Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Review

box

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED ships in a familiar-looking box. A large image of the LED fan is visible from the front.

instructions warranty

Inside, there is both the installation manual and a multi-lingual warranty guide.

screws backplate-alone

All the installation hardware comes in one large bag, though the parts required are clearly labelled in the manual so it is not an issue.

A backplate is also included.

heatsink copper-pipes

The heatsink itself ships with the fan pre-installed, presumably to save space, but it does have to be removed before installation.

The 212 LED utilises four copper heatpipes, each with a 6mm diameter. The heatsink also supports an extra fan to use in a push/pull configuration – extra clips are included with the mounting hardware.

  1. Shame you didn’t have the chance to compare the new 212 with the older model and see how it they performed against one another

  2. funny how its not compatable with am4 boards as thats only around the corner

  3. You can bet the farm,that once am4 becomes available-there will eventually be a 212 to fit.
    212 probably best selling cooler ever is not going to miss out on am4 market………………….

  4. i have one in my machine at the moment

  5. Hello there. How does it compare noise wise to the i32?

    How does it perform relative to it’s bro, the 212 Evo? I read somewhere that this performs worse than the Evo because of the direct contact pipes being 5mm apart? Is it true? How do I go around this.
