They cut corners so they could make one bracket, and it's literally so bad I'd rather throw it in a box in my closet.
#YOUTUBE HYPER 212 EVO INSTALL AMD PC#
I'm as diehard a Hyper 212 fan as there is, I would gladly go back to it if they fixed the bracket and was ready to put Hyper 212 coolers on every system I build until they stop making them, but this version is never going back onto another PC if I have to take it off again. Overall Review: This thing is such a nightmare to work with that, if I end up having to RMA this CPU or board because of the problems I'm having, I'm eating the $40 and buying literally anything else. If you ever need to take it off without completely bread-boarding your build, it's a nightmare and a half. Scratch your head at a cooler that floats atop your CPU on a coat of thermal paste, that you can actually move around after its been "secured". This monstrosity? Question whether you have the adjustable bracket set right, carefully balance it over the top of the cooler, because it doesn't actually screw to the cooler, thread it into a set of posts that are already installed on the board and then realize in horror that those posts come out with the cooler half the time you need to unscrew the screws from them. You want to change the brackets? Screw the ones for your socket to the cooler and then attach it to the motherboard.

Is the Hyper 212 EVO the most efficient CPU cooler ever made? Probably not, but if you are building or upgrading a system, the Hyper offers superb cooling and quiet operation at a low cost. Either way, the resulting peace and quiet is welcome. However, the included Cooler Master fan is quiet enough, so there is little need to replace it. From my experience, I would say that the Noctua NF-F12 is more quiet at a higher RPM. The included CPU fan is one of the most silent CPU fans I have used. Certainly, it is a good idea to clean the dust from your system, and there will be dust on the Hyper over time, but it is nowhere near as bad as the stock cooler. The added heat fins are spaced further apart than the stock AMD cooler, so they do not become clogged with dust as often. The large heat sink with copper heat pipes and the quiet 120mm fan make a superb combination at a low cost. The Hyper 212 EVO is a purchase I am happy with. (This is an older, less efficient CPU.) Conclusion During a few unofficial measurements using BIOS reporting and psensor, the CPU stayed within 43-45C with the Hyper while the stock cooler raised the temperature to about 50C. The CPU runs a few degrees Celsius cooler. Plus, the Hyper moves more air with its 120mm fan. Any sound the Hyper produces is lower and deeper compared to the high-pitched, tinny whine of the stock fan. However, while the Hyper’s fan is noticeable at 100% CPU, it is still much more quiet than the stock fan. During everyday computer usage, the CPU fan is almost inaudible, but it will ramp up when the CPU reaches 100% usage.
The case with three fans is quieter than the one fan on the stock AMD cooler.
It is possible to arrange the heat sink so the fan blows upwards and out the top of the case.Īfter all of that work, is there any improvement? The two fans are in line with each other. The CPU fan blows air into the heat sink, and the outtake fan helps pull air out of the case. The Hyper’s fan is almost inaudible at a low RPM, so this should not make much of a difference.
