Product Tour: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve CPU Cooler

[hstings543]

also compat with the 2011 socket

[JEHERETIC]

Do intel Processors multitask better than AMD? my Phenom ii 550 black does not multitask very well just transfering data from one hdd to another slows it down I can only transfer one item at a time and slowly use the net while doing so, I dont remember my old pentium D's being even this sluggish... Any comments would help, any info even better I am thinking of going from 550 black with 4 gigs ddr3 1333 to celeron g530 sandy bridge z68 set up..

[JaoquinQ]

@JEHERETIC amd works better for multi-core processing like graphics. For gaming there is very little difference as the graphics card takes the blunt of any work.

[globalcorey]

So this will work on a LGA socket 1155?

[mcgreen0803]

@globalcorey yes

[globalcorey]

@mcgreen0803 Thank you good sir.

[Frezzy465]

@globalcorey Yeah. After he said the heatsink's compatible with a LGA socket 1156, he explained that the LGA socket 1155 is equally compatible with 1156, so the heatsink with work that socket.

0:32

[buzz9961]

@globalcorey yes

[demonsparkx]

how much better will this be then, the stock AMD X4 640 stock cooler?

[vBDKv]

@demonsparkx A lot. I have the smaller version (Hyper TX3) and at max load it comes up to 42c. With the stock heatsink it can go up to 54c at full load. And since the 212P is a much better cooler than the TX3 you can expect some very nice temps. Just remember to get some good quality thermal paste as well. I recommend Arctic MX-2.

[demonsparkx]

@vBDKv oh sweet! im using the stock cooler obviously, and idle 0-20% loads itll run as high as 109F sometimes. under 100% load it maxes as much as 130F at times. still safe but really, just too hot. im going to buy the 212 + this coming month for my build,and yeah i hear alot of people like artic thermal paste's. thansk for the info

[vBDKv]

@demonsparkx Of course if you don't want to remove your motherboard or if you don't have clearance for the 212 in your case, just get the TX3. It's far better than stock in both cooling and noise ;)

[demonsparkx]

@vBDKv i have the CM Elite 430 black edition, mid size tower its quite large, and a guy i talked to says the 212 + fits fine. ill check that one out as well, if all else fails id just buy the tx3 if the 212 gives me any problems. there cheap items so i dont mind lol. thanks again

[Sandolechi]

Does it block RAM slots on 1155 motherboards?

[Coxy13131]

@Sandolechi shouldnt

[adsfasdkjfh]

@Sandolechi if you want to use two fans on your heatsink you'll need to use low-profile ram.

[44971719785648751978]

My Split Fish cpu cooler looks exactly the same. O.o

[masterchief3k]

@44971719785648751978 split fish? best buy's rocketfish however, i know of that one being a copy of this hyper 212.

[44971719785648751978]

@masterchief3k

Your right, I got the name wrong. But anyways, It works just as good only with 3 heat pipes. I had to add a fan to help cool it tho.

[gdialpha]

the hyper 212 is an excellent cpu cooler however i perfer water cooling

[MrLukefishy]

basic stuff



[masmotors]

i have this in push pull cooling a piix4 840 @3.5 and its cool next is liquid cooling but im a noob at that and love this cooler

[afrotcdet035]

does anyone know would the Hyper 212+ fit in the Rosewill Challenger case? and would it block the memory RAM port on the MOBO?

[IrritatedFlower]

@afrotcdet035 Just in case you're still wondering, I have the same case and it fits fine.

[afrotcdet035]

@IrritatedFlower thanks. does it block the memory RAM port?

[IrritatedFlower]

@afrotcdet035 Nope.



[masterchief3k]

@afrotcdet035 lol memory ram

[Tobiash87]

There is no competition for Thermaltake Contac 29. Price/performance KING! Hell it is better than twice and more expensive coolers.

[IILowDownII]

Paul, the only girl that I like doesn't like me back. I need some advice :(

[brianawesome100]

@IILowDownII EASY

move on and dont dwell over it

[bogdan19902]

@IILowDownII go ask ur mom or ur dad XD paul ain`t ur personal guru

[Minecraft4u1]

@IILowDownII Unless there is a piece of software to help you with that, you won't find help here.

[Mudux]

@IILowDownII buy an iPad, bitches love apple

[demonsparkx]

@Mudux LMAO, these comments ^_^

[seals9121]

very good review, thx

[deltora11]

will this cooler work with the intel core i7 3960k lga2011?

