Review on πŸ’¨ Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition RGB CPU Air Cooler with SF120R RGB Fan, Anodized Gun-Metal Black, Brushed Nickel Fins, 4 Copper Heat Pipes for Enhanced Cooling Performance – Compatible with AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1151 Processors by Mark Lowery

Great heatsink but fan died after 2 months

I'm starting to realize that Cooler Master fans are horribly unreliable. Although the heat dissipation is excellent. This significantly reduced the temperature of the processor. The standard AMD Wraith cooler turned out to be junk. And installation was easy. Unfortunately, the fan on this cooler died after 2 months. Although the LEDs still worked. I bought two replacement fans from Cooler Master (MF120 Halo ARGB). One for the processor and one for the back of my case. Less than an hour later (yes, 60 minutes) the fan I had installed on the back of the case died. The LEDs still worked (hooray again), but the fan wouldn't spin anymore. How soon will the same fan die on my CPU, leaving me in the same situation as its previous fan? I love their stuff too, I'm using their case (MB520 ARGB) and the 3 fans in it have been running for a few months now. But I'm still starting to lose faith in her fans in general. They seem to have terrible quality control.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Big and bulky
