"...While it wasnt quite as big as I was expecting, it is still pretty big...." Read more

"...The cooler is also compact, fitting comfortably in most cases, though I recommend checking the dimensions if you’re working with a smaller case...." Read more

"...Add to this it's very tall so you have leverage putting further stress on the PCB. Time will tell if this will be a problem...." Read more

537 customers mention "Fan quality"201 positive336 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the fan quality. Some say it supports an additional 120mm fan and can have a push-pull airflow setup, while others mention the fan barely made it six months, failed completely, and seems very light duty.

"...I started with the 101, and I can tell you, forget it. It performed so poorly my processor had to auto-underclock to keep within thermal limits...." Read more

"...Onto more interesting points: The fan is a 120 mm fan and runs VERY SLOW compared to the stock CPU fan...." Read more

"...If you reverse the air flow, the cooler will not effectively work...." Read more

CM Hyper 212 EVO Review – Excellent Cooling, but assembly difficulties

CM Hyper 212 EVO Review – Excellent Cooling, but assembly difficulties
Purchased this CPU Cooler due to my CPU running hot as of late. It is a 6-year old computer with an AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black CPU running at up to 3100 MHz and I don’t overclock. Not sure if it was due to the age of my CPU, or the Stock CPU cooler, or maybe background software conflicts causing stress on the CPU. But it was reaching 70+ deg.C. I suspected my Thermal Paste had dried out, and it had. So I cleaned the contact area and reapplied the Thermal Paste without any appreciable improvement.So after researching CPU coolers, I purchased and installed the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Wow – what a significant difference. It now runs 31 – 35 deg.C. HAPPY ;-)The problems are these:1) Excellent diagrams, but ZERO verbal info.2) Hardware design weaknesses.3) Hardware life concerns.The 1st problem is that you need to interpret which diagrams should be followed: AMD vs. Intel. – not too difficult.Step 2 was to apply the Thermal Paste – I’m glad I waited on that. You need to install the supports and experiment with the placement first.Installing the CPU cooler supports was a lesson in frustration. On my previous CPU cooler, the backplate was threaded, just thread the screws from the front. But with this, you must insert the set-off screws from the front, put the back-plate on the screws, and mount the hex-nuts without dropping them. The screw has a flat side on the threads and needs to be turned just right, to fit the hole in the back-plate. Then to tighten the nut, you use a Phillips-head screwdriver to drive the provided nut-driver bit to tighten the nut (confused? - Look at the diagram 09 & 10 in an attached pic). The other problem is that the tool would not work in the tight space (see close-up), so I had to use a small open-end wrench.I then experimented with the location of the CPU Cooler to check the fit with the neighboring components, and how the attaching frame would be connected. I found that the Cooler had to be oriented differently from my original plans. I experimented with the frame center-pin which had a tightening spring – I never could figure out the purpose or what position it was supposed to be in – no information is provided.I then applied the Thermal Paste – amount not made clear in the instructions, so I used about a third, only to find out that it was too much. The excess oozed out, and though I tried to wipe away most of it, some is on the CPU mounting board at the edge of the CPU (see pic). Not happy about that and I’m hesitant to remove the Cooler and then CPU to clean it up and try again!Mounting the Cooler with the X-shaped scissor-frame was a bit of a challenge, but doable.After mounting the fan on the Cooler, they show mounting brackets to a fan before mounting it to the Cooler. You are forced to conclude that this diagram is if you want to buy and mount a second fan, though that is not made clear. And should it be mounted blowing in or out (against or with the initial fan direction).The CPU Cooler fan has a range of about 600 to 2000 rpm. Mine is currently running at about 1000 to 1150 rpm, and is quiet. I can’t hear it over the other installed fans – total of 6 case fans, plus graphics card fan and power supply fan. It is an oversized Tower-Case that replaced a previous desktop case when it was used as a Home Entertainment PC. So the Cooler fan is very quiet at this half-rated speed, but before I had gotten the speed tweaked, and it jumped up to full speed, I witnessed that it can get rather loud.Note that this CPU Cooler is large – it would not have fit in ANY of my past standard-sized cases. Be aware, this will only fit in an oversized case, or you would have to cut a hole in your case as a few others have.I have only a few days of experience with this CPU Cooler, but so far it has definitely proven to be the right buy for me. Unlike a few others, I have not encountered any manufacturing defects. A more convenient attachment frame and some verbal information provided with the already good diagrams would make this a superior CPU Cooler for anyone with a large computer case.

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
    Let's put it this way. Out of all the custom Gaming PC builds I have done, I was always reluctant to use this product due to the installation and size. I originally thought that maybe I could use another 3rd party cooler before using this one. However, although I passed on this cooler many times, my i7 6700 needs something to keep it more cool, and since I am definitely not comfortable with water cooling I decided to look at this product once again. I read the reviews, watched unboxings and installation guides, and through all of it, it convinced me to finally buy the Hyper Evo.

