  • Abstract:  Heatpipe coolers have become pretty common place by now and just about every cooler manufacturer has a selection of coolers with heatpipes these days. Cooler Master has just launched its latest model, the Hyper 212 and we’ve taken one out for a spin...

  • Hmm interesting. I must admit, I like the Hyper 212. This CoolerMaster product brings a lot on the table for little money. Noise levels are good, performance is really good, the looks are just fine and the pricing is really okay isnt it ? So all the ...

  • Absolutely silent, Fast installation, 2Fan expandability, Mirrorfinished base
  • Inflexible installation, Moderate performance
  • The Hyper 212 seems to be a great cooler for mid-range users who want to replace the stock solution, but wont be changing many things in their computers as time goes on. There are a number of things that would get in the way if you are an enthusiast a...

  • I touched on the word ‘excited’ earlier, or lack thereof. This is where the Cooler Master Hyper 212 sits at. It is a solid cooler with great acoustics but it brings little to the table to make me jump for joy. In all honesty I think the fact t...

  • 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...

  • RGB lighting looks great, Lighting is easy to configure with in-line remote, Very easy to install, Arrives with brackets and fan splitter to add a second fan, Good price, Quiet cooling

  • Quiet performance, Bargain price, Looks awesome installed, Easy to install, All the extras you need to add a second fan
  • Nickel plating peeled off the base
  • Searching for a CPU cooler around the £30 mark will find you hundreds of options, most of which will likely look similar to the Hyper 212 but may not perform any better than the stock cooler that came with the CPU. However, that's firmly not the case with...
