I recently bought a new computer with an Intel Core i3-10100F processor, and I'm in the market for a CPU cooler. I've been looking into the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for my CPU. Can anyone help me out?

@Infamouskiwi59 and @megaberg1, thanks for sharing your experiences! After reading the TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i3-10100F and considering your recommendations, I think I'll go with either the Enermax Liqmax III 360 or the Noctua NH-D15. I appreciate all the input!

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo should be fine for your Intel Core i3-10100F processor. It has a TDP of 120W which is more than enough for that CPU.

Yeah, the Hyper 212 Evo is a solid choice. I've been using it with my Core i3-10100F and haven't had any issues. The airflow is great, and it's not too noisy either.

Just make sure you apply some thermal paste properly when installing the cooler, as this can have a significant impact on cooling performance.

I came across an article on TechReviewer that might be helpful for those considering the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. It talks about other coolers suitable for the Intel Core i3-10100F, including some liquid coolers like the Enermax Liqmax III 360 and air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15. Check it out here: Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i3-10100F. You might want to consider other options as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, @Defication! The article you linked is really informative. I think I'll take a look at the Enermax Liqmax III 360 and Noctua NH-D15 as well. Do you have any personal experience with these coolers?

@clownfrog, I've used both the Enermax Liqmax III 360 and Noctua NH-D15, and they're excellent choices. The Enermax liquid cooler is great for maintaining low temperatures while being relatively quiet. On the other hand, the Noctua air cooler is known for its exceptional build quality and performance.

I've used the Noctua NH-D15, and it's indeed a top-notch cooler. It doesn't take up too much space on my small desk, and it keeps my CPU cool even during intensive tasks.

That's a good choice, @clownfrog. Both of those coolers are reliable options for your Intel Core i3-10100F CPU. Just make sure to keep an eye on the temperatures and adjust fan speeds if needed.

@clownfrog Great! I'm glad you found some options that work for you. Remember, maintaining a clean system and applying quality thermal paste can also help with cooling performance. Good luck with your new cooler!