    When I finally got it in the mail, I was very nervous because I didn't want to mess up anything in case I installed it wrong. However, as I was getting all of it ready to install, I noticed all of the things it came with as well. It provides you with the standoff type things that you screw the main thing itself into and you get the screws, nuts, the bracket, and a tube of thermal paste all for you to get ready for the installation. Also, once I got to the install, I noticed that I was missing a piece to my motherboard that I needed to install it and at the same time I accidentally bent the pins on my motherboard. Worried about attempting to fix the pins I ordered a new one and as soon as it arrived the motherboard had the piece I needed and it was back to installation time.

    The install is pretty straight forward, but if you rush into it too quickly like I did the first time, then you might get some issues. Anyway, so of it may take time to do such as installing the backplate on the back of the motherboard or trying to get the bracket situated right to set it down and screw it into place. Overall, there are some difficult moments in the install, and i recommend that you take it slow and take deep breaths. I also found it easier to take off the fan that is on the heatsink during the install and reapplying it after it is done. I also recommend that you have a second person with you to hold a flashlight and stuff just to make sure you are doing everything right. I will say, however, that try to make sure your case can fit this cooler before you buy it, otherwise you will never get the side panel back on your PC.

    Pros:
    -Affordable
    -Durable
    -Quiet
    -Efficient
    -Amazing Cooling

    Cons:
    -Huge
    -Install takes patience.

    Overall it works really well for me and it took away the hang that my other cooler was causing. I hope that I helped anyone that needed another opinion and I want to thank you all for reading.

    I've always used the stock cooler that came with my CPUs because my logic was that those coolers are designed to work with those CPUs and I don't over clock therefore did not need a bigger cooler.

    However, I started having over heating issues on my PC. My guess was maybe the stock CPU cooler just wasn't doing its job as well anymore. I'd start up a game and within a couple minutes my PC would shut down and then start back up.

    After doing some researching my two options were either get a new PSU as a failing power supply can cause the issues I was having or I could buy a new CPU cooler since I noticed that my computer was idling mid to high 50 degree Celsius. And would jump to the high 60s and mid 70s under gaming load.

    Obviously I went for the cheaper option and bought this bad boy. Let me just say outright that I wish I had bought this or a similar cooler a lot earlier.

    As you'll read in other reviews this thing is really quiet. The stock CPU upon pressing the power on my case to turn on my PC would spin up to max and slowly drop down to idle speeds as the PC booted up. Not really too big of a deal but it was quite a noticeable noise upon start up. However, with this CPU I no longer have that noise. I caught myself the other day pressing the button and pausing because I wasn't sure if the PC was actually booting or not because of how quiet it was. Even as I sit at my PC and take my headset off and try to hear the PC I hear nothing. No more fan noise. I used to not mind the minor fan noise that came from my PC, but compared to how quiet it is now those stock coolers are loud.

    Another thing im quite impressed with is just how well it cools. I went from idling in the mid 50s down to low 40s and sometimes even lower into the high 30s if I have my AC on and my room is cooler. Just idling is almost a 20 degree difference on my system. And of course under load it maintains an almost 20 degree difference between stock and this cooler.

    I've yet to hit 60 degrees while playing any game since I've installed this cooler. It barely gets above the mid 50 degree range under load and I've tested multiple games and over a longer period of time and it maintained its temp in that range. I've kept an eye on temps ever since I've installed it and over the course of a week or so temps have not returned to pre cooler levels. So you know its not a fluke.

    My biggest complaint is that the instructions that it comes with aren't exactly crystal clear and it took me a minute or two to sit and make out what exactly the pictures were supposed to be depicting. However, a quick video search on youtube cleared things right up and I got it installed. Over all not too complicated of an install. Its all fairly straight forward once you understand what to do. One thing to keep an eye on is the size of this bad boy. While it wasnt quite as big as I was expecting, it is still pretty big. Make sure you look at its dimensions and know the dimensions of your case to ensure that it will fit in with the panels on.

    This cooler does come with some thermal paste with which to apply and install the cooler but I had some higher quality stuff laying around from a previous mother board upgrade/replacement so I used it instead. I'm not sure of the quality of the thermal paste that comes with the cooler but I'd probably spend a couple extra bucks and buy you a high quality paste alongside your order of this cooler just to be safe.

