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 James Jenkins

Pretty good CPU cooler

I just upgraded from an Intel i7 7700k to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x. I knew I wanted a new cooler as I don't have parts for my Hyper 212 cooler. I bought this Hyper 212 RGB BE cooler and found that the instructions were missing. But although the instructions weren't very good, I figured it out. Parts are clearly marked, nothing broke during assembly. The fan is attached to the heatsink and is very easy to lift up to make room for the RAM. The RGB didn't light up the first time, but I found that you need to align the notch on one side of the connector with the leftmost pin on the RGB header. I only use this during the day but everything is fine with my new system. I would recommend this for two reasons. Firstly, Cooler Master has always done a good job with their Hyper 212 series and secondly, this cooler is cheap and efficient. You can do better, but it will probably cost you 2.5x. I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
