CoolerMaster Hyper212 Dual-Fan CPU Cooler Review - Page 2

I have a Thermaltake Tower 112 someone gave me that weighs 4lbs. I was afraid to use it for fear it would snap the motherboard in two.

A pretty neat cooler from Cooler Master. They're improving in the air cooling department.

By the way, what was your ambient temperature? And I find it surprising that the fans would be quiet, especially running at 2000 RPM with a rating of 69CFM! :O

Ambient temperatures are in all the graphs OCCT remains idle for 1 minute before stressing the CPU (22C stock and 26C overclocked with 2 fans). I don't think the fans even needed to go to 1000 rpm during the tests and they idle around 500 - 600 during normal operation.

EDIT: Oops you said ambient temp I thought you meant idle lol ... my ambient idle temp is 22C and never rose above 26C during the tests sorry need more coffee its early here lol

Oh I see, the motherboard must have regulated the fan speed according to the temperature of the processor then. Pretty cool since the fan isn't a 4 pin PWM one. I think you should mention somewhere that the fan wasn't spinning at 2000 RPM though, since it's kinda misleading for those looking for silence when their own motherboards can't control 3-pin fans.

I'm guessing that's why the temperature difference between the stock cooler and the CM Hyper 212 wasn't that big too. If the fan was realling running at 2000 RPM that would be w00ts..

It wasn't unless BIOS and Everest were lying to me

And if it was I couldn't hear it over my Arctic Cooling case fans so its negligible ... unfortunately the noise level of the stock cooler and the fan on my 9600gt aren't

Thanks

Runs very cool here and not really that expensive. All cooling solutions don't need to cost an arm and a leg
