cooler master Hyper 212 plus/Evo

[aaron6817]

I was wondering if any one was using this cpu cooler with the CM HAF 912 and a ASrock extreme4. I just want to make sure it fits in the case before i purchase it. Thanks

Pictures are welcome

I've used all three together before, it fits.

For xhat CPU? If you plan on cooling a 8 cores FX, you won't get far with it.

Extreme 4 z77 or 990FX?

its for a i5 3570k on a Extreme 4 z77

The Evo is a great heatsink.Here is guide I used for reference.I have put on at least 20 of these coolers.I always use the line method, which seems to give me the best results.Less = better, but application requires more than a pea imo.

Sure. It's an older paste but still used by many. If you like you can Google 'Thermal paste review' for lots of info.

Here is one very good one.
