Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall the cooler has worked great. My temps have been right within range with it. The fan is pretty quiet and it was all fairly easy to install. It does come with some thermal paste that has worked fine as well, nothing fancy.

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.

My old computer's Intel heatsink was shaken off during shipping. I originally just wanted to reapply thermal paste, but I found it was better to just replace it with a brand new heatsink. It's cost-effective, quiet, and easy to install.

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.

Works great! Cools my cpu very well and was easy to install

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.

Works great i still have it in my gaming pc! It was pretty easy to install as well.

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.

quiet price was good its takes a minute to figure how it fits on cpu but works well

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.

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.

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.

Installing is easy because instructions are outstanding. All parts are in box. will fit all modern mother boards.

The price for performance is outstanding keeps temps at around 30 to 32 degrees vs the stock cooler at 40 45. I have 2 fans running and don't hardly hear anything spinning. Install was fairly simple you do have to get underneath mobo and the clips could be better seem flimsy and cheap. I prefer the plastic backplate vs a metal previously that other hyper 212's models use so the mobo doesn't short out. I like the black color scheme. These coolers are the kings of stable performance and price been using for years!!.

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.

Great Cooler compared to a box cooler from Intel, lowered my temps dramatically. Installation was kinda difficult but I place some of the blame on me.
