@shadowsun4386 Hi, I would recommend applying the thermal grease on the CPU only , applying paste on both CPU and heat sink could get a bit messy and would not be as efficient
@GuyonthaBlock thanks i put my whole computer together quite a while ago, I figured it would be too much of a mess to put it on both so i just put it on the cpu
@limedesign2 If I remember correctly it's 168mm high so I highly doubt it will fit. I think you will need a case of at least 205mm wide just to get it in, It fits in my Antec 300 perfectly if that's any help to you..
@VisualPrefection Hexacore phenoms use the AM3 socket, which is also what the X4 Phenom uses. The 212 is indeed compatible with the AM3 socket, so you may in fact cool your hexacore with this. Enjoy!
Hey if my am3 motherboard already has like the plastic notches where the cooler goes do i still need to put the ones that come with this on to apply this cooler?
@lentyski dont worry man. you get the thermal paste with it and all you do is apply a little dab in the middle of your cpu chip and spread it across with a buisness card. you dont use all of the paste either. also when removing your old cpu cooler it might be stuck with your old paste so turn it left and right gently to break the seal. dont pull straight up or u will bend the pins. anyhow i installed myn 3 days ago its way eaiser then it looks just take it slonw
The hyper 212 & hyper 212 plus are two different products. This original model has a copper plate which you can see at 1:24 while on plus all the pipes meet so there are a lot of cracks/fault lines making it annoying to put on paste. I don't think it cools as well, so if you have a x4 or above get the one with the copper. Nothing else on this cooler is copper, just orange painted junk. The plus tries to make up for being cheap, including a bracket for 2nd 120mm fan, for push + pull with 2 120mms
This is the old installation hardware for the Hyper 212. If you have a newer Hyper 212 that does not include the old flat AMD mounting bracket for the back of the motherboard be sure to check out a newer video.
u shoulda remove the sticker just before installing the cooler and do not ever spread the compound over the cpu surface with a card just put some compound on the center and press the cooler on it. that way the contact between cpu and cooler is much better resulting in better cooling performance.
@cankarales I disagree highly with your statement about not using a card. The idea is to get an even and COMPLETE surface covering of thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. By simply placing a clump in the middle there is no way to tell if the surface of the CPU and the heatsink are completely covered. I used to use the old method your talking about and after taking them apart you will see that it is an unevenly spread area. Some areas won't even get any thermal paste at all.
@sh4rkbyt3 okay maybe your right i have never did any of this so i can't be the smart one here. but i watched a demonstration video where that guy had some cpu's and tested the spreading of thermal compound over the surface with different methods by putting a piece of clear acrylic over it. and as far as i know the card spreading was worst option... but i don't know..
ether way most of coolers you can buy these days have the compound pre-applied so you don't have to worry about that :)
@cankarales "okay maybe your right i have never did any of this", then why give advice on something that could potentially be disastrous to a new builder? I'm not raking you over the coals here, I just don't understand why someone would attempt to give advice to others that your a) not sure about and b) you have little to no experience in yet you offer it as authoritative? Ask any pro builder and they will 9 out of 10 times want it spread evenly rather than to glop it on and hope for the best.
@cankarales And you cannot tell if you have enough or not simply by doing the blind method your talking about. I've seen people use this way and get a tiny spot of thermal paste on the side of the CPU which made contact in a socket hole and fried both their mobo and their proccy! It does happen and that's exactly why you need to pre-spread the thermal compound!!
This thing is a fucking monster, but I am getting it :P... Too bad it doesn't fit perfectly in an antec 900 case, gona do some modifications. So cheap too, perfect for an overclocker who doesn't just go insane with their overclocks.
GEEZE THAT THING IS HUGE!!! You could kill a guy with that....if you wanted to, that is....not that I would ever recommend it....um.....so, yeah....BYE!
when they will learn to make smaller and efficient coolers? and come on no one should mount a cooler with the fan direct to the inside of the case, it should direct towards outside the case to blow the hot air outside the case, in the way the video shows up its blowing hot air against the memories
@eldaguinio Could be worse - I've read the included fan gets up to 16-17 db at 12v. You can replace it very easily with any fan of the same size - you can even add a second fan in a push/pull configuration with a second included set of wire clips or brackets.
@gabeherb345 just remove the fan and set to the another side, its not wise to blow hot air inside the case, and its not really blocked that way, have enough space to install the memories the way the video demonstrates, but its the wrong way
hm, i cant find the place i found it for 25 dollars. guess it's a bargain indeed. anyway i found that bargain on an online shop yesterday, so if you spend some time searching, you'll probably get there soon enough.
So you figured us out. You are the last human being in existence. You are in an earth-like simulator so we can re-create the earth as it was before the 2012 disaster that killed all the humans except you.
:P I survived because I was the smartest who knew that the only way to survive a nuclear blast is by riding a unicorn directly into the explosion. No one believed me...

yes it would but lol it took me like 1 hour i am 13 i just started making computers i had stock amd fan and am2 mother board i took it aout and put it in it should fit nicly
It looks larger than I expected, I have a feeling im going to have to replace my case's side fan in order to fit this.
