Customer Ratings & Reviews

It worked great and it was easy to install. The directions were clear.

Definitely keeps the CPU cool however, when this thing gets running it’s loud.. My previous Noctua’s fans weren’t anywhere as loud it seems. I’ll definitely be changing out the fans themselves at some point.

Fantastic cooling capabilities! I did buy another fan so I could have one on each side. CPU stays well under 60° on full load while under 30° idle. This CPU cooler is also very quiet. Almost silent. Bought it on sale and is the best bang for your buck cooler in my opinion.

This product works well but the install is difficult and time consuming. The product comes with a lot of parts for many different configurations. This is a slight problem as you have to set the back plate up for your application. Doing this was a problem for me as the instructions do not show great detail even to the point where it is possible to install it incorrectly. I highly suggest you install the cpu fan power connector prior to installing the heat sink, if you wait till the instructions tell you too it will be much harder unless you have large needle nose pliers. Also take note how the fan clips to the heat sink as this took me 20 minutes to put on as the flimsy wires like to fall off the fan. I do appreciate how the fan can be mounted either side as it will not install on my ram side too close to the ram. This air fan replaces a faulty water cooled unit and the temp times are very close to my water temps when it worked normally. I also appreciate that you get thermal paste included. Really there is not much else you need, even a special tool that came with unit to tighten hex screens by using a normal Philip's head and the special tool that is supplied. I would buy this product again.

Fantastic cooler. A little bit of a pain to install as it involved having to have access to the rear of the motherboard but very happy with the finished product. Core temps of my i7-10700 at idle now run around 26C-30C degrees and literally no noise from the fan at all.

Amazing cooler for the price. Easy to install IF you watch a how to video. Keeps a non-overclocked 3600X nice and cool after playing for hours every day. Always checking the temperature cuz I'm paranoid like that. The cpu cooler does what its supposed to do, COOL the CPU.

Works great! Easy to assemble once you separate all the parts. Makes sure to keep it clean! It is a bit chunky so be sure it can fit in your case. In most scenarios it will fit. Good for a push pull configuration as well. Make sure to clean it!

I really liked this product since I wanted to upgrade my stock cpu fan, it does a decent job and installation was easy just don’t tighten to much or you might bend your board. Other then that great price and does what it supposed too.

Had to buy this because the stock cooler with my CPU was not working properly. This is great keeps my CPU nice and cool. The metal clips are a pain to put on. Also check the dimensions of you motherboard. It does cover my first ram slot

Great fan, keeps it cool and quiet and was easy installation

I've used the Hyper 212, in its various editions, for several years. The installation is likely somewhat difficult if you've never used a bulkier cooler such as this, especially if you're doing alone. You're somewhat blind to where the heatsink needs to line up with the screws from the mounting plate. Once installed though it performs just as one would hope. It's an exceptionally reliable and long lasting product. I've recently purchased this model for a third machine build of mine. It's convenient in that it's quick and simple. The sound output is fairly negligible though if you're quite sensitive to any additional noise then a closed liquid 120-240mm system is likely better for you. Do note however that regardless of whatever cooling system you use, your temps will always be most affected by your ambient room temperature.

Easy to install and very cost effective! Doing great and keeping my 5070 cool!

I personally have upgraded from a stock AMD cooler (Wraith Prism) and I went to this cooler because I saw how the price to performance was from benchmark comparisons, and I must say, it's no joke! This is a phenomenal cooler, and it truly shows with how much more auto OC I can get out of Ryzen Master. I'm running a Ryzen 7 3800X, and as viable as the stock cooler is, it's just not enough in the long run. This cooler is that one that you need. I will say, as much as I love this cooler, I absolutely HATE installing a single fan, let alone running a 2 fan setup on this. The brackets to install the fan are cheaply made. They still work, mind you, but keep in mind it will be frustrating to install/reinstall a fan.

So quiet, especially when set to quiet in BIOS. I built this into a new PC build, there was a hum from the box, thought it was this cooler. Boy was I wrong, my PSU had a max mode... I changed it to Eco mode, and am now a far happier man.

Works like a charm, easy to install, and noticed a significant decrease of heat coming from my computer.

Excellent quality and silent like a ninja. Keeping all my temps where they need to be for my Intel i7 9700k. works like a charm

This cooler is silent and keeps my CPU 15-20 degrees cooler while gaming over my old stock cooler.

Go to for the standard of aftermarket cooling. Excellent product that gets the job done everytime with any chip.

I put this Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition in my PC rig, the black color looks very clean in my setup (as opposed to simple unpainted silver cooling fins). I attached this CPU cooling fan assembly to a MSI Z490 Gaming Carbon WiFi on top of an Intel i7-10700 CPU. The fan is very quiet and the black color of the entire unit does not distract from the RGB colors operating within the the PC case. So far, the CPU cooler appears to be doing the job. If needed, I could attach fan to other side of the cooling fins as well, hardware to hold the second fan is included. I appreciated that in the bag of screws was a small tube of thermal paste, I was glad that I did not have to buy that separately. Overall quality feels very good.

Nice quality and easy to install. Comes with thermal paste with good instructions. Was a replacement for a water cooler i got on a pre-built. Does a good job cooling.
