Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with all items needed? Thermal paste, and backplate for motherbaord, etc...?

Asked 6 years ago by Thatdude1256.

• A:Answer The kit comes with everything you need to install on an AMD or Intel chip. It includes all the pieces and parts for a complete install. Although I bought a higher level of thermal paste in addition to what was in the package. I had a liquid cooling system that failed and bought this more as a test then a long term fix. After install (and the addition of an additional fan) it works as well if not better than the liquid cooler. I am very happy.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with AM4 retention brackets? My previous heatsink didn't use them and I can't find them. Or does anyone know if best buy just sells those stand alone?

Asked 5 years ago by Nightshade.

• A:Answer Comes with all you need to mount for AM4. Even used the factory backing plate form the mobo instead of some janky adapter setup. Very easy to install.

Q: QuestionCompatible with I9-9900K?

Asked 5 years ago by Phionaa.

• A:Answer It will work with that cpu. I've just installed one on an I7 and given it a good workout. Stays nice and cool. As they are adaptable, even if you find you I9 getting too warm and opt for a liquid cooler, you can always put this aside, as it uses 120 mm fans fits anything just about. You can also run it with 2 120 mm fans, one sucking, the other blowing, for a nice flow through ventilation.

Q: QuestionWhat is the max CPU Wattage this cooler supports?

Asked 3 months ago by Wattage.

• A:Answer The Cooler Master Hyper 212 series generally supports CPUs with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) between 150W and 220W, depending on the specific model (e.g., Pro, Black Edition, Halo). While some variants claim up to 250W capacity, they are best suited for processors operating under 150W–180W for optimal, non-throttled performance.
