solution only is normally not enough to remove everything.

Or if you get real lazy like me, send to a computer shop, pay them RM30 and they settle the entire thing including arranging your cables properly within a day.. Haha..

i know that feel bro... just wanna fool around a little bit
for aesthetic value as well right?

if anybody intend not to upgrade their Hyper TX3 and want to reduce some noise, try this, put 2 120mm arctic F12. Joined em' using 4pcs x M4 x 110mm screws. The cost for the screws (nuts and bolts) less than RM4.

Other option, 1 120mm fan joined with 120mm fan grill with 70mm screws.

the reason i choose 212 vs tx3 is the noise tx3 create.
if u prefer silent operation, just go for 212

Cooler Master TX-3 noisier than Hyper 212.

If you don't really mind about cooling performance and cares about your casing space, TX-3 would be your choice.

Performance between TX-3 and Hyper 212 isn't that much different.

Changed from Hyper TX-3 (the old one) to Hyper 212 EVO. Mainly for aesthetics and a bit more cooling performance. Its really much bigger and heavier.

Planning on to use this Cooler Master Hyper 212+. Saw it got two version the EVO and plus. Im using a matx cassing Elite 342, not sure will it fit.Anyone??. Gonna take out my ruler than~~~

Just got myself a Cooler Master TX-3 EVO Edition yesterday.

It handles my Intel Core i5 3570K very well with only one fan attaches to it.

Temperature is about 32-33c on idle and about 37-40 while playing games such as Team fortress 2, Call Of Duty MW3, Need For Speed Shift 2 and so on.

If you didn't plan to do any overclocking, Cooler Master TX-3 EVO would be the best choice. Don't worry about Hyper 212+, price is much expensive than TX-3 EVO and it is only useful if you're going to do overclocking work.

On stock core speed, TX-3 EVO can handles as good as Hyper 212+ EVO on idle/normal usage but, there are 2-3 Celsius different on gaming.

All I can say is, Hyper TX-3 EVO is a good and a perfect cooler to replace your stock cooler. I am happy with it. Spinning silently.

How bout thermal grease? I'm no expert but what do you guys think about the intel stock thermal paste?

Stock thermal pastes are designed for un-overclocked processor. So, if you don't plan to overclock, stick with stock thermal paste.

What 12CM fan should i add for cooler master 212 evo for push pull configuration? The stock fan come with the cooler should change together? TQ

if you found that articClean pricey, just apply some amount of WD 40. it did the job well. i do it more than hundreds time.

get the old hyper 212+
it's only RM89 if you look around.

seriously no WD40 .... it contains oil and some hydrocarbon.

most my PC still alive..2 years PC. 4 years Laptop..

this is secret the beauty of WD 40.

one of my old pc and one old laptop still running stock cooling with out of the box stock thermal paste. no problem also for more than 3~4 years. no need WD40

WD40 use to remove the tough thermal paste lor.. hehe..

but nice one..u should hold it for a few years from now..

(why ar previous laptop from era 2002-2005 all laptop so tough one)

why with my TX3 installed , and i dont see any minor diff in my CPU temp.

idle still around 40-41.. how do those ppl get like 3x?? @@
(you guys do use non-stock thermal paste ?)

Idle mostly depend on ambient temperature one
So does not make much difference
The difference aftermarket heatsink make is under load

i still think 212 best money/performance

if you're not intend to OC. Just using stock fan. It's also not bad.
Some poeple can OC with stock HSF

But if you like to show off your rig why not.

+1 , the noctua DH-14 would do a much better job than the h100 .
