Cooler master Hyper 212x or TX3 EVO

[mogans]

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a CPU cooler for Intel i5-6500 processor.I am not interested in Overclocking and I'm looking for a decent and compact air cooler.

I have confusion in choosing between Hyper 212x and TX3 EVO. Seems Hyper 212x is quite big in size compared to Tx3 EVO.

Will i face any air flow issues inside the motherboard if i choose Hyper 212x?

Please provide some suggestions.

212x and TX3 EVO are both decent enough coolers, but not the quietest you could get. There won't be any airflow issues since you're not overclocking. Just make sure you have at least one case fan, preferably as an exhaust. 2 intakes + 1 exhaust is optimal for most setups using a single mid range gaming graphics card.

I would recommend Arctic i11. RPM ranges from 500-2000 with a 92mm fan, it will be silent at low RPM's and still very quiet at high RPM's. But you would even need to use the high RPM's since you're not overclocking, it'll stay cool enough even at about 1000-1500 RPM max.
