My previous case and CPU cooler was a Lian Li A4-H2O and a Corsair H100i RGB Elite 240 AIO. The AIO pump was annoyingly audible and didn't do much to cool the rest of that hot box. After moving my components to the NR200 and ditching the AIO for the Hyper 212 BE, even after ASUS fan tuning and enabling Q-Fan Control, all my temps are 15-20 degrees C lower. I am running it with 1 additional Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 as a second top exhaust.Despite it being a bit bigger, the extra volume is appreciated for more airflow and running CPU tower coolers like the Hyper 212 BE. It still fits in my desk cabinet, has more internal storage expandability, and looks fantastic. I especially love how easy it is to get into for quick servicing and cleaning the magnetic dust ... MoreMy previous case and CPU cooler was a Lian Li A4-H2O and a Corsair H100i RGB Elite 240 AIO.

I've pretty much used Cooler Master HSF's exclusively for as long as I've known of them (around 20ish years). My previous System used an Hyper N520 which performed reliably for 10 years. So It was a no brainer to go with the evolutionary design for my new 10700K. While the Hyper 212 is highly compatible with numerous sockets, it requires a whole bunch of various and small component parts which are both a little confusing to assemble, and not to mention easy to damage or lose if you're not careful. What I really don't like about this thing though, is the metal fan clips. It comes with one fan preinstalled, which you do need to remove to put the socket mounting parts on. it was a little annoying getting it lined back up right before installing it into the case, but ... MoreI've pretty much used Cooler Master HSF's exclusively for as long as I've known of them (around 20ish years).

It comes with one fan preinstalled, which you do need to remove to put the socket mounting parts on. it was a little annoying getting it lined back up right before installing it into the case, but then adding/replacing fans once inside the case proved to be very, very annoying (Esp because I have huge hands). I replaced the stock fan with 2 Bgears b-PWM's (Red and Blue), and getting the clips to fit snugly was just....a trial in frustration, to put it mildly. They just wouldn't fit snugly till I made a couple of bends (outward, not inward). I didn't break out the micrometer, but while they are both standard 25mm total width, this is likely a result of slightly different design Dimensions between the Silencio Fan it came with and the BGears b-PWM's I installed in it's place which are much higher max flow rate (110CFM), but also seem to be more lightly constructed. This is NOT a negative on the Silencio fan at all, it's just that airflow capacity was more of a priority for my needs then silence (My system has sound matting installed inside to deaden the roar from the 3X140MM&1X4X120MM b-Blaster intake & exhaust fans. Yes, they are massive overkill, but for my needs it's calculated overkill. You'll just have to trust me on this trhough, because this is about the Hyper 212, not my "ode to excess" of a PC). Given a choice, I would have preferred to more b-Blasters to the Hyper 212, but they are 38mm wide, and just wouldn't fit between it and both the memory DIMM's or the VRM heatsink on the Asus Z-590 Prime board I'm using. So the b-PWM seemed like my next best option, but other brand/model's of fans may not run into the same problem I did. It depends on the exact manufactured dimensions. The good and bad news about the metal clips is that they only seem to be used on the 212 BE, while the RGB BE and other versions of it use plastic clips that screw into the fan instead. You COULD replace them with the plastic ones, which are listed on CM's webstore, but always seem to be out of stock, and can't be gotten anywhere else. Why they even use the metal clips on this model I can only conjecture (Cost savings, probably), but I suppose you could figure another way to rig them in using Wire tires or maybe even fashioning your own metal clips, or even printing your own plastic ones if you have the ability to do that. But that's probably something everyone will need to figure out for themselves.

I enjoy Cooler Master Hyper 212; no complaints of noise level, and they are very effective for "normal" moderate usage. Untested in any arena of online gaming , or over clocking! Never any "normal"usage problems or complaint other than the complete CPU cooler, and Fan's if you use dual fans option. It is a definite "Heavy" cooler so care must be taken to insure the computer case is properly stabilised at all times.

Stay a while and listen....So in early 2018 I bought a CyperPowerPC system from BestBuy.com picked up at my local Best Buy brick and mortar store for my son. That system was equipped with a Ryzen 5 1400. Fast Forward to 2021 and except for the case, motherboard and internal cabling, I have pretty much replaced every other component in this thing. Not that anything failed, just upgrades for better performance.So in mid 2019, I swapped out the original Ryzen 5 1400 CPU for a Ryzen 5 2600. The first gen Ryzen 1000 CPU's did not ship with a stock cooler from AMD so my assumption is that the Cooler Master branded cooler in this system used by CyberPowerPC was the equivalent of what is the Wraith Spire that is included in the Ryzen 2000 and Ryzen 3000 series mid tier ... MoreStay a while and listen....So in early 2018 I bought a CyperPowerPC system from BestBuy.com picked up at my local Best Buy brick and mortar store for my son.

