Review on Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 CPU Air Cooler with SickleFlow 120 V2 PWM Fan, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, Compatible with AMD Ryzen and Intel LGA1200/1151 by Joe Unruh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Forget aesthetics, get V2! (and 4 whistles)

OK. I know all black or RBG looks very tempting, but for two bucks less you get a lot more performance with the V2. Main differences?1. Improved mounting bracket.2. Asymmetrical design. Once installed, the fan doesn't hang over your RAM. Taken together, the above two reasons make it almost stupid and easy to install. If my old cooler hadn't ripped my CPU out of its socket, it honestly would have taken me 20 minutes max. I was able to install everything just by pulling out a RAM stick. In terms of performance, no kidding, I see a drop of 20 degrees compared to the stock AMD Wraith Stealth cooler under the same load. (Also don't worry if it gets a little warm and bounces around, that's normal)

Pros
  • Finally bought
