Pft, the 212+ already has direct contact. The only real difference is that the 212+ had gaps in between the heatpipes and the EVO does not. They'll be within 1 or two degree's of each other. You'll see a similar variance with application of various thermal pastes, no big deal.

Over the course of about a year to year and a half, the pump on my H70 got louder until it was unbearable. I would just go with air or make your own water loop.

They also put a different fan with the EVO that (according to newegg) pushes a bit more air and is a bit quieter.
I was going to go with an H100, but decided ill go with an Evo for my new build. I think if i wanted to go water, id have my own loop that would include the video card(s) as well. Would i need it for overclocking? Likely not. Im looking at water much more for noise reduction, and coolness factor than heavy overlocking.
I also changed from an i7 to an i5 sandy. I figure an i7 is overkill atm and ill just be able to upgrade to the new Ivy Bridge when they get cheaper.

The i5 is pretty significantly cooler then the i7, since there's no hyperthreading.

Tho ill be doing other things with this PC, it will primarily be a gaming PC, and since few, if any games actually support/use hyperthreading, an i7 isnt worth the money for me atm.

, so all cpus with hyperthreading are hotter? (guessing)

Yeah, HT adds a bit more heat to the processor. After all, you are using more transistors, thus more heat.

Right now i max out at ~42C and 45C max under what i do(with my hyper 212+ in pull), i dont play anything hard on the CPU/GPU yet like COD of BF3
(FAIL I replied to a old POST my bad xD)

Thats now 100% load, but it is the max load I put my PC under at the moment. max load i get ~50C and 55C max sometimes

Ok.. i got the 212 Evo, and ram listed below. I did manged to get both installed on the mobo, but the fan is *just* touching the first ram (heatsync) Is this an issue? or will the ram not put out enough heat for it to be a problem?
Its not pushing against it, its just touching it (you could slide a piece of paper between it and its kinda tight, but it does slide in)

Cool. I didnt think it would be, and ive already proceeded to install it in the case. Given how lightly it is pushing against the ram, i didnt think it would be a big deal (the Noc fan is slightly thicker than the included CM fan, so i imagine it wouldn't even be a question, but i wanted the Noc for Push since its claimed to have higher pressure for this sort of task.
Thanks for the quick reply.
