Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Cooler Review
Nickel plating peeled off the base
Underperforms compared to similar Cooler Master products
The Arctic Freezer i32 would be a better option if you want to overclock your CPU
Typically, large CPU coolers provide a greater surface area for more effective cooling and allow the use of bigger, quieter fans. However, the Hyper 212 failed to cope with our overvolted quad-core CPU as well as the Intel reference cooler. Granted, th...

Will not clear taller system memory, Could use a more powerful fan,
There are a lot of CPU coolers on the market these days. Some stick around for a few months while others stand the test of time. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 design is one of those gems that has a huge cult following and actually delivers on its promise. O...

Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition - $34.96, Amazon.comIt feels appropriate that baseball season is right around the corner because Cooler Master has hit it out of the park with the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition. It is currently selling for just $35...

Underperforms compared to similar Cooler Master products
Priced slightly above the RGB version, the Hyper 212 Black Edition with a Silencio fan appeals to low-noise builds while not fully living up to that moniker. High-wattage CPUs and/or extreme overclocking will likely push this cooler beyond its cooling lim...
Cooler Master has topped my charts again in both looks and performance with their new CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition. I was able to achieve a 4.7GHz on my toasty 8700K and still stay under 90c during the Prime95 test. This is a feat that no o...
The Hyper 212 has finally got the refresh it deserved with an amazing visual update while maintaining its performance and affordability. The look of the Hyper 212 Black Edition looks great and it fit my build perfectly. The nickel-plated black finish all...
While not much new has been accomplished in terms of lower temperatures over the original designs, the functionality and flexibility has certainly been improved on the Hyper 212 Plus and TX3 coolers. The new fan clips are a big improvement, providing a...
Abstract: Hyper 212 Plus model should be used for much higher overclock frequencies. Both coolers hit “bulls eye” especially if you take into consideration their prices...
Unique split fin design, Near silent operation, Included hardware for dual fan configuration, Superior mounting hardware, Excellent prices versus performance.
Base is not lapped to a mirror finish as stated, Clearance issues with some north bridge coolers, Need to remove the motherboard for installation.
With what I have found, the hyper 212 is an excellent addition to the air cooling market. Xigmatek is considered one of the best on the market, and to only loose out by one degree is quite admirable. Looks like Cooler Master is on to something with sp...
