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.

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.