    I should note that previously I only had 2 case fans installed in my case. Both of which were exhaust fans. When I ordered this cooler I ordered a double pack of the fans found at this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S10KK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    So this cooler isn't the sole upgrade I did and I have since ordered another single pack of the fan I linked and a molex adapter so I'll now go from just 2 exhaust fans to 3 intake and 2 exhast. My point is, your differences may not be as drastic as mine as I've made other cooling upgrades to aid this cooler, even then the cooler itself has proven to be putting in work. I wish I would've gotten one sooner.

    5 star would recommend and would buy again if I ever did another build.

    The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler delivers impressive performance for its price point. Installation was quick and easy, with clear instructions that made the process smooth. The 120mm PWM fan provides excellent airflow and keeps my CPU temperatures under control even during heavy usage, such as gaming and multitasking.

    The build quality is solid, featuring aluminum fins and four copper direct contact heat pipes. These work together to efficiently dissipate heat away from the CPU, and I noticed a significant temperature drop compared to my stock cooler. For the price, it’s hard to find a better-performing air cooler.

    The fan operates quietly, with the PWM function adjusting speeds according to the CPU's temperature. Even under load, the noise level is low and doesn’t become distracting. The cooler is also compact, fitting comfortably in most cases, though I recommend checking the dimensions if you’re working with a smaller case.

    It’s compatible with both AMD Ryzen and Intel CPUs, making it a versatile choice for different builds. While the thermal paste included works fine, upgrading to a higher-quality paste could provide better thermal performance, though that’s a minor consideration for most users.

    Satisfaction with Packaging: The cooler was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.

    Likelihood of Recommending: I highly recommend this cooler to anyone on a budget who needs reliable and effective cooling.

    Price Reasonableness: The Hyper 212 Evo is extremely affordable for the level of cooling performance it offers, providing great value.

    5.0 out of 5 stars CPU temperature went from 80c to 30c! Incredible Fan.

    I had a liquid cooler on my 8 years-old system, and although it is expected to see the cooler dip in performance a little, my CPU was going up to 85 degrees almost all the time we used it with any professional editing software. So after so much research and rave about the Hyper 212 Evo, I went ahead and bought, and boy oh boy what transformation this has made! Absolutely in love with this fan.

    Pros:
    - Easy to install on my 2011 socket CPU system
    - Very quiet and efficient
    - Well priced and very cheap compared to everything else
    - Temperature is now around 30 - 40 degrees max at any moment
    - Everything included in the package

    Cons (Kind of):
    - It is huge, so make sure it fits and you don't have large RAM chips with heatsinks or such
    - Doesn't fit easily with most sockets. Mine was a 2011 socket so it was easy to install

    Excelente discipador, cumple con las 3 B
    Bueno: enfría de maravilla, y mantiene constante la temperatura. De 50-60°C pase a 40-50°C
    Bonito: hace ver a tu PC súper poderosa con semejante tamaño y diseño que tiene
    Barato: el precio es súper accesible.

    Lo malo fue que:
    -Al instalarlo cuesta trabajo pues quedó muy justo y en cierto punto me dió miedo que por atornillarlo de un lado se fuera a romper la MB o dañar el procesador.
    Está en X, por lo que debes atornillar por puntas contratias ; arriba a la izquierda, luego abajo a la derecha, arriba a la derecha, luego abajo a la izquierda. Y debes atornillar poco cada punto, justo para que no se safe y ya que las 4 puntas quedaron en su lugar, sean atornilladas por completo. De no hacerlo así, se sufre mucho. (En pocas palabras, no atornilles por completo una punta y luego atornilles por completo otra, porque las demás se alzan y te constará mucho poder atornillarlas).
    - Hay que tener cuidado con las medidas. En mi caso, el discipador se quedó sólo con un ventilador pues si le ponía otro, chocaba con las memorias RAM.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Aussie heat? No problem!

    I always wondered why my budget gaming PC never really performed how it should have... What was the problem you ask? It didn't have a Hyper 212 Evo aftermarket cooler keeping that CPU temperature down.

    What did this cooler do that the stock cooler couldn't?
    1) It dropped the idle temperature of my PC from around 65C down to 30-35C and the under load temperatures from 75-80C to 45-50C. Why is this important? Well...
    2) My PC can now reach a stable 60FPS on most games from medium-high settings when it was dropping down to 40 previously. Why? When a CPU reaches its maximum safe operating temperature (in my case 80C) then it throttles performance to reduce the temperature.
    3) Sound! This was an unexpected surprise but my PC doesn't sound like a train going through a tunnel when playing video games because this cooler is QUIET!
    4) Easy installation! Again, i'm a fairly new player in the realm of PC building so when you tell me that I can use a single screwdriver to complete the entire uninstall and install process of my CPU cooler then that's awesome! However, i will say that the manual can be confusing at times and doesn't explain some of the nuance stuff like not to disturb the thermal paste, how to adjust the screws for the different socket types (AM3, AM4, LG, etc)... But that's what YouTube is for right?