[ArcticInfinity]

@deltora11 No it won't as it does not come with the proper mounting hardware.

[RockIsNoMyth]

W00T I got 100th comment.

[ImJeffyyyXD]

can this cooler be paired with the phenom II X6 1100T?? someone please respond

[oHaiinexD]

@ImJeffyyyXD yes it can

[ambi3nttech]

@ImJeffyyyXD Just look at the CPU socket, if it's compatible then they will work together.

[iBobotastic]

@ImJeffyyyXD Yes he said in the video.

[fsxflyer2009]

I want to see Paul meet Logan from Tigerdirect??!!!!

[noobatnothing]

Paul, I love you.... No Homo.

[Ginounknown]

i have this on top of my dual core CPU, A DUAL CORE!!! im disappointed...., cools it down really good this will let you overclock, i overclocked mine from 2.6 to 3.4GHz

[oConshien]

is there a tut on the other bracket? the second one:)

[ConnorJohnGriffin]

Mine is extremely loud and rattles a lot when I get above 1500 RPM. Is anybody else having this issue?

[itashiu]

support amd fx bulldozer?

[BludSworn]

@itashiu Yep

[sonicboomish]

For shterters.

[EgyptUnderGroundArmy]

Paul...

[southport97]

Just a heads up.. This cooler will NOT decrease your idle over your stock cooler. It will however drop the load temps down a bit. It's mostly for people that leave their computer overclocked.

[Bladeworkssystems]

@southport97 Actually.. it will. lower temps at load i nturn result in over all lower temps..

(i have a 4.5GHZ i5 2500k puurin my case at 33C)

[BorisGaquere]

@Bladeworkssystems did you use the thermal paste that came with it or did you buy a separate one

[Bladeworkssystems]

@BorisGaquere I used Arctic cooling MX-4

[BorisGaquere]

@Bladeworkssystems Thanks for the quick reply. any chance you know how that compares to arctic silver 5? they're both the same price so just wondering if i should be preferential to either

[Bladeworkssystems]

@BorisGaquere Arctic silver 5, frankly is out dated.. just about any modern stuff will proove to have higher results.. here are some that are better.: Arctic cooling MX-4, OCZ Freeze, Gelid GC extreme, prolimatech PK-1, thermalright chill factor 3, IC caret diamond 7, and the best on the market is Indigo Xtreme

[BorisGaquere]

@Bladeworkssystems gonna go to the store in a few hours and see which of these they have. again thanks for the reply

[Bladeworkssystems]

@BorisGaquere Look for OCZ Freeze, this is the cheapest. and the one's i mentioned are all as good as eachother... pick any one and ur fine..

[MrShnuggleMuffins]

@Foxifiednutjob PAUL BITCH

[mangowarrior]

Is the thermal paste that comes with this heatsink any good or should I put some arctic silver 5 instead

[emxte]

@mangowarrior It's fine.

[FoxifiedNutjob]

Could NewEgg have found anyone else with such a boring, drab, and dry personality as this guy? I mean where did they find this guy? Must be the son of a NE executive or something.

Jesus, my ears are bleeding and I'm getting sleepy....

[TheHaxis]

@FoxifiedNutjob I can't tell if you're serious or not, but hell, if you are, you're gonna get your ass handed to you by the Paul Fan-base.

[MrDemonicTwinky]

AM3+ is completely compatible with AM3.

Cooler Master has updated their product page on their website with the following:

AMD Socket:

FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2

[absoluteblkade3]

Will this fit in an AM3+ Socket?

[12me91]

*reads comments*

it doesnt say it will work on am3+, but it will? wat. does the newegg website/coolermaster just not list it?

[TheZenSpyder]

@12me91 Go on Newegg.com and type in Cooler Master Hyper 212 and there will be another fan option under this one, same thing except it fits Am3+ I'm pretty sure. it's $34.99 so it's a little bit more expensive.

[cyclop41]

my socket is AMD AM3+, will this be compatible??? anyone?

[SpringfieldGarand]

@cyclop41 Yes, It's compatible.

[GamersCanGame]

would this be good on rendering videos with the i5 2500k how cool is it with a .1ghz oc

[Squa7ch]

@GamersCanGame 100MHz overclock lol...yeah because that's going to give you any sort of performance increase.