The first gen Ryzen 1000 CPU's did not ship with a stock cooler from AMD so my assumption is that the Cooler Master branded cooler in this system used by CyberPowerPC was the equivalent of what is the Wraith Spire that is included in the Ryzen 2000 and Ryzen 3000 series mid tier CPU's. Matter of fact, I upgraded from the Ryzen 5 1400 to the Ryzen 5 2600 and re used the included Cooler Master cooler. I even bought a tube of premium Thermaltake heat sink compound from the same brick and mortal Best Buy I picked up this machine from. Since Ryzen 5 2600 and Ryzen 5 1400 are both TDP 65W CPU's I figured the same cooling solution should work and it did.Now again here in 2021, I upgraded my PC from a Ryzen 9 3900X to a Ryzen 9 5950X and I figured I would once again pass a CPU down to my son in the aforementioned PC. So the 3900X is a 105W TDP and I knew the existing Cooler Master cooler would not work. So after some research, it looks like the Hyper 212 BE is rated for 150W TDP CPU's.So I replaced the Ryzen 5 2600 with the Ryzen 3900X in his PC. I then used the Hyper 212 BE as the new cooler.So my son's CyberPowerPC from Best Buy had a rebranded Cooler Master Masterbox 5 and the motherboard they used was a MSI Bazooka B350M micro ATX board. Yep, let's put a 3900X on an entry level B350 board.So assembling the Hyper 212 BE was not bad. The biggest gripe I had was getting the plastic clips they include for their new backplate to go onto their backplate. I watched several videos of how to assemble the Hyper 212 BE on Youtube so I felt good going into this upgrade. The packed in instructions are good and well marked from a documentation perspective but the commentary and videos on Youtube made me feel more confident.Nevertheless, I struggled to get their clips onto their backplate.Also, the clips that hold the included 120mm fan onto the tower heatsink are a bit touchy. This unit comes with the fan already mounted to the tower but you have to remove it to get clearance to attach the appropriate brackets for your CPU socket to the cooler and also have adequate leverage to get a screw driver to come straight down onto the scrws that secure the cooler tower to the backplate.Mounting the backplate to the motherboard was not a problem and also attaching the tower to the backplate and screwing it down tightly was a decent experience. Unlike the stock AMD clip method that just sucks and I think requires too much pressure to mount a cooler, Once I applied my thermal compound and lined up the tower onto the backplate and started the criss cross pattern to screw this down, once it was all tightened up, it swas solid secure and mounted well.Firing up the system post upgrade, everything works well. Temps are higher than I would like but they are within stock. Again, i am running a 3900X up from a 2600 on a B350 micro ATX board.I did disable PBO in the bios and I do not have any overlclocks applied. Temps according to the MSI Command Center bounce between high 30's to mid 50s C while idling. If I use something like CPU-Z to stress the CPU, I do see that it can get up around 83C under a full 24 thread load.My son basically plays games so a full stress test does not represent a realistic work load so take this with a grain of salt. Also, I am not a professional. The fact the PC still runs after its 3rd CPU is amazing.My son probably sits on his PC too much as it is but he has not complained about anything. To him, the PC still pretty much feels like it did when it was on the 1400 CPU. Which is a good thing.Time will tell if this will fry his VRMs. Looks like there are 4 of them on ths particular board. I did see videos on Youtube of folks trying 3900X in B350 boards as a proof of concept. I think Hot Hardware said that if you shut off PBO and don't overclock, that things do get warm but stay within spec. Of course they were using the included Wraith Prism that come withthe 3900X however, I do not have one of those as my machine came with an AIO closed loop 120mm cooler so that is why I grabbed the Hyper 212 BE.Maybe the Prism would be better since it is a downward cooler. Again time will tell.Anyway, this thing is really nice looking when mounted in his PC case. Sorry to not include a picture.I would recommend this unit. Overall, it seems good quality. Hopefully, I did not do my son a dis service and bite off more than his motherboard can handle.
I recently upgraded my CPU cooling solution to the Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition, and it has been nothing short of impressive. The sleek jet black design not only adds a touch of style to my rig but also delivers exceptional cooling performance.Installation was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly design and clear instructions. The 120mm fan efficiently dissipates heat, keeping my CPU at optimal temperatures even during intense gaming sessions or resource-heavy tasks. The RGB lighting adds a vibrant and customizable touch, allowing me to match it seamlessly with the rest of my setup.What stands out is the near-silent operation. The Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition manages to keep temperatures low without sacrificing peace and quiet.

