Cooler Master CPU cooler comparison: Hyper TX3 Evo versus 212 Evo
Cooler Master CPU cooler comparison: Hyper TX3 Evo versus 212 Evo
I've thought about Seidon 120V Plus before, but now I'm leaning towards Noctua NH-C14 since it's one of the top-tier options that matches my case. The choice really comes down to the prices in my area, as both are solid choices according to what I've heard.

I've thought about Seidon 120V Plus before, but now I'm leaning more towards Noctua NH-C14 since it's one of the top high-end coolers that would fit my case. It really depends on the prices in my area, as both are solid choices (according to what I've heard).
Yes, both are great picks. If liquid cooling is an option, I'd go with that but I wouldn't choose the Seidon... I'd prefer the H60i or something similar, as long as you know how to fit the radiator inside the case.
I got the TX3 Evo with my i5-3570k i OC to 4.0Ghz... ran prime and max temp of one core was 70°C... the other three were around 68~69°C... I plan to try a 4.4Ghz when I switch my MSI Z77A-G43 to a P8Z77-V.
Before the tx3, my PC was around 30-35c during idle. Now it's at 25-30c. The Unigine Heaven benchmark showed a significant drop from 55-57c with the stock cooler to 45-47c with the new cooler. It's really a big improvement. Adding another fan might take it even further, but my CPU isn't overclocked yet.
Yeah, I just discovered how to overclock my GPU and it worked fine. But for the CPU, I have no idea which programs to try or what changes to make in my BIOS yet... I'm reading a lot right now. Any advice or updates would be super helpful, by the way hehe.
