Its ok not to be as detailed as GamersNexus's charts, but comparing it to another cooler or two would be nice. Its hard to judge performance without a a baseline and benchmarks. My local MicroCenter finally starting carrying Noctua, they've always had the 212. Several of the ones you listed most be ordered, for some they are not even available for order. The 212 is still an easily obtainable cooler for almost every one. It max RPM is 3500 I believe, which is quite a step up, but before I tinker, id like to know if anyone has seen any noticeable improvements with the mod Im suggesting.
I was thinking of taking off the Stock fan, and replacing it with a Enermax Twister 120 MM fan. Lots of people say that, but like it or not the 212 is still a very popular cooler stocked on store shelves everywhere. 1) Push and Pull Config (which results in 1-2 C improvements). Heck, even some of the little Arctic freezer eSports coolers, like the one in this comparison, are better than that. Unfortunately, it's too tall for some cases, so a shorter unit with a 120mm fan becomes a necessity sometimes, but there is almost, almost always a better choice than the 212 EVO.
B, C) or something like the Thermalright True spirit 140 direct which itself is only about 40 bucks and pretty much flattens any other cooler in that price range.
What WOULD be nice to see however is a comparison to the likes of the Deepcool Gammaxx 400, the NEW Gammaxx 400S, any of the various revisions of the Scythe Mugen 5 (rev. Darkbreeze said:Nobody is comparing anything to the 212 series coolers anymore, because they are not the go to choice for budget cooling and haven't been for a long time. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 CPU Air Cooler with SickleFlow 120, Model RR-2V2E-18PK-R2 ,PWM Fan, Direct Contact Technology, 4 copper Heat Pipes for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1700/1200/1151.
