Best sub $20 fan for Ivy Bridge 3570K

[zijin_cheng]

Hi, what is the best sub $20 fan for an Ivy Bridge 3570K? I would like to OC to maybe a max of 4.5Ghz

That would be the stock one.

Something better than stock and worth the trouble of installing (as the stock fan is super easy) is going to run you at least $30.

I guess I can't be a cheapskate, since you say at least $30, are there any ones worth it for $30?

Hyper 212 plus. On sale for under 25 a lot and sometimes under 20. Normal price 30

I got mine for cheaper at Fry's, but Egg has it for $35, that's what I got on mine.

Egg has the 212+ $20 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103065

You can pay for a 3570K but a fan breaks the bank but you want to OC as well? Does it need to offer free massages as well?

Sorry, but you need to be realistic, you're obviously building a machine with some wants, you splurged on some parts, and the machine will only be as strong as the weakest link. Why would you spend that to throttle it with a bargain bin cooler.

Hyper 212+ which costs $30 ($20 AR) is good up to 4.2-4.4. If you want to pay less than $20 then you're good up to anything that can be achieved on stock volts IMO.

This should get you to 4.5:http://redirect.anandtech.com/r?url...duct.aspx?Item=N82E16835118059&user=u00000687 Scythe Mugen 3 $50. Weighs 826g with six heatpipes. 212+ is 626g with four heatpipes.

+1 for the 212

yet go $30 and buy the EVO as it's quite a bit better with IB.
(212's early reviews gave the + and EVO similar temps and criticised the EVO for costing $10 more ... but that was on SB' bigger die)

below $20 the only choice is the basic Intel hs. which isn't nearly as bad as they used to be.

I own a hyper 212+ and its a great cooler and it come with extra brackets to mount a second 120mm fan on it

There's also the Thermaltake HR2 Macho at $40, which is probably the best bang for the buck heatsink on the market; it has a 140mm fan and great cooling capabilities, while remaining silent. If you want to OC, it's -the- go-to-heatsink on a budget.
Current amazon.com price is 50 dollars, but some questionable shops on shopping.google.com show up with lower prices into the low 30s.

A cooler master 212 is like $30 and decent. I have a tx3 best buy edition by rocket fish basically. Lot better than stock and its like $10 on eBay or amazon market

Hyper 212, you can't go wrong with that price. lowest i've seen was $9.99 AR

+1

As others already mentioned you can usually find deals for around $20-$25.

Does anybody know how much better the evo is? Is it worth it? I might get one for a gaming system I´m building for my brother.

 

[dahhbears!]

Get the Hyper 212 EVO. The redesign at the bottom contact makes it easier to apply thermal paste.

Corsair A50 is $15 AR at the Egg

this thread is a month old, if he doesn't have it already, he isn't going to get it.

 

[zijin_cheng]

sorry for not replying, completely forgot about this thread, I've decided on a 212, however I moved to thunder bay Ontario, and this place only has a future shop. Shipping for these things usually kills the deals, do u guys know anywhere to get a 212 free ship?

 

[ElFenix]

not going to help you up in the frozen tundra, but the hyper212 is $10 AR at microcenter right now

Waarr, I might be able to pickup, but I'm 40 minutes from the border, but driving down 40mins and wasting gas at $1.14 a litre, its not worth it.

Thanks though, its probably cheaper to buy it at $30 here.

 

[dawp]

well, you can get it at ncix in canuck land for around $30 CAD

[zijin_cheng]

I saw the Scythe Rasetsu for $30, I might get that one

What are your opinions on this one compared to the 212 and Evo?
