Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black

Recently bought for upgrade in my friends computer, and I think I was taken aback by its quality in comparison to the large Noctua heatsink I have installed in my own built more recently. It is compact, and lightweight, but looks and feels premium, with central bound reinforcement to the fins, so I didn't have to worry about the individual fins bending during installation. The fan was very easy to install, and runs quiet and bright. I have it running on a Ryzen 5 2600, stock speeds, at acceptable idle temperatures. I removed and used my own thermal paste (Arctic MX-6), which runs well as expected, I can only assume the stock paste would be effective within a small number of additional degrees. The fan comes with a PWM header, and also an ARGB header. Unfortunately the motherboard did not have a Lighting controller, however the fan's default rainbow looks amazing.

Switching from an AIO to this air cooler has helped massively when the AIO went faulty. It's, in my opinion, a very good value for money, very good at keeping the CPU at a consistent temperature, and the installation was very easy to follow. If you want a CPU cooler for a good price, consider this one!

Can't fault it for what I use it for, and it's generally very quiet. Keeps my 14600K at decent temperatures even when my system is really hammering it. Having said that, if you're buying this for a processor that you're going to overclock (despite the K, I'm not overclocking mine — would have very little benefit in my system), you'll probably want something a bit stronger. Obviously that all depends on the airflow around your system; if you've chosen to make your system silent by stuffing it full of pillows, then your cooling needs are likely to be a little more extreme. Incidentally, stuffing your system full of pillows is not a good way to make it silent. It's a good way to make your street very noisy with the sound of fire engines.

Replaced an old Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo when upgrading the CPU in my PC, looks sleek, was much easier to fit than my old one as the bracket was designed much better with this model, and no concerns with temps during gaming. All running cool and pretty quiet too, why bother with an AIO cooler!

I ordered this cooler and installed it on my Ryzen 5 5600X. Before, my CPU temperatures (using AMD's stock cooler) averaged about 50 degrees celsius when resting, and got as hot as 90 degrees when under load. These temperatures were definitely abnormal, and in hindsight, I most likely botched the installation of the stock cooler. Now, with this cooler installed and with a healthy helping of Arctic's MX-4 thermal paste, my resting temperature is 35 degrees celsius, and when the processor is under load, about 50 degrees. I will continue this review with some heads-ups for newer PC-builders and my experience of installation. Do note that if you are tedious about your PC's lighting, ensure that your motherboard has a 5V 3-pin header handy. I purchased this cooler on a whim and, unfortunately, I only have 12V 4-pin headers for RGB. The RGB still works even if you only plug in the fan header, however you cannot control it with software. It's not the end of the world, and I can attest that RGB really does help you win games. For AM4 chips, there is not much hardware installation and removal involved as compared with other processors-- you must tinker with more pieces if you are an Intel user. All I had to do was simply uninstall my previous cooler, apply thermal paste, put the heat sink and fan together and then mount it on to the AM4 backplate for my motherboard. I did not account for clearance when purchasing the Hyper 212 cooler, and fortunately I did not need to temporarily remove my RAM or any other parts to install the entire cooler, nor take my motherboard out of the chassis (although it would probably make your life easier if you did). However, it's probably in your best interest to gauge the space between your components prior to ordering this cooler. My case is mATX and as mentioned before installation was very smooth. Some people noted that they did not receive Cooler Master's thermal paste when they ordered the cooler. I did, but I opted to use the aforementioned MX-4 by Arctic out of personal preference. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quick dispatch of the fan, its sleek design, simple installation, efficiency compared to my previous cooler, and how quiet it is! Cooler Master does it again with producing quality air coolers. I am rating this product 4/5 because of a paper tag on one of the cables that will void your warranty if you remove it. It is a tad bit obnoxious and I wished that manufacturers could put them elsewhere on their products. Besides that, my only other qualm is with the RGB header issue, but that's my own fault for not doing my research 😃

I bought this to replace the standard intel cooler in my pc it has always sufferd with high temps, The cooler is a tight fit it is a small case with m-atx. the cooler runs almost silent and has dropped temperature by at least15 degrees even under heavy gaming the temperature stays under 70 degrees on the cpu , and at idle it runs around 28. If you cant fit liquid cooling i would highly recomend this it was easy to fit no removing the motherboard if you already have the threaded plate from previous intel cooler.All parts are in the box if you dont rgb is good. in all it took 20 mins to fit including clippin up the cables. i would highly recomend

Had this for a long time now, pc is on most of the day 8hours + a day and my AMD cpu runs hot. was great value for money and easy to mount, RGB still working

Very happy with this purchase, using it with a ryzen 5 5800x3d, keeps this cpu cool under decent load. Fan looks great, is an updated version to the others in my case but looks very similar with great colour. Make sure to check dimensions for your case, mine was very tight to the glass. Instructions were clear and easy to follow to install.

Cooler perfeito, mesmo com meu processador em estresse ele mantém uma temperatura baixa

I have a Ryzen 9 3950x. I used to have a NZXT Kraken Z73 for this CPU but the software literally made me want to throw it away because for some reason the software has a hard time controlling the screen of 2 Z73's at the same time. I bought this knowing they are usually pretty cheap and good. They have kept my temps the same as the Z73, if not lower at times. All I did was add a second fan to help the cooler. Seems to do the job perfectly so far. Ran at 100% was around 71°C which is just about what the Kraken was doing also. So I have no complaints at all. Plus its quiet, and at that temp my fans are around 1500RPM because I have a higher fan curve in BIOS. Works great

Eski pc min işlemci (6700k LGA 1151 soketli) ve ana kartını yeni mini kasaya geçirdim ve bu soğutucuyu almamın sebebidir eski soketler bile uyuyor kutu üstünde falan yazıyor kesin bakın almadan uyumluluğu. Fiyatı çok uygundu ve kalitesi aşikar. Bembeyaz ve çok şık. Benim ana kartımda rgb 3 pin kontrol pini yok. RGB kontrol pinini bağlamadım ama ona rağmen RGB çalıştı, tek sorun kontrol edilmiyor. Gök kuşağı gibi spektrum biçiminde rengarenk oluyor, beyaz kasaya çok güzel renk kattı. Kutu içinden termal macun da çıkıyor minnacık coolermaster'ın ama ben onu kullanmadım. Demir bloğu kalın değil, bayağı kompakt o yüzden çok hoşuma gitti. Bu işlemci soğutucuyla ilgili tek uyarım ; fanı demir bloğa takarken dikkat edin, 4 tane demirden şekillendirilmiş tel çıkıyor onunla demir bloğa fanı bağlıyorsunuz. Kitapçıkta doğru düzgün göstermiyor. Bu nedenle 1 tane teli baya fazla bükerek şeklini bozdum. O teli fana kibarca oturttuktan sonra klips misali teli biraz geriye esnetip metal bloğun plakaları arasına oturtuyorsunuz güzelce. O telleri fazla bükmeyin şekli bozulmasın. Şekli bozulacakmış gibi olursa ve zorluyorsanız bilin ki yanlış yapıyorsunuz. Neyse ki 2 tane fazladan koymuşlar teli. Fanı oturtmak için 2 tel istiyor sadece.

Muy silencioso. Funciona perfecto.

２年ほど掃除もしてなかったのでそれも影響してると思いますが リテールクーラーからの交換で交換前よりも２０℃以上冷えました。 バックプレートからシッカリとＣＰＵに締め付けできて安くて大変良かったです。