[GamersCanGame]

@Squa7ch well im picky about my ghz i prefer 3.2 solid or 3.4 solid

[GamersCanGame]

@Squa7ch well im picky about my ghz i prefer 3.2 solid or 3.4 solid

[blizzaroxx]

Why would this be private D:

[varnlestoff]

Does anyone know if this will fit on a P67A mobo?

[DigitalHailStorm]

@varnlestoff It should fit since the motherboard is LGA 1155 and the Hyper 212 is compatible with all Sandy Bridge (As far as I know) CPUs.

[varnlestoff]

So this will keep an i5 2500 @3.4 - 3.6 adequately cool?

[TeamAwesomeProd]

@varnlestoff i've got the 2500k and don't even have this yet and the CPU runs at perfectly normal 40-50 C (no OC). If you're not going to OC then don't even bother with something aftermarket (despite the extremely low price for this heatsink).

[DigitalHailStorm]

@varnlestoff I have the 2500k with the stock cooler, OC'd a very slight amount by 0.2, my friends use this heatsink and they constantly get temps from 28-35C with a Ambient Temp of 24 C

[jleack]

Does the weight of this thing pose a problem? Also, how does it compare to an H70/H80 for a stock AMD 965? Thanks to any who reply!

[Con7ent]

Good review. This fellow's voice reminds me of the Comic Book Store guy from the Simpsons :D

[EmmanuelGoldstein198]

Please provide the link within your video description text to the extensive Cooler Master video you mention in your video. YouTube doesn't allow links in comments, otherwise I'd post it myself.

[YORK1pc]

"if you can understand the words I'm saying right now you probably just need the english section" Paul you're a legend.

[NinjaBasilisk]

Will it fit AM3+ or is AM3+ the same as AM3?

[awesomepers0n]

@NinjaBasilisk yes

[Vlatce01]

@NinjaBasilisk Yes, it will.

[puReeRicKK]

Pain in my dickhole that I have to take off my mobo to install this :l but.. ITS WORTH IT :D

[brandonr717]

would this fan leave enough clearance for Corsair Vengeance memory

[Geitir]

@brandonr717

apparently if you move the fan bracket up by a few centimeters it will have enough clearance but it's a close call

[o0oK1LLERo0o]

@Geitir I hope so because I just bough this and I have vengeance.

[Rubes2525]

Are AM3 CPU coolers compatible with AM3+ sockets?

[kaluawa5555]

@Rubes2525 yes.

[Vlatce01]

@Rubes2525 Yes, they are

[omega9761]

will this fit on a Foxconn a88gmv am3 motherboard

[CopyrightPropaganda]

As an addendum, temperatures Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.6 GHz, stock voltage stick around 40C idle, and never goes above 50C. This This is pretty impressive, given the crappy temperature New York has at the moment.

[CopyrightPropaganda]

This is the heatsink you're looking for. It works by being massive as fuck.

[murrayniallthamas]

Just to sort the confusion out, this is a great HSF.

I have built many PC using this HSF and it out preform coolers twice the price.

It's not far behind the likes of noctua or the be thermaltake frio in terms of power.

It also leaves the first slot free on most motherboards for the taller ram, unlike a lot of other heatsinks. Anybody that says it doesn't work either put it on arse ways or the sensors heat sensors are faulty.

[Rp707]

newegg sent me here

[DrMonster1993]

This product is overpriced at the momment.. had to go to amazon to buy it for much better price.

[ehhhhhhhhhh]

Wow, I think my case is somewhere between 0 and 1mm too thin. Fuck.

[ToxicFlyman]

Will this work with intel i7 2600k sandy bridge??

[daveyt88]

Seriously, WTF?! This cooler CPU doesn't support Phenom II X6??

[thebeetalls]

@daveyt88 of course it does lol. any socket am2/am3 cpu will work.

[ToxicFlyman]

@thebeetalls Will this work with intel i7 2600k sandy bridge??

[thebeetalls]

@ToxicFlyman yes. This cooler will work with all LGA 1366/1156/1155(sandy bridge)/775, am2/am2+/am3/am3+ processors.

[Sinochu]

@daveyt88 What are you talking about? Coolers work by socket type not CPU, so it will work w/ a Phenom II X6 because those are AM3 CPUs.

