Review on Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 by Yagami Iori

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

Before that, I took Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, I thought that it was exactly the same cooler, only with backlight. But I was very wrong. This model loses Evo in all respects. The first thing that catches your eye is a slightly different type of fastening, a solid iron back bar is replaced by a flimsy plastic one, the cooling fins themselves are made of foil and easily bend, unlike evo, where they are thicker and more solid. Therefore, the cooler itself is lighter and its efficiency is lower. The mounting brackets were not thought out, at first I could not understand why this cooler was installed with a bias and the temperature was 20 degrees higher than the old simpler one, it simply clung to the mounting bracket for one heatsink around the processor, with great difficulty I managed to fix it from the 5th attempt so as not to cling to the radiators, but the temperature is still 5 degrees higher than the old cheap one. Previously, evo on a similar processor heated up to 55 degrees, and this one easily allows the processor to go beyond 80 degrees. As a result, it is clear that this is some kind of Chinese fake and a parody of the evo model, losing to it in all respects, and this model is not on the Cooler Master website, unlike evo. Don't be fooled by the backlit fan, the quality of this product is below par. Addition. Then it turned out another unpleasant feature of the wretchedness and ill-conceived fastening. The cylinders are screwed onto the screws from the back bar and scratch the motherboard, as a result, I had scratched the varnish and scratched the tracks, when installing another cooler, similar cylinders closed the scratched tracks and the board almost burned out. It took some more time to troubleshoot, because the board did not work. The cooler itself and its mounting are a diversion. There is nothing like this on the evo model, everything is thought out, the cylinders are motionless and do not scratch anything when installing the cooler. And the funny thing is that such reviews are usually not published. The consumer does not need to know the truth.

Pros
  • Tower type, noise tolerant.
Cons
  • Disgusting quality, both the product itself and the work as a whole.
