COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:Not the most clear instructions

Pros:Very efficient and quiet cooling
Comment:
Spend a good hour trying to understand how to install it. Didn't realize the bracket was suppose to go on the back side of the motherboard since the instructions didn't say anything about flipping the board around. Otherwise than that hiccup, the install went smooth and easy. It is also very quiet and very effective cooling.

Comment:
I've owned several 212+... it's cheaper and was quieter, and cooler than this... EVO cost more and performed worst.. guess I got a bad one from the batch

I have the 212+ as well. This runs cooler and quieter than it's older brother. I definitely recommend this over the 212 Plus.

Cons:Large, not truly a con.

Pros:Easy to install.Comes with extra fan clips and rubber noise dampers for a second 120mm.Quiet.
Comment:
I can't really think of a con for this product, except its large. Which you pretty well know when you purchase it.For the price, its a great quiet air cooler. Especially for mid level overclocks.

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:none so far

Pros:Easy InstallationEasily add a 2nd fanPrice
Comment:
Easy to install in minutes, had to install the fan in a "pull" position in order to have sufficient room for my Hyper Beast Ram.Comes with an extra fan clip, so you could have 2 fans cooling the unit, can easily adjust the fan clip in order to clear ram on the right side, I just went with one fan.A great cheap alternative until I get my custom loop built.Would recommend, keeps everything cool

Cons:None

Pros:Great Cooler for Price Point
Comment:
For the price can't ask much more of this cooler. Bought it when idle and load temps with my stock cooler were a little higher then I was comfortable with, has done a great job keeping things cooler.

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:Very Tall, go over nearest memory slot, hard to install, not fixed strongly

Pros:Better than stock heatsink, low price
Comment:
It's a good heatsink for the price, but i can't rate it 5 star because you can tilt it after the install so you must be careful to not scrap your thermal coumpound application. Performance wise, its better than stock but you will not be able to do super-overclocking. 4.5 GHz on my 2600K seem too much heatwise for that heatsink. (going over 90). But i still find it better than stock heatsink at stock speed since temps and noise are lower. Also, be carefull, this heatsink is very tall and also it will go over the nearest memorybank on your motherboard so don't buy memory with a tall heatsink.

Cons:Installation is a bit tricky and the instructions are vague.

Pros:Quiet and keeps the CPU nice and cool
Comment:
Bought this to replace an Arctic Freezer 7 with a dead fan. Works as it should. Quiet. Installation was somewhat tricky, mostly due to unclear instructions. Great product.

Amazing cooling for only $30. There's no reason to use stock cooler even if you aren't overclocking.

Comment:
Bought this to replace a Scythe Ninja 90mm cooler on my utility rig. I liked it so much I bought another for my man cave box. Runs a good 7-10 degrees colder than the old cooler and is quieter to boot thanks to the 120mm fan. Got them on sale too, for less than I paid for the Ninja. Sweet deal!

Cons:none so far

Pros:Cheap and somewhat easy to installCools well
Comment:
For the price this is the best heatsink out there. It's large 140mm fan makes it much quieter than the stock intel heatsink. I have my core i5 4670k overclocked to 4.2GHz and with a 30 degree ambient temperature I am still around 60 degrees under full load. This is an exceptional cooler or I just got a good CPU:)

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:Rather tedious installation

Pros:SilentEffective coolingThermal paste included
Comment:
This one works. There isn't really much else to say. It's definitely bigger and better than the stock heat sinks. However, there are heat sinks (more expensive) with better performance and easier installation. Still, at $29.99, it's hard to beat this one. If you are spending less than $300 on your CPU, this will suffice.

Comment:
-Awesome for the price-trouble with high profile RAM(especially when you need to use all 4 RAM slots)

Cons:The thermal past was quite dried up when I received it.

Would buy it again. Installation was easy and quick (if you have the board out already!). Sound is a lot less than the standard cooler I was using before.

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:none i can see

Pros:Easy to install, price, weight, silent
Comment:
Originally had the stock intel heatsink with my 3770k and it made an annoying whinny noise while running. Could always hear it while the computer was on. I wouldn't classify it as loud but much more noise than i had hoped for on my first build. I did just recently build an htpc with an intel fan and its very quiet so it may have just been bad luck. Either way i didn't want any noise. I have it in an Fractal R4 and one reason i bought that case was for the sound deadening it provides. More concerned with quiet than temps, but as my processor can get pretty hot a bit extra cooling can only be a good thing. I did look at water cooling, but that seemed like overkill and much more expensive.My main point: this thing is dead silent in my case. I can't hear anything which is exactly what i wanted. So its a great buy at a great price. Highly recommended.

Cons:None, it does what it is suppose to do.Instructions could be better.

Pros:Better than stock heatsinkRelatively cheap if on sale
Comment:
This is a no-frills heatsink, it is cheap and performs better than a stock heatsink. If you are building a new computer and you aren't sure if you should get a aftermarket heatsink, buy this. It is quieter than a stock heatsink and it performs better.

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
Cons:6 cores/12 threads seems a little bit too much for this.

Pros:not bad on LGA 2011, 3930k, it cools it down a little bit better than other HSF. and compared to when cooling other CPU's.
Comment:
tried it with 3930k, it was OK when stock clocks, but OC it with this HSf, wont do much, unless you add another fan I expect it would do a really better job.

Comment:
The installation mechanism could be better but it's still rather easy. Aside from that, this is probably the best value/budget cooling option. It's much better and quieter than most stock heatsinks.

Cons:Worst installation instructions ever

Pros:Good price & quality
Comment:
As noted in other reviews, the installation instructions are almost worthless but if you are mechanically inclined, you can make it through. The fan will touch my Corsair Vengence ram if I install a stick in the nearest slot on my ASUS P8Z77-V Pro motherboard. Great unit otherwise.

Comment:
bought this to use instead of stock cooler that came with my i7. fits nicely even in my SFF case and still room for ram with high heatsinks. so far it's doing a great job keeping my cpu cool.

Pros:Good price. Performs nicely. Doesn't block the P4 power connector like my old scythe ninja 2 did.
Comment:
Works nicely. Good price. It was a bit of a pain to install on my Asus motherboard as the cooler's backplate had to balance on some bolt on the motherboard. Installation still wasn't too bad considering.