[daveyt88]

@Sinochu nvm, I thought wrong because I don't see Phenom II X6 on that box's list lol..

[NBGCUSTOMS]

@daveyt88 It doesn't? Are you sure? I was JUST about to buy it... Now I'm reading this... You just saved my 30 bucks my friend, thank you :)

[wooterz]

@NBGCUSTOMS It does work, why wouldn't it?

[NBGCUSTOMS]

@wooterz I don't know, I'm a newbie at this stuff.

[wooterz]

@NBGCUSTOMS It'll work just fine if that CPU uses the AM3 socket, which it does.

[NBGCUSTOMS]

@wooterz K, I hate reading that one stray comment saying, "Doesn't work! Don't buy it!" and then newbies like me don't know if it's for real or if he's just a newbie like myself. I'll get it eventually, Thanks man :)

[Sodisna]

@NBGCUSTOMS You'll love. Don't mind the people who doesn't know what they're talking about.

[Supermuncher85]

This fan does not have any paste on it, therefore you must add it yourself. I used my own paste Arctic silver 5 (AS5) so I don't know how the packaged one works. I can say though that putting a rice grain size amount was certainly NOT the way to go with AS5. AS5 has a sticky consistency and needs to be spread over the CPU. I used an old credit card to spread a thing layer over the entire CPU. With the result of having a 30c under load with a 50% overclock. This cooler rocks! Beware it's tall!

[blackfuse27]

why does shit lag so much, but anyways, I'm new to building computers, I already ordered this Fan along with a i5 intel sandy bridge, yet I have no clue how to use thermal glue. can someone show me how?

[venomblade891]

@blackfuse27 Well i'm pretty sure the cpu and/or hsf(heatsink and fan) comes with thermal paste on it already, but if they don't just put a rice grain size amount on to the cpu and then put down the hsf and let the pressure spread it out by itself.

[PicklesReallySuck]

With this thing I get as low as 26 C idle temp on my 2600k. I've never seen it go above 54, even while playing games like BF:BC2. It's a very good heatsink.

[intelsilver]

Don't you just love Newegg?

[MoonOvIce]

Hi, I have a HAF 912 which is a mid-tower...I also have a micro ATX board (MSI 880gm e-41) with a GTS 250 taking a lot of space and 4gb ram (normal sticks, they don't have huge heatsinks or anything)...

Has anybody tried this cooler with that case? would it be a tight fit? would it not fit at all? is this made only for full-towers?

[BananaBean03]

@MoonOvIce dont worry bro itll fit.

[Nfioresi]

how tall is this thing? looks to be ~5 -6 inches?

[n310ea]

Zalman CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

[heyitsfreddy]

thanks for making this review, i am thinking about getting this for my AMD Athlon II X4 640 Quad-Core. I am running programs that require the CPU to run above 70% most of the time and the CPU temperature is around 55 [C] most of the time.

Should I get this CPU cooler?

[getignited114]

@heyitsfreddy Give me a week and I'll let ya know. Mine will ship out either mon or tue.

[MoonOvIce]

@heyitsfreddy With stock cooler? that's good, I'm afraid to play certain games (Mass Effect) for too long because the CPU reaches 56c and it worries me a little...

And Mass Effect only uses around 40% or less most of the time.

[Abraksas112]

@MoonOvIce 56c is no problem at all. AMD's can take up to around 70c.

[MoonOvIce]

@Abraksas112 Yeah, that's what Coretemp says TJ Max of 70c but usually AMD say that it can only take up to 62c and others say that anything beyond 65c is dangerous...

I tried to play Mass Effect again and during certain fights it goes up to 61c!

I have to get a new cooler around Next Week and this is the one I want...

[Abraksas112]

@MoonOvIce Heard and read a couple of times that 70c is max 'safe' temp and anything beyond that is dangerous. But ok, to be honest, 61c would worry me too. But that's mostly because I don't trust my stock cooler (which will be replaced next week). Still, the stock cooler (being kinda old and quite dusty) does his job quite good by keeping my CPU under 60c. But I have to say that I have a big case with 5 case fans (3 240mm and 2 120mm) Does help a bit ;)

But I think you shouldn't need to worry.

[Abraksas112]

@Abraksas112 replaced with this Hyper 212 plus btw :P

[Abraksas112]

@MoonOvIce But maybe Newegg would like to help here just to make sure ;)
