Retailing for the low price of £23.98/ €29,90/ $35, the Hyper 212 EVO should appeal to budget conscious enthusiasts or overclockers, provided its performance is up to scratch. Hopefully this claim is true as the Hyper 212 EVO is sacrificing 400 RPM of its fan speed in comparison to its predecessor. Cooler Master claim that their fan’s “unique wave-shaped blade design” offers excellent airflow. A 120mm PWM fan provides the Hyper 212 EVO’s airflow and is capable of pushing 66 CFM of air at a speed range of 600-1600 RPM (600-2000 RPM for the non-European version). The Direct Contact Technology, stacked fins and 4 heatpipes reduces airflow resistance, reduces heat spots. An aluminium fin stack which is supposedly optimized to provide the perfect balance between high and low fan speeds will dissipate the heat carried through it by the CDC heatpipes. The Hyper 212 Black Edition maintains the same cooling efficiency as the Hyper 212 EVO. Our testing will give you an idea as to whether their claims are true or not. The heatpipes employ Cooler Master’s patented Continuous Direct Contact (CDC) technology which they claim will “act as a virtual vapor chamber that dissipates a large amount of heat”.

It utilizes 4 6mm copper heatpipes which converge to form a H.D.T (heatpipe direct touch) base. This Cooler Master AMD AM4 upgrade kit can be used to enable selected cooling products to work with the new AMD Ryzen processors. The Hyper 212 EVO is very similar to its predecessor in terms of design.

Do you think that Cooler Master are happy with that? Oh no! To retain the price vs performance crown which the Hyper 212 Plus has held for so long, they have now introduced its successor, the Hyper 212 EVO. After a steady increase in price over the past few months, the Hyper 212 Plus has become a slightly less desirable product than it once was. The concoction of enthusiast level performance and a ridiculously low price tag made the Hyper 212 Plus a legendary CPU cooler in every sense of the term. $14 Enermax Magma UCMAA 12A-69.15 CFM 18dB and 1500 RPM and 1.Since its release in 2009, Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Plus has gained a well-deserved ‘legendary’ status among a significant proportion of system builders. $15 Corsair AF120 Performance Ed-63.47 CFM 30dB and 1650 RPM $17 Corsair SP120 Performance Ed-62.74 CFM 35dB and 2350 RPM Noctua's airflow fans look like they get beaten out by Enermax Magma (in as far as we can trust companies not to fudge their numbers *cough CoolerMaster *cough), but for cooling a heatsink or radiator, Noctua is the best.

You can compare so many different pc parts in many different ways:Īs a side note, the U12S comes with Noctua's flagship fan: the NF-F12. It is the best thing since Linus and PCPartPicker. I don't know how much that will change when I overclocking the cpu, though.įinally, I highly recommend checking out this link. (Now to quiet the other fans.) As you can see in the attached picutre, my cpu with the 212 is currently the coolest running part of my computer when doing normal computer work. Reducing the RPMs also made my computer a lot quieter. With the temperature-to-fan speed curve provided on SpeedFan, the RPM on the 212 went from 1950 to about 740 while still keeping the cpu pretty cool.

Apparently, it's the best software out there for controlling the 4-pin fans. I discovered SpeedFan within the last week. I can't tell too well from this person's video, but the U12S doesn't seem to nudge slot 1 like the 212 does. However, the U12S has "100% compatibility with tall RAM modules" for every chipset. For example, the U14S has clearance for full-sized RAM only on the 2011 chipset. On the otherhand, Noctua's website lists RAM clearance issues for their coolers.
HYPER 212 EVO REVIEW REDDIT MANUAL
I don't know if this is only a problem for the LGA1155 chipset, but I moved my RAM into slots 2 and 4 instead (the motherboard manual said slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 worked equally well for dual stick performance). I have 2 sticks of full-size Corsair RAM, and the 212 is pushing a little too hard against the stick in slot 1. On the CoolerMaster website, I couldn't find anything about RAM clearance. I'm revisiting this topic for two reasons: I'm about to start overclocking my i5-3570k, and I could move the 212 over to a work computer and put the NH-U12S on my i5. The Hyper 212 Evo and the NH-U12S are are the same two cpu coolers I'm deciding between.
