works great

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

Style: 212 EVO V2Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace the stock air cooler on my Pentium i7 930. when I built the computer some 12 or 13 years ago I put a pelter cooler on it which worked great and kept the processor cool no matter how hard it was loaded. when it went out I put the factory air cooler back on the processor, it has always ran hot with the factory cooler on it even at idle it was extremely hot, 90 to 95° c was normal. if you loaded it down, the processor would overheat and shut the computer off. and that was not overclocked at all. now even running prime 95 the processor hasn't gotten over 60° c. with just regular usage it's staying below 38° c. Right now it is mildly overclocked running at 2.9. though it wasn't listed to fit an LGA 1366 processor, with just a little modification I was able to make it Mount up perfectly fine. The larger fan that has is also much quieter than the stock cooler fan was. I would think that unless you're really pushing the overclock and need a liquid cooler, this cooler should be perfectly fine.

Great price and performance

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016

Style: 212 EVOVerified Purchase

I'm going to start with the things I didn't like.

The instructions suck. They tell you to put thermal paste on your CPU before mounting the bracket that goes behind the motherboard. Due to the vague illustrations, I did not realize it needed a bracket behind the motherboard, when I was skimming the instructions. Simply put, I ended up having to put thermal paste on it twice because it's impossible to take a motherboard out of your case, attach the mounting bracket and put the motherboard back in place without contaminating the thermal paste. Even a single finger print or eye lash or piece of dust is enough to contaminate it and have an impact on the performance of your heat sink.

Another thing I didn't like was the tool used for tightening on the nuts for the bracket. I tried using it but ended up using a wrench instead.

Finally, I find the heat sink isn't exactly what I'd call secure. Even after tightening it down and making sure I had everything properly lined up, the whole thing will still twist a little bit. It's noticeable when you're trying to re-attach the fan.

I've seen other reviews saying they ended up with mounting parts that were defective. Fortunately, I did not have this problem.

What do I recommend buying before attempting this?

It comes with its own thermal paste but you could always buy better. I went with some Arctic Silver 5, like most people. You'll also want some lint free wipes (coffee filters work but I do not recommend them because they're a bit stiff and tend to cause scratches; I used PEC PAD wipes sold here on Amazon that I bought for cleaning photos and negatives) and either rubbing alcohol (at least 90% but 99% is preferred; can usually find at least 91% at Walmart and most stores) or one of those cleaner kits. Also, if you don't have a small wrench set, you might want to get one, unless you plan to rely on the tool included in the kit. You definitely need a screw driver but most people would know this already.

So, how do you put this thing on?

Be sure to consult the instructions for each step. Also, before you do anything, take the heat sink and fan and verify you have enough clearance for it on your motherboard and in your case. This heat sink is rather large. There is a risk of it crowding a RAM slot or being too tall to even fit in your case.

The first thing you should do is attach the bracket to your motherboard as per the instructions for your CPU. If you've already mounted your motherboard to your case, you will have to take it out. I used a wrench because I didn't have enough space to flip it completely on its back and use the included tool.

Detach the fan from the heat sink.

After you do that, put the X shaped bracket through the gap behind where the heat sink makes contact with the CPU. Keep the adhesive strip on for now. Test and make sure the X bracket matches up with the mount points you attached to your motherboard. Once you confirm you have it correctly adjusted, place your CPU in the socket (if you haven't already) and secure it.

Clean the CPU cap (the part where the heat sink will connect with the CPU; use a lint free wipe and the alcohol or cleaner solution) and place thermal paste in accordance with the instructions for your thermal paste. If your thermal paste lacks instructions, the idea is to have just enough paste covering the part of the cap directly above the core(s) for your CPU. If you can't find specific directions on google, you could try putting a small plus sign of paste in the middle. To get the appropriate amount of paste, you need only an amount equal to a single line covering about 50% of the length of the CPU cap. So, if you do a plus sign, it only needs to be about 25% of the length of the cap. If your CPU doesn't have a cap, just place a rice sized dot in the center of each core. Again, most CPUs have instructions for this online.

Once you've done that, take the adhesive strip off of the heat sink. I recommend cleaning the spot you took the adhesive off of (again, using a lint free wipe and cleaning solution) but it's not absolutely necessary. If you want to confirm whether you put enough or too much paste on, you can place the heat sink against the CPU, apply some pressure (just enough to get the paste to spread) and twist the heat sink a little each way. If you pull it up and the paste is going over the edge, you have too much and should use a lint free wipe to clean the excess along the edges. There should be at least enough to cover a circular area over all cores.

You should now carefully line up the brackets and orient your heat sink. Proceed with lightly screwing in each screw. Once you've got all 4 screws started, go around and tighten them all down.

Finally, reattach the fan, plug it in and you're done.

So, what did I like about this?

Once I finished putting it on, it lowered my idle temps quite a bit (down to about 27 C idle and about 48 C under load with the core temps topping out around 63 C under load) and it fixed the overheating problem I was having with my stock heat sink. Supposedly, over time the temps will get better as my thermal paste settles but I don't expect a huge difference. The fan hasn't noticeably raised the noise level in my PC, which is fairly quiet. I had a little trouble keeping the fan from touching the heat spreader on the closest RAM stick but I managed to wiggle in a tiny gap. The top of the heat sink comes really close to the other side of my case but there is a gap there. Overall, I'd say I'm satisfied.

