i5 2500 or i5 2500k for 14.5k ? Either ways its way too expensive. Local rate for the 2500k should be around 12.5-13k max. Somehow I find kolkata rates are higher than other smaller towns/cities.
CM hyper 212 evo is a great cooler. Worth waiting for. Make sure your cpu settings are fine and the case has proper ventilation. All coolers (air/liquid) have their limits.
8GB ram looks like overkill. I think 2*2gb will serve your purpose just fine.
Ram installation wont be a problem if
1. You avoid push pull config with cooler.
2. Fix the single cooler fan towards the rear of the case.
Absolutely true-prices of most computer components tend to be on the higher side at kolkata's markets,which is very disappointing to say the least.This often forces most consumers on a tight budget to compromise on quality and go for cheaper components to avoid spending too much money.
I've heard that due to its humongous size,CM 212 EVO blocks one or more RAM slots on the motherboard,that's the reason I'm a bit hesitant to buy this cooler.But I do not intend to use it in a push-pull config,will that prevent the cooler from interfering with the Ram slots?
How different is the CM hyper TX3 from Evo 212?Is it just as big as EVO 212 and can it cool a i5 3450 cpu effectively?Also,does it block any of the RAM slots on a motherboard?
