Not the best cooler (harsh seeing as its priced so much lower than the other but I couldnt think of anything else wrong with it!)
Time to combine the temperature results, noise readings, usability and pricing into a verdict. As you saw on the previous page, we put the Hyper's through their paces using an overclocked Core i7 system, which when highly overclocked/overvolted, easil...
Abstract: The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, despite being lighter, thinner, and having smaller heatpipes, is a better overall heatsink than the Fenrir. The mounting system is clever, requiring only one set of hardware for all sockets, and installs on AMD boards in the 'proper' orientation with the fan blowing east-west. We believe the superior mount also gives it an..
Abstract: The Noctua NH-D14 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ both earn the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" award. The NH-D14 earns it for it being the top performer in terms of cooling ability, while the Hyper 212+ earns it for doing quite well for a fraction of the price.
As we just saw, the Cooler Master 212 Plus provides good performance for the price. While it is certainly not the most powerful cooler out there, at just $35 USD, it holds its own on the market. Not only does the Hyper 212 Plus perform well, but its p...
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is a good cooler with reasonable performance. It has a good construction quality and its fan is strong and quiet.It, however, does not reach the performance level shown by top-shelf coolers, probably because of its relative...
Abstract: When it comes to the Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, I will not be changing its scoring, mainly the one area that really hurts this CPU is the (again) the mounting. Trying to hold onto a retention plate insert the retention plates nuts while at the same time try to screw on the motherboard/retention plate..
Good performance, AMD and Intel Compatibility, Brackets for second fan
Instructions/installation not very clear
Whenever I see a product that uses the same name but has a 'plus' or a 'II' used, I usually assume there are some minor changes made to the original. This really isn't the case with the Hyper 212 Plus, as the changes made are rather su...
Excellent Cooling Characteristics, 4 Direct Contact Copper HeatPipes, 120mm Fan w/Optional Second Fan, Asymmetrical Design,
Fans are somewhat noisy when over 1500 RPM, HI Tech Legion Gold Award
The Hyper 212 Plus impressed me in most respects. The performance was better than I had anticipated, the mounting was easy and versatile and the documentation was clear. I also liked the fact that the unit had a smaller footprint with only one fan, all...
Light, small footprint, Kept the i7 860 overclocked over 40% at under 60C, Silent running, Will accommodate a second fan if desired, Innovative mounting hardware “one size fits all”, Under $30,
None
As this is the first cooler I’ve had that would accommodate LGA 1156, I really had nothing to compare this cooler with. I also really don’t know how hot the i7 860 (95 watts) gets compared to the LGA 1366 i7 920 (130 watts). The i7 920 is a ve...
