I just put the Evo on tonight and I was simply startled at how much of an improvement it is over my long, long time friend, the Scythe Ninja Rev B. With all that in mind, I'd personally nudge you toward the True Spirit, but I don't think the Evo is a bad choice either. Cooler Master is supposed to be sending me a backplate, but I just got a second email from them asking me to fill out a parts request so I'm afraid they've mixed something up - I already filled out a parts request 7 days ago I also ordered the Hyper 212 Evo from Newegg (before knowing more about the True Spirit) and it's sitting on the desk right here next to me because the thing came without a backplate.
HardOCP reviewed the True Spirit and came away impressed (both the 120 mm and the 140 mm models). I've done some research on the two and the Thermalright True Spirit has gotten better reviews. But the True Spirit is hard to find (NewEgg doesn't stock Thermalright last I checked) and the CoolerMaster coolers are often on sale at NewEgg, making the value calculation different. Here's their review of the 212 Evo - they're a bit unimpressed, but only because the Thermalright True Spirit was a better value. XBitlabs does pretty good cooler reviews.

(That motherboard actually has two PWM CPU fan headers, plus several other fan headers, so you could just about turn the case into a wind tunnel if you wanted to)

So unless you're getting into water cooling with pumps and whatnot, it's really not something to worry about (and if it comes to that you can always power them directly from a molex off the PSU rather than a motherboard header: all you need is an adapter, which many HSFs include).Įdit: I just happened to be looking through a Z68 mobo manual yesterday (ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen3) and noticed it listed the max draw for the CPU fan as "1A (12W)" - of course not all motherboards are the same but I expect that's pretty standard for modern notherboards, and leaves plenty of headroom for multiple fans. It's quite possible to run more than one fan off a single motherboard fan header even some monster coolers pull only 4W or so and run off a single header. Also does any after market cooler takes more power/voltage than a stock cooler? ThanksThe only thing that uses power on the cooler is the fan, and they tend to run just a couple of watts - power usage will vary more with the RPM of the fan than will from one kind to another.
