I don't even remember the series I originally bought this to cool. I purchased it September 2012 off of Amazon. I'm pretty sure the first generation I cooled with this was a 3rd gen Intel I7. I know that the second system I used it in was to cool a 6700k which it handled fantastically. I retired the 6700k for the 8700k, which I eventually delidded, swapped for a copper IHS with liquid metal instead of paste. I also at that time "upgraded" to a DeepCool Castle 240ex for overclocking. I don't recall how long that DeepCool lasted, but I can say that my Hyper 212 is currently cooling that 8700k which is currently being run as a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) linux server and still maintains 50C, 58C hotspot, under 90% load. I did swap the fan for a Noctua, but the cooler master fan did last a decade.
This may just be the best cooler ever designed in terms of price for performance.
It's just too bad it won't be viable for the 12th/13th I7 gen power hogs Intel has created, though I believe it has been tested to, and performs well with lower core count 12th/13th gen chips.
I would definitely still recommend this product today for it's proven longevity and durability, but would recommend it checking to make sure it can handle the thermal load (TDP) of your processor first.

Thermalright Direct 2
On this computer build, I had read that the stock fan may be alright if you don't modify the chip any. I didn't buy an unlocked chip, to keep it running in stock form. I had looked into liquid cooling, but read that it's okay, but don't rely on it alone. So, back to a big cooler & fan. Cooler Master of course.I have been adding these Cooler Master Hyper & EVO type fans to my builds for years, because I want to really cool off the chip. This radiator-heat sink & fan combo does that very well. For added cooling, they include the mounting for an additional fan.I have read that the stock fan/cooler cools the chip to around (80°C) 176°F which isn't a bad temp for a chip. I believe that "normal" operating temps of things is around 180°F. But still. . . at 34°C (93°F), my computer is a little heater, I couldn't imagine how hot the small room would be with out this Cooler in place! Just surfing it's around (28-30°C) 82-86°F.When I start using the computer for 3D programs or video intense games, the temps get up to 98°F (37°C). Some of that I'm sure is from the big video card, pushing up heat from below.This isn't a quiet fan. None of them (that I bought) are. Of course, the speed can be adjusted, but it doesn't quiet it down much at all, & too low will have the temps rise quickly, needing more flow & speed. So I knock off one star for that, because it's 2020, & quiet fans are as common as quiet mice & keyboards.This thing is huge! It is very tall & will not fit quite a few cases. When you measure, include the mobo, the chip, the stand-offs, if your case doesn't have the specs for fan/cooler height listed. On my case, all that I needed to do was lower the side panel fan.Mounting Cooler Master radiator-heat sinks can be daunting. Take your time, especially if this is your first couple builds. I, myself, use a piece of cellophane tape as a third hand till I can get the four screws to start threading. It helps hold the unit in place, so that I'm not sliding off the chip & making a mess of the thermal paste. This build, I used what was included with the fan, not another brand.I have found an old membership card does the "icing" way better than an frozen treat stick. Apply the thermal paste as evenly as you can. I like to apply a thin layer to both sides. That is, the cooler (copper) & the chips surface. Then I squeeze out about half, level it out, then apply the remaining thermal paste. Lower the radiator/cooler with the fan already in place. It really isn't that heavy to lift.I do give the thermal paste about 10 minutes at first, than about an hour or two. Then I check the screws before putting the mobo in to the case.I haven't ever had to re-apply thermal paste to a Cooler Master cooler in all of the years I have been using them exclusively. Quality thermal paste & attention are what is important to these high quality parts.

Si tienes duda en si existe alguna diferencia entre el "Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition" y este "Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition with LGA1700", la respuesta es no, a excepción de que, como se especifica en el nombre del producto, este incluye las monturas necesarias para el socket LGA1700 de Intel.
Menciono esto porque el "Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition" está alrededor de $1,000 MXN más caro que el "Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition with LGA1700", por lo que si tienes la oportunidad de adquirir este por un precio mucho menor o más "estándar" (como debería ser incluso con el primero), hazlo, ya que es básicamente lo mismo.
Pude instalarlo sin ningún inconveniente en una tarjeta madre B450M DS3H con un Ryzen 5 5600X (socket AM4) y debo decir que el proceso fue relativamente sencillo si lo comparo con la instalación del cooler de stock de los procesadores Ryzen de AMD, que a mí siempre se me ha hecho muy estresante.
Considera el tamaño del disipador antes de comprarlo y verifica que cabe en tu gabinete. En mi caso entró sin problemas ocupando incluso los 4 slots para RAM que incluye mi tarjeta madre.
Lo combiné con una pasta térmica Arctic MX-4 y 3 ventiladores frontales, 1 trasero y 2 en la parte superior y las temperaturas me sorprendieron para bien.
En un modo de "reposo" o con poca carga (5 % - 10 %), el Ryzen 5 5600X obtiene temperaturas que no pasan los 40°C, estando usualmente en unos 36°C - 38°C
En juegos poco demandantes como Fortnite con gráficos altos obtengo temperaturas de alrededor de los 60°C
En juegos más demandantes como GTA V con gráficos al máximo no sobrepasa los 70°C (utilizando el disipador stock de AMD llegaba incluso a los 80°C en este caso)
Claramente las temperaturas pueden variar dependiendo del juego, la configuración gráfica que uses, la temperatura ambiente en donde esté tu PC y la configuración de ventilación que tengas en tu gabinete, pero esos son mis resultados.
En cuanto a ruido debo decir que es bastante silencioso para el desempeño que ofrece.
(El video que adjunto es solo para mostrar los efectos RGB del producto y el tamaño que ocupa en mi equipo y no para mostrar el ruido que hace el disipador, ya que al momento de grabación del video estaba lloviendo afuera y este no reprenenta para nada el sonido del disipador).
Espero que mi reseña te haya sido de utilidad para decidirte a comprar este gran cooler :D