When I first put my stock heat sink on, it did a fair job (but not great since even a small overclock caused it to overheat) at keeping the CPU cool. However, about 3.5 years later my idle temps had nearly doubled and games were starting to make it overheat. I had a choice to make. I could either clean off my stock heat sink and CPU and put on new thermal paste or I could buy a new heat sink. I decided that if I was going through that much trouble, I might as well invest in a good heat sink. This heat sink is compatible with a large range of CPUs. Furthermore, I don't plan to stop using my i5-3570K any time soon. So, even given the age of the CPU, I think I'll get my money back out of the heat sink. I'm wishing I hadn't been lazy and bought this heat sink back when I initially put this PC together.

For anyone curious, these are my motherboard and case.

I've stuck with the Cooler Master Hyper series for the last 10 years and the 212 is no exception for quality and cooling. Comes with 1 giant fan, thermal paste (in a tube, not pre-applied) and mounting tools for just about every socket available.

I'm using this on an AM5 socket. Installation took less than 5 minutes and was as simple as you can get.

Cool CPU cooler, bro...

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2020

Style: 212 EVOVerified Purchase

I have an AMD A10-7850K APU on a FM2+ socket Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H motherboard.

I read a lot of the reviews on this. I had mixed feelings about it, but because the more expensive cooler I wanted was not available to ship until late April, I decided to go ahead and give it a shot.
I don't game on my PC, it's used for Roblox for the kids, and general web browsing, YouTube videos, spreadsheets, etc. So I don't need a liquid nitrogen super-cooler keeping my CPU at just above absolute zero.
I do have some background in DIY PC stuff, as I build and maintain both my PC and home server.
Over the last week, the PC was suffering from CPU throttling from high temps, and once it started shutting down, I figured it was time to act.
So I started researching this cooler. It's been out for years now, and had good reviews from tech sites, but plenty of bad ones from owners. But since I was on a timetable I figured I'd give this one a shot.
Package came on time, no damage. Contents were undamaged, nothing missing.
First impression: Holy crap this thing is HUGE! (that's what she said)
It's more like a CPU cooler skyscraper, lol. My biggest concern was if it would fit in my Roswell micro-ATX case but it looked like I would just be able to fit it in there.
So a lot of the negative reviews were about the PITA installation procedure. I can see why some people had a hard time. It took me about 2 hours total from start to finish, which is a bit long, IMO. My tower also has removable panels on both sides, so I didn't have to remove the motherboard, which was a good thing.
But I gotta say, I do appreciate the design. It's meant to accommodate a wide variety of chipsets and motherboards, so it's not going to be plug-n-play for most people, myself included.
Another complaint was the directions. Honestly, they could've been a little more detailed, but actually I didn't think they were all that bad. I recommend watching a YouTube video or two on your socket type before installation.
Installing the backplate was pretty straight forward. The directions tell you which mount holes to use for your socket. I removed the old Arctic cooler and cleaned up the old thermal paste off of the chip using isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth. When I installed the Arctic 64, I realized that I put on too much paste, and it got everywhere, including on the socket, so I had to remove the chip and clean everything up.
Then I had to figure out the layout, since this one was considerably larger and the fan is side mounted, not top mounted like my previous cooler.
For my tower, I needed to reverse the airflow on my chassis fans, as originally I had the fan on the front panel as the intake, and the back as the exhaust. The Hyper 212 Evo was too large to have the fan facing the front, as it would impede the SATA cables coming from my hard drives, so I simply mounted it with the fan facing the back, and reversed the airflow on my chassis fans.
The hardest part was lining up the bracket on the inside, with the studs coming from the mounting plate on the back of the MB. Originally I had used the wrong holes on the backplate, which I didn't realize until trying to mount the studs on the inside. After some rearranging, everything fit.
I used the thermal paste included, despite having some Arctic Silver MX-5 laying around, as it had been sitting in a box in my closet for almost 4 years. I put a small dab in the center of my chip, about the size of a grain of rice.
The directions tell you which slots to put the spring loaded screws into that hold the cooler down and fasten into the bracket studs, so make sure you check that before attempting to mount. Once I had the paste on and the X-bracket oriented properly on the cooler, it was time to mount.
It took a bit of force to get the screws started in the studs, but it wasn't all that bad, as the bracket and springs allow for plenty of flexibility to bend and twist until you get them lined up correctly. Once started, it was easy, just make sure to follow the tightening pattern in the directions.
Not sure why some people broke their motherboards, tightening should be snug, not insane.
Once fastened securely it doesn't really move around, like some complained.
Only thing left was to snap the fan in place and crank her up.
She's definitely louder than the old one, and it's probably overkill since I'm not doing anything super-intensive, but this thing definitely looks cool, lol.
I ran Prime95 stress test for 6 hours and the Hyper had no problems keeping everything nice and cool. Temps rarely go above 40 C now during normal use. No throttling or shutdowns so far.
The fan does get louder than my old cooler when it cranks up to full RPMs, but it doesn't bother me at all.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Will update if anything changes.

This is my second build using the Cooler Master 212 Evo. I'm using it on a 12-gen Intel CPU (LGA 1700). I've been using the stock cooler for a few months, but the high temps and the cpu fan noise were annoying me, so I bit the bullet and went for this cooler.
Pros:
- Temps in games went from 70C to 53C
- Temps in idle went down about 10C
- The fan is very quiet, most of the time you won't even hear it (as opposed to the stock fan which was noisy at higher speeds)
- Great price. I got it "used" but looked brand new. Very happy to save a few bucks.

Cons:
- The only con is the install can be tricky. When attaching the plastic back-plate it is loose at first, until you screw on the cooler itself. That was a bit confusing, but a couple of vids confirmed that it was the correct way.
