Abstract: When it comes to the Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, I will not be changing its scoring, mainly the one area that really hurts this CPU is the (again) the mounting. Trying to hold onto a retention plate insert the retention plates nuts while at the same time try to screw on the motherboard/retention plate..
Good performance, AMD and Intel Compatibility, Brackets for second fan
Instructions/installation not very clear
Whenever I see a product that uses the same name but has a 'plus' or a 'II' used, I usually assume there are some minor changes made to the original. This really isn't the case with the Hyper 212 Plus, as the changes made are rather su...
Excellent Cooling Characteristics, 4 Direct Contact Copper HeatPipes, 120mm Fan w/Optional Second Fan, Asymmetrical Design,
Fans are somewhat noisy when over 1500 RPM, HI Tech Legion Gold Award
The Hyper 212 Plus impressed me in most respects. The performance was better than I had anticipated, the mounting was easy and versatile and the documentation was clear. I also liked the fact that the unit had a smaller footprint with only one fan, all...
Light, small footprint, Kept the i7 860 overclocked over 40% at under 60C, Silent running, Will accommodate a second fan if desired, Innovative mounting hardware “one size fits all”, Under $30,
None
As this is the first cooler I’ve had that would accommodate LGA 1156, I really had nothing to compare this cooler with. I also really don’t know how hot the i7 860 (95 watts) gets compared to the LGA 1366 i7 920 (130 watts). The i7 920 is a ve...
H.D.T technology, Easy installation, Antivibration fan mounts, Excellent Price / Performance ratio
Has clearance issues with some NB coolers, Fan a little louder than expected at idle
It’s hard to find much to gripe about with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. It offers far superior cooling to the stock Intel cooler, is compatible with all current AMD and Intel setups, is relatively easy to install, and even offers upgra...
The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is a strong mid-range CPU cooler. It has enough power to cool everything from a low wattage AM2 to hot i7 beast. With one fan it showed a nice improvement over the stock cooler and with a pair I have no doubt that it wo...
Abstract: If you need a cooler for your new 1156 Core i5/i7 CPU, we recommend both the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and the Hyper TX3. Each of these are impressive and up to task, and while each have their differences, both are great products and deserve serious consideration for your purchase shortlist. ..
I have to admit that the overall impression from the coolers we tested today is somewhat pessimistic. These cooling solutions do not represent anything new in technological aspect, their design doesn’t offer anything innovative, they can’t boast unprec...
Great performance, Can install 2 cooling fans, solid construction, Universal processor support
As most of you already know you're never given a second chance to make a first impression and when it comes to computer hardware you will know almost immediately if you like something or not. Well our impressions of the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus st...
