I just installed a phenom ll proccesor with the boxed cooler on a asrock AM3+ motherboard...

so installing a hyper 212+ should go just fine.

will it fit onto 1155 and perform well even if i overclock?

Takes up all the height room on a hyper 212. Running on a 1055t overclocked to 1090t speeds and temps seem to stay the same. Stock cooler runs about 10 degrees hotter on stock or 20 degrees hotter on overclock

@TheArnzi You'd use the same configuration as the 1156.

tips on getting even more performance out of this thing:

point the intake to where the most cool air comes from

cover the sides with tape to keep air flowing through it

stock fan works better pointing inwards to the hyper 212, high cfm fan works better pointing outwards.

@TheArnzi As he said its a lower end cpu cooler not going to be safe for over overclocking you be better off going with the Cooler Master V6, V8 or even a Corsair Cooling Hydro-Series All-in-One High-Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

@GunSkillet Pics or didn't happen. Run prime95 for 24hours and show the pics of temps and prime.

@hemmipalmroos

60C on full load isnt insanely hightemps.And this thing is huge, it's like 7 inches tall.

[hemmipalmroos]

@GunSkillet ofc you can get those numbers but with insanely high temps. You really need something with ALOT more surface area.

@hemmipalmroos

You can get 5.2 Ghz with this CPU cooler with a 2500k or a 2600k, so yeah, it's pretty good for overclocking..
