Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPU Air Cooler - Aluminium Finish, 4 Compact Continuous Direct Contact Heat Pipes, SickleFlow 120 Edge Fan, LGA1700 & AM5 Brackets - Black

Recently bought for upgrade in my friends computer, and I think I was taken aback by its quality in comparison to the large Noctua heatsink I have installed in my own built more recently.It is compact, and lightweight, but looks and feels premium, with central bound reinforcement to the fins, so I didn't have to worry about the individual fins bending during installation. The fan was very easy to install, and runs quiet and bright.I have it running on a Ryzen 5 2600, stock speeds, at acceptable idle temperatures. I removed and used my own thermal paste (Arctic MX-6), which runs well as expected, I can only assume the stock paste would be effective within a small number of additional degrees.The fan comes with a PWM header, and also an ARGB header. Unfortunately the motherboard did not have a Lighting controller, however the fan's default rainbow looks amazing.

Nephew didn't have a cooler. This was a no brainer. He's happy as can be. I've used variants of this cooler in many builds over the years and it's never let me down. It's built well, quick and easy to fit, and works with any modern motherboard. The stock fan is quiet enough, yet cools well. Overall I'm not sure I'd bother looking at another cooler at this budget point, as this is great value for money.

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo in Pure White delivers excellent cooling performance for its price, with an eye-catching design that complements white-themed builds. Its vibrant RGB lighting, quiet operation, and straightforward installation make it a great choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts.However, it may face clearance issues in compact cases or with tall RAM modules, and it might not satisfy hardcore overclockers. Overall, it's a stylish and reliable air cooler, perfect for most users seeking performance and aesthetics at a reasonable price.

Replaced an old Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo when upgrading the CPU in my PC, looks sleek, was much easier to fit than my old one as the bracket was designed much better with this model, and no concerns with temps during gaming. All running cool and pretty quiet too, why bother with an AIO cooler!

I currently use this for my PC build on an AMD CPU, for the value of money there is nothing to complain about it does the job as an air cooler, it fits the CPU cooling standards and has an overall great build quality.The compatibility of this is also insane as it supports all types of CPUs whether it is AMD or Intel.The air cooler is also easy to put onto the motherboard with just 4 screws and attaching the fan to the motherboard

Can't fault it for what I use it for, and it's generally very quiet. Keeps my 14600K at decent temperatures even when my system is really hammering it. Having said that, if you're buying this for a processor that you're going to overclock (despite the K, I'm not overclocking mine — would have very little benefit in my system), you'll probably want something a bit stronger. Obviously that all depends on the airflow around your system; if you've chosen to make your system silent by stuffing it full of pillows, then your cooling needs are likely to be a little more extreme.Incidentally, stuffing your system full of pillows is not a good way to make it silent. It's a good way to make your street very noisy with the sound of fire engines.

Great cooler, wouldn't expect less from cooler master. Looks great, with strong build quality. Keeps my i7 9700K at 4.6GHz under max load at around 68 degrees celsius for at least half an hour before it starts thermal throttling. Great value for money

Very clean looking cooler that keeps my ryzen 9700x in 105w mode right around 60 degrees, very easy to install and came with all the brackets you could ever need
