Review on πŸ”₯ Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler & Seagate Barracuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch – Easy-to-Open Packaging (ST2000DM008) by Josh Schweitzer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Even cools 5950x and still looks good!

I'll try to be brief and to the point. This thing is a beast, started cooling from 8700k in stock and 100% usage was 53c oc to 5ghz, seen max 68c and that's with thermal paste not liquidmetal. Now it cools the Big Boy 5950x, and with 100% utilization of all cores its maximum temperature barely reaches 70 degrees! It's liquid metal on IHS so it takes a while to paint the radiator but it's worth it. I was initially skeptical and thought I should buy a Noctua cooler or upgrade to AIO, but as long as I can refrain from getting AIO as I'm just gaming or doing other tasks, it stays below 55C.
