Replace Coolermaster 212+ with H60 for i5-2500k?

[zackj3]

I currently have my i5-2500k at 4.5ghz, running around 40c idle and getting close to the 70c mark during prime95 testing.

Tigerdirect has the H60 on sale for $50 + free shipping. Is it worth jumping on this deal and replacing my Coolermaster 212+?

Liquid isn't really worth looking at until you get to the h80 or h100. The Antecedent Kuhler 620 is priced right though performance really doesn't make it worthwhile over a 212

^ agree with him. the 212 is too awesome to replace

It's hard to say. That's a pretty good deal. But, I think your temps may only be around 3-5C better in small overclocks. In large overclocks, it will be a bigger difference.

How much is shipping? The H60 is $75 with free shipping on Newegg.
