Cooler Master Hyper 212 vs Corsair RM850x Power Supply

The heatsink design uses a 4 heat pipes for excellent dissipation of heat and this is a nickel brass aluminum fins instead of the gray aluminum fins t...

So the Corsair RM850X has been installed into my Thermaltake P3 open case and it only took me a couple of minutes to actually do that. All I had to do...

FAN: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Cooler w/ PWM fan - Efficient Cooling Performance [+2]. POWERSUPPLY: 1,000 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold Power Supply [+40]. CARE1: Ultra Enhanced Packaging Solution - Protect Your Dream System During Transit [+19]. WARRANTY: PREMIUM WARRANTY: Standard 1 Year Parts WARRANTY + ONE (1) YEAR SHIPPING [+19]

In terms of the overall build quality, I've been using corsair ps2s for a long time, and this white RM850 was particularly nice because of the high qu...

As soon as this thing was installed and I booted up my PC, the results were IMMEDIATELY noticeable. My idle temps have plummeted from 65-70 down to about 25-28 Celsius. Under load ( I played an early 2019 game on almost max settings for several hours), the temp barely rose, going to about 34-36 Celsius across all my cores. This beast definitely does it's job VERY well and I'm thrilled about it

It's a modular power supply unit which means you can plug in the cables that you need and only the cables you need saving space in your case without a...

Powersupply: I usually start by looking at Seasonic and higher end EVGA and Corsair models.

I mean it's a good powersupply, but the cables are so stiff it makes it hard to cable manage in a tight case. I had to make some extremely tight and uncomforable bends (well, they're closer to folds than bends) so I wouldn't have cables jutting out of my motherboard. There's really thick black tape near the ends of the cables where it would probably be ideal to bend them, which is annoying, and the sleeving itself adds considerable bulk. The plastic ends also were inconsistent in color

I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 on my i5 9600k overclocked to 4.8GHz and I never go above 75 even in benchmark/stress testing. The other thing I would recommend is using some decent thermal paste, and more importantly: applying it correctly. Basically you want it to cover as much of the CPU as possible, without spilling over the sides

Memory - Crucial Ballistix (4 x 8GB) 3200Mhz. A great overclocking kit of RAM that fits the stealth aesthetic perfectly. If Micro Center sold the Patriot Viper Steel memory kits I would have gone with those.

I'm using a 3600 myself and have a very limited budget. I used what Tech YES City (a YouTube channel that focuses on best value for money PC building) recommend which is a Snowman Cooler (Air Cooler) with GD900 (thermal paste). My temps are 36 °C Min and 50 °C Max when idle and 45 °C Min and 66 °C Max when in game. Edit: Best budget CPU cooler that I know of, Snowman (Cheapest), Cooler Master Hyper 212, DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400

These ones are clearly labeled: PCIE, CPU, SATA, etc. CONS - The price. It's a really nice price when on sale, but when not on sale, you can find some cheaper alternatives from non name brand companies. However, as this is a power supply, you should NOT cheap out on it

Make sure you look at its dimensions and know the dimensions of your case to ensure that it will fit in with the panels on. This cooler does come with some thermal paste with which to apply and install the cooler but I had some higher quality stuff laying around from a previous mother board upgrade/replacement so I used it instead. I'm not sure of the quality of the thermal paste that comes with the cooler but I'd probably spend a couple extra bucks and buy you a high quality paste alongside your order of this cooler just to be safe. I should note that previously I only had 2 case fans installed in my case

You definitely need to make sure that you're buying a power supply that provides multiple CPU power connectors, not all over $ 100 power supplies. Do ...
