  • Will not clear taller system memory, Could use a more powerful fan,
  • There are a lot of CPU coolers on the market these days. Some stick around for a few months while others stand the test of time. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 design is one of those gems that has a huge cult following and actually delivers on its promise. O...

  • Good price-to-performance ratio, Simple installation, Improvement over previous Hyper 212 coolers,
  • Underperforms compared to similar Cooler Master products
  • Priced slightly above the RGB version, the Hyper 212 Black Edition with a Silencio fan appeals to low-noise builds while not fully living up to that moniker. High-wattage CPUs and/or extreme overclocking will likely push this cooler beyond its cooling lim...

  • Cooler Master has topped my charts again in both looks and performance with their new CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition. I was able to achieve a 4.7GHz on my toasty 8700K and still stay under 90c during the Prime95 test. This is a feat that no o...

  • While not much new has been accomplished in terms of lower temperatures over the original designs, the functionality and flexibility has certainly been improved on the Hyper 212 Plus and TX3 coolers. The new fan clips are a big improvement, providing a...

  • With what I have found, the hyper 212 is an excellent addition to the air cooling market. Xigmatek is considered one of the best on the market, and to only loose out by one degree is quite admirable. Looks like Cooler Master is on to something with sp...

  • No backplate for motherboard, Might hit case, depending on the case
  • The Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler is a powerful cooler. It was the best CPU cooler that weve tested with this setup. Even without the second fan it still performed better. I think it has to do mainly with the two heatsink design with four heatpi...
