Such a great value CPU cooler for Ryzen 5 or 9000 series CPU's. Very easy to use, works great and even keeps 5700/5800X3D CPU's idling at 30C! What a great price too!

I purchased this for my 11th generation i5 processor (locked). It does an excellent job at keeping the CPU cool on demanding loads while remaining silent.
It is a tad bit tricky to install, and does take up a considerable amount more of space than the stock cooler. However once it's in there, it works great. I would not recommend this for overclocked processors, but for standard Intel processors, this is much much better than the stock cooler.

Pros: Option of adding an addition fan. Thermo paste, does what it was designed to do
Overall Review: Taking into account the size, be prepared to have to remove the fan. That is, if you intend on populating slot A1. A quick workaround would be placing the fan on the opposite side of the heatsink. This configuration will pull air through the heatsink, as opposed to pushing the air through the heatsink. Motherboard: Asus H570. Another option would be to purchase low profile memory modules.
Best Buy's Specifications: Little to be desired. No mention of sockets this product will fit. I don't know about you, but I do not like playing the guessing game.
Intel LGA 2066 / 2011-v3 / 2011 / 1700 / 1366 / 1200 / 1156 / 1155 / 1151 / 1150
AMD Socket AM4 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 / FM2+ / FM2 / FM1

Easy to install cooler for intel and Amd cpus. I used this on an old intel i7 cpu and it is massive but as a consequence provides great cooling performance. Im running my computer doing cpu crypto mining and it is very stable. That being said make sure your case can support a cooler this tall (160mm high) so check your case spec before buying.

It was easy to install, especially the fan with the clip ons. I like the variability in motherboard .support and it’s a strong less beefy tower-cooler.

I've bought two of these coolers over the past several years. They have always been reliable, quiet, and come in at an unbeatable price. I've had zero issues keeping a Ryzen 5 9600x cool at near-silent fan speeds. The included thermal paste is a nice benefit.

Bought this due to upgrading to a R7 7700X. Even with overclocking my CPU, this cooler is up for the task. By far one of the better Air coolers I have used. Easy to install, comes with everything you need including thermal paste. I highly recommend this cooler for lower grade CPU’s (below 100 watt TDP)

Was on the fence on processor cooling with my budget PC build (with a recycled CPU, among other things). I was very tempted to hack up the old case that the CPU came from so I could reuse the original cooling, but when I realized I didn't have any reinforced Dremel wheels I decided to just buy this instead.
And I'm glad I did! This thing is not small (especially in a mini ATX) and was slightly tedious to install, but very much worth it. Runs very cool and quiet.
If you don't feel like installing water cooling, this is a solid choice.

Very affordable air cooler for your CPU. Perfect for the 65w TDP CPUs but I would not use a 105w+ CPU with this as it only has 8 heat pipes and 1 fan. Otherwise great budget cooler for your budget gaming builds.

this cooler is overall very very good for the price especially if your looking to replace an AMD stock cooler (wraith spire/stealth). the wraith prism has about the same cooling as the 212. I upgraded my wraith stealth stock cooler and I was getting 50 - 55c idle, now im getting around 30-40c.

Works great, bolted to my am4 motherboard, come with different fit options for intel and amd, keeps my 7 3700x at a nice crisp 65 to 70 Celsius while gaming

Cools amazingly (sits around 55°C when playing games). Only bad part was ease of installation- the main screws are a little short, and are hard to start threading. Make sure to use a long screwdriver so you can come down onto the screw from directly above without the cooling fins getting in the way. Other than that, perfect product.

I have this paired with an MSI PRO B650-P WIFI and a Ryzen 7 9700X running Linux Mint 22.2 "Zara". Works fine for my purposes. With that said, wouldn't mind doubling up the heatsink and fans for even more cooling and quiet operation.

I upgraded my desktop with the Cooler Master-Hyper 212 120mm CPU Cooling fan. It is quiet and stealth, and easily gets the job done. I now call it the "Iceman!"