    TL:DR There's a reason that everyone online recommends this particular cooler, it's cheap, it's effective and you'll notice a difference between the stock cooler and the Hyper 212 Evo immediately! If i do build a completely new PC from scratch then i'll be buying this one again!

    Edit: Ordered another cooler and this time around the product arrived both opened and the box was damaged as if it had been looked through and tossed around... Unacceptable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing cooler and great value. Reviews don't do this cooler justice... watch videos to make installing this easy.
    Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2016
    I've bought 3 of these so far. At first I bought one and was so impressed with it and its performance I bought 2 more to replace default coolers on other cpus I had.

    First one I got, I put on my 2600k i7 CPU. This cpu overclocks extremely easily, so i was able to hit 4.5 ghz, and running prime95 (maximum heat test small FFT) for 30+ minutes, the highest core temp spike was 69 celcius, but on average the temps were barely over 60c. I even clocked it at 4.6ghz, and the temps were still below 70 on average. I couldn't believe it to be honest, because I have an Corsair h60 water cooler on another 2600k cpu, and its heat is over 10 degrees celcius hotter and runs into the mid to high 70s on that water cooler... just an amazing cooler.

    Alright, the second cooler I replaced my AMD 8120 8 core cpu cooler, with this one running at 3.7 ghz. With this cooler, it had to be put in a bit different and rotated 90 degrees because thats how the motherboard socket was made on this motherboard, but there was no problem at all with memory running it this way... but some large heatsink memory could have a problem, since it does overlap a bit into 2 memory slots when forced into this 90 degree turned placement. Anyways, temps on my old cpu cooler that came with my cpu were on average 68c. After replacing it with the Evo, the load temps went down to 49c. Both tests done 30 minutes under full load in prime95. I replaced the fan that came with the Evo with a Noctua 1200rpm fan, and its temps only went up slightly to 52c.

    I really like the high tension the bracket has on the cooler. Once you have this installed, it doesn't move or budge at all, its got super tight contact with the CPU... but with that, make sure you try to tighten the mounting bracket as evenly as possible so it doesn't put too much pressure on one side of the CPU, watch the youtube videos on how to screw this on properly, don't be a know it all and do it brainless. Some people said its hard to mount this, but its not hard, i found this easy to do since I watched some youtube videos to verify i did it right.

    This also comes with an extra fan bracket incase you wanted to put another fan on the cooler. The tests i ran, this didn't help that much in temps... but in a tight case with limited airflow, it probably would help push air out better... its worth testing if you have an extra fan to see if having another fan hooked up is worth it or not.

    You can mount the fan in either push or pull, and if your rams preventing from using a push setup, pull setup works fine. I didn't notice any big difference in pull, but personally i do prefer push.

    Ok. Only negative thing I can mention about this cooler, is the fan is a bit loud at full rpm (1500rpm). However, its very hard to get the cpu hot enough to even have this run at full rpm since it cools so well, and also you can adjust the fan speed in your motherboard if you really wanted to. Or buy a fan controller and force it whatever speed you want. Or buy a high quality Noctua fan and have it really quiet... which depends if the noise is enough to warrant that... which probably won't for most since its not loud at all until it goes full blast.

    Also, the manual that comes with this cooler is very basic and doesn't help much with instalation. I recommend you watch a couple youtube videos to make sure you install this properly. You have to make sure the bracket is properly set ontop of the heatskink for it to lock in perfectly. It was a bit confusing since this includes the 2011 mounting screws, and they aren't marked at all, you just have to carefully look at them to tell which is which, youtube videos will make it clear which are the 2011 screws... once you identify them, keep them somewhere else so you don't use them... unless you are using a 2011 board.

    The price is great here, and I did read reviews on this cooler and i doubt their results since all the temps I was getting were far below what I saw on some reviews of this. I'm saving the last one i have and will probably eventually replace my h60 water cooler with it since its over 5 years old and maybe losing some of its performance from liquid evaporation or pump weakening.

    On another note, my main PC currently is a 4770k, but its a poorly made cpu compared to the second gen intels, so I actually would more likely go for an overkill air cooler like the Noctua D14 or D15s if you were to cool a poorly manufactored cpu like the 4th gen intels since they heat up so quickly... currently i use a Corsair H110 on my 4770k, and even that can barely keep it cool at only 4.4ghz. Although, the H110 doesn't have the heavy tension this Evo cooler had when installing it, which makes me wonder if the tighter contact of a cooler like this would outperform the H110 even? Hard to know.

    Lastly, I used MX4 thermal compound, and not the stuff they provided, which im sure works fine also.