You know who you are. You built a system with a 4690k and GTX 980 in 2014. I helped you choose between 8GB and 16GB in dual channel at 1600mhz. I also helped you decide between the 120GB and 240GB SSD. Now you're moving onto a new platform and you're curious if this does a good job.Well, as a status-report, it does. But remember how bad that included fan was? As tradition, that's still true, but it's not the end of the world.I have mine strapped with two Noctua NF-P12's using the (luckily) included two fan mounts and 8 fan dampeners that allow me to run them silently. They are in push->pull. I have a very rare setup, an Intel Xeon E5-1660V3 at 4.3ghz on a very hard-to-get motherboard.

Your 13700k won't do this.When the fans are replaced, the tradition of the Hyper 212 becomes true to form. Way, *way* too effective for what it costs. Just get that "Silencio" fan in the trash as soon as possible. It's a garbage fan. But honestly, the platform for the fan and fin stack has definitely improved. Especially for LGA-2011 V3 support.
Super reputable company, this was a relatively simple install in comparison to the leading brands. This is a very effective cooling solution that isn’t hard on the wallet, and has been for over a decade! Pairing this with another brand proprietary fan would be absolute overkill. I went from roughly 40-50c at idle on a 5600x to about 30c at idle and maximum of 65c while gaming and such. However it’s going to get 4 out 5 stars for one reason: the mounting process & the difficulty reading the manual. There are parts that look extremely similar to one another (especially in grayscale) that makes it hard to understand how to assemble specific configuration for your chipset. I mitigated this by watching a YouTube tutorial that allowed me to see the parts in the manual in ... MoreSuper reputable company, this was a relatively simple install in comparison to the leading brands.

However it’s going to get 4 out 5 stars for one reason: the mounting process & the difficulty reading the manual. There are parts that look extremely similar to one another (especially in grayscale) that makes it hard to understand how to assemble specific configuration for your chipset. I mitigated this by watching a YouTube tutorial that allowed me to see the parts in the manual in higher definition and with more contextual angles than the manual provides. Once it seemed like how my configuration and the manuals matched it was time to mount. This is the most strenuous part of the entire process, much more than assembling the mounting brackets and such. The reason is the placement of the screws force you to remove the fan from the heatsink tighten your mount onto your motherboard and then put the fan back on the now mounted heatsink. The reason for this is because two of the 4 screws are directly below the fan and it’s recommended you screw the mount in progressing around your mount until each screw is tight. This would be easy if they provided some sort of tool that lets you tighten the screws from such a crazy angle but that would probably cut into the costs of manufacturing. The clips that fix the fans onto the heatsink need to be clipped in the exact position they where in when you opened the box or the fan will be either too high or too low with very little clearance for your memory. Other than that, they provide a plethora of solutions as well as included thermal compound, brackets and mount configurations and an extra power cable for two fans. I would for sure recommend this as its a great solution but the process of installation could use some aid.
Runs quiet but is a bit of a pain getting clips to lock in on both sides if you remove the fan or it falls off the heatsink. Works with AM5 socket but is not RGB fan so not sure why it was being sold as such. i can still freely move the ram from all slots on mobo(MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk) if choose to add more later.Never had liquid cooler so cannot compare how temps are kept in control. Idle temp is around 35c and with playing starfield on mid-setting runs about 50c. I only have two stock fans in system from when bought tower a few years back so do not know size but think they're 120mm.
I bought a new PC and heat is your enemy, this CPU cooler is a major upgrade from the OEM setup.Cooler Master make great radiator coolers and they are relatively easy to install. all the required hardware is in the box and thermal paste. On a new PC the CPU has thermal paste on it when you pull the OEM cooler. As long as you have coverage you don't need the paste in the kit. I just added a small drop to what was there so there wouldn't be a problem.Even if you are new to computers, this is an easy upgrade. you are really going to screw in 4 screws and clip on the fan with the spring clamps provided. Bing Bang Boop... you're done.I added memory and this cooler to the system I bought before I even used the PC because those are the two most affordable and easiest ... MoreI bought a new PC and heat is your enemy, this CPU cooler is a major upgrade from the OEM setup.Cooler Master make great radiator coolers and they are relatively easy to install. all the required hardware is in the box and thermal paste.
