COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 120mm sleeve CPU Cooler

Comment:
This cooler keeps my CPU nice and cold even under heavy gaming! Make sure you check that it will fit your case before buying this cooler or you will be disappointed.Works great in a NZXT Hades, if you remove the side fan which isn't really needed with this cooler working.

on sale for 20 bucks, very good deal for a competent cooler. I bought it for my Core2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 to replace the Vendetta2. the fan that comes with it is very good, I set it to silent in the bios and added another 120mm 800rpm fan to pull so the whole setup is very quiet.The installation is easy compare to others I had to deal with in the past. the instruction is good enough. I didn't use the thermal compound, instead I used MX2. the surface is not smooth, the first time I didn't use enough so the contact is incomplete and the max temp were high around 63c. after reapplying the compound, this time thicker. I was able to lower the temp to 53c during load.the fans are attached using a clip system which is alot easier than other methods I've seen before.Realtemp and Prime95 at max heat.48c, 51c, 53c, 53c

I would buy this to replace the stock fan on any system. But only regular overclocking can be done with this fan. It's far more quiet than most CPU fans, also I got this onsale, only $20

This comes with all sorts of mounting hardware for every socket imaginable. It's fantastic. Easy to install the fans, especially compared to my OCZ vendetta 2. Comes with all the hardware to mount a second fan for even better cooling too.Adjusting the positioning of the pins is a pain however. You have to pull on the spring to get it to move, but the manual doens't really help explain that. I had to google it. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-08-10 03:11 PM

Bought this a couple days ago and installed it on a i5 760. The installation was extremely difficult and complicated as the instructions were absolutely horrible and it was my first build. For users who have already have experience installing heat sinks it would probably be fine, but without experience the instructions are almost useless.It is a lot bigger then I thought and is sort of ugly but in terms of performance, it is running very well. Running temperatures around 20 C idle w/o any over clocking. Good price and value

Installed to cool a AMD x2 555(unlocked)and is cooling about 5-7 degrees from stock on average. Nice looking unit.

Bought one today , installed for a Intel I5 760 cpuVery very good out looking, quiet and good coolingAlso i did put an extra fan on it , feel surprise i can put 2 things on a $20 value cpu heatink!Great cpu heatink!

Comment:
probably the best value after market cpu cooler.Cheap during sales. I managed to OC P2 925 stable to 3.6 Ghz!

Comment:
I had a very tough time installing this beast but in the end, it was worth it. Cools very effectively and got me a nice OC.

Comment:
Huge, large, gargantuan... ok ya see where I'm going. Run don't walk and buy one of these puppies, it rocks, and looks awesome too. Make sure you have lots of room because I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but it's really big.

Comment:
Bought this for my build. Works wonderfully, and cools it very well. Buy when it's on sale. It's sooo worth it!

Comment:
I bought this fan on sale at $19.99 upon the recommendation of one of my friends. For a first time build it didn't disappoint, it kept my computer cooler than if I had stayed with the stock cooler that came with my i5-760. All in all I am fairly happy with this purchase.

Comment:
I didnt expect coolermaste to have great products, since this is my first build. I didnt know anything about the heatsinks or water cooling. I bought this, because it is CHEAP. Oh well, it is much better than Intel fan for sure.

Comment:
I would buy this to replace the stock fan on any system. The installation is a bit rough the first time around but it's far more quiet than most CPU fans. Very good for the money!

All I can say is this cooler is amazing. It cools my non OC E8400 c 3ghz to 19c idle and well under 30c when loaded. The bad thing is the fan is blowing so strong my case sound like a jet engine. I had to adjust the fan to 60% to quiet it down. Right now running an OC'ed E8400 c 3.6 ghz well under 40c, loaded.

Comment:
Great fan. Fits nicely into the case without needing to figure out how to cut holes in the side. Dropped the CPU temps by 10 degrees C. You need to remove the CPU back plate which means you have to take the motherboard out of the case. I'm not sure if it's tight enough and haven't figured out if the little nut just above the CPU actually does anything if you turn it.

Comment:
For the price, you won't find anything better.While most reviews on the web mention that this heatsink have the mounting hardware for 939 or 940 CPUs, it does not. I bought the mounting hardware separately (hardware store) and it works like a charm.I have an Opteron 165 (dual core) 1.8Ghz OC to 2.4Ghz.Note: Ncix and CoolerMaster websites are up to date and have the correct information related to the socket compatibility.

I have an AMD phenom II 555 black edition overclocked to 4.2ghz and the hyper 212+ is keeping the temperatures around 26c at idle and 43c at load. Great product for it's price!

Comment:
Would prefer a nut on the CPU side that's attached to the CPU side tension plate. That way, the bolts can be screwed in from the underside of the motherboard using the included bolt "wrench" (which is a cylinder with a hexagonal bolt head shape drilled into it). This "wrench" needs grooves like thumbscrews for a better grip. Overall pretty good.

Comment:
heatsinks of this type are usually $40, $50, got this on sale for $20, works just as good as the expensive ones, the mounting works on many types of cpu's, and has clips to add on 2nd fan, for extra cooling, the stock fan is not good though, i would recommend getting a noctua or a nexus 120mm fan, and it would be excellent heatsink

Comment:
Are their better fans out there? Sure are...but are their fans this good for such a good price? Nope, I also have tosay everyone should have these babies, Well worth the money

Comment:
Brought my i7 950 temps from 50 (stock) to 36 idle and doesn't go above 60 after playing games and slight overclocking.Installation was very easy on Antec 300. Did not have to remove the motherboard because of cutout in the back. Fits well with space leftover for a side fan.Do yourself a favour and watch the youtube installation video because the included instructions are difficult to decipher.

Comment:
I have two Coolermaster R4-L2R-20AC-GP fans in a push pull and keeps my OCed i7 860 nice and cool.Sure, there is better coolers out there but you find anything better close to this price. It's a steal really.Make sure you have a big case because it takes up a lot of room. I have mine in an Antec 902 and it fits fine.

Comment:
Everyone should have one of these. You can't beat it for price. It's worth more than they charge by far.

I'm an overclocker. Here are my specs. I have an overclocked Phenom II B55 X4 at 3.5 ghz. 250 mhz at x14 multiplier. Stays great at between 30 - 40 c at full load. Raise it to 250 mhz and it goes past 40 c to around 50 c.I hope this helps considering my specs and fan direction...
