Are you going to OC the CPU? Hyper 212X doesn't provide enough cooling power if you OC, unless it is minimal OC.

Yes i do plan to OC it . I know nuts about this " cooler's" is it a fan or something?
*
Its a heat sink with fan. I suggest you use stock cooler first, then you slowly explore how to OC and stuff, then only you invest on better cooler.

So the CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler is a stock cooler?

Err no. Stock cooler is the one that comes along with your Intel CPU.

I'm confused guys . I'm getting the new processor with has a said stock cooler . Then what about the  CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler . Total two coolers? Sorry for asking newb questions icon_question.gif

The CPU already comes with a cooler. And you bought another cooler (Hyper 212X), so you have 2 cooler.

I suggest you use the cooler that comes with the CPU first, don't buy the Hyper 212X. After you explored more on OC, then you can invest more money on better cooler.

CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler RM135 Not necessary
Corsair Carbide 400R Casing RM299 If you're okay with the looks
Liteon 24x Sata DVDRW RM65 Last 2 weeks I bought a ASUS DVD optical drive from Viewnet for RM55 only

Considering he doesn't know much about PCs, optical drive might comes in handy when he install the drivers and stuff.

Never did like the triple fan design of the Jetstreams. :/ But yeah, if TS wants to get it, why not. Though I would recommend water-cooling since he's going SFF.

I think triple fans is a bit over. 2 fans is already enough to cover the whole heat sink. Unless your card is as long as 7990.
