  • You know theres only so much you can say or write about heatpipe based CPU coolers these days. Really bad ones do not exist anymore. So from a decent design a manufacturer always need to move forward and improve its features and aesthetics. Cooler ...

  • Price, Excellent Cooling Performance, Dual fan capable out of the box, Very powerful stock fan, Backplate comes standard, Improved installation process (compared to other CM coolers)
  • Heatpipes are the smaller style, Relies on a 2000RPM fan for optimal performance, Questions over Fan specs, Single pressure point mount does allow twisting to happen, "Only" second best at high loads
  • It’s been one heck of a ride, but like all good things it has now come to its end. We hope you too walk away from this review as impressed as we are with the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. Its performance is among the best of the best while having everyt...

  • Uneven base...
  • From a strict performance outlook, the Hyper 212 Plus did alright not losing by much, so its not a bad cooler. However, I feel that with what it was compared to, it could have stood up a bit better even with 3°C variance in most of the tests. Still...

  • In the end I am left with a better product than the original in almost every way. While the 212 Plus doesn’t have the “coolness factor” of a twin tower design, it is still a formidable competitor to the market. The results we got were pr...

  • Excellent cooling performance, Stock PWM fan performs quietly and effectively, Costs under £20, Direct Touch feature, Compact to fit in any case, Compatibility with all popular socket types including LGA1156, Option for 2 fans,
  • Not the best cooler (harsh seeing as its priced so much lower than the other but I couldnt think of anything else wrong with it!)
  • Normally when I get a product to test, I get a first impression and with the Cooler Master, I held my reservations due to its surprisingly compact size. Upon looking more closely at the Direct Touch technology and the fan, I still was not sure as to w...

  • Prolima MegahalemsThere really is nothing to say about the Megahalems except for the fact that it is nothing short of exceptional. It performs to the highest standard and looks fantastic. It is not often that we test a product that can match the might...
