CoolerMaster Hyper212 Dual-Fan CPU Cooler Review

Dashken · 19th Apr 2008, 06:54 PM

The CoolerMaster Hyper212 is a new heatpipe-based CPU cooler that's compatible with virtually all current Intel and AMD motherboards. It's designed around four heatpipes radiating from a copper base up to a large block of aluminium fins.

What's unique about the Hyper212 is the fact that it's designed to accept two fans for improved performance. The second fan is optional, of course, but is recommended for optimal performance.

For more information and to find out just how cool the CoolerMaster Hyper212 is, read our Comprehensive Review!

Thanks to Adrian for his hard work on getting my first review up here and also to Chaos as in the article for providing me with this cooler to review

This cooler is now the cooler in my main machine and very pleased with it ... the Katana2 is on a Northwood Celeron in my other machine

At what point doe these CPU Coolers become so large/heavy that they are putting undue stress/bending of the motherboard?
Bigger/heaver has to reach a point of diminishing returns as to bending of the motherboard.

Well, it would be much better if tested on both platforms

Intel and AMD. Was considering this HSF before i decided on the Xigmatek S1283

Actually the Katana2 and Hyper212 are no heavier than the Silentpipe coolers on my chipset. The Gigabyte mobo also has a lot of spaces for standoffs and screws I am using all of them to distribute weight properly.

Well there are revisions on articles here and I may just do that if I get an AMD CPU and mobo here. Another thing I may do as well is increase voltages because all my stuff is brand new I didn't want to mess with them at the time of this review. I didn't want to burn up a 1000 bucks worth of hardware to review a 30 dollar cooler lol

And thanks ChampionLLY

I have one of these coolers and am using it with a Q6600@3.0ghz quad core. Under 100% load Everest shows my core temps ranging between 46c and 48c, and about 35c at idle.

710g is not exactly that heavy.
