    Great cooling performance for the price and a lot easier install than a liquid cooler.

    This CPU cooler does the trick. Not only it does better cooling than the stock cooler that came with my cpu, but it also quiet. Under load, when rendering a video, it is much quieter than the stock intel cooler. Overall, this should do the trick for your pc.

    The Ever Reliable 212 Evo

    Old reliable. The Evo 212 has been around forever and continues to be the best sub-$30 choice for cooling low- to medium-TDP CPUs. Idle temps on my 5600x are around 40C, maxing out around 80C under load. Can't ask for much more out of a cheap air cooler.

    I put this on an Intel - Core i7-10700K 10th Generation 8-Core - 16-Thread - 3.8 GHz (5.1 GHz Turbo) cpu and stress tested it . It never goes above 75C. Idles at about 40 C. Great cpu cooler if you do not want a water cooled cpu. Installation is sorta cumbersome, but well worth it.

    Can't beat the convenience of being available locally! This cooler has done a good job keeping my i7-7700k build overclocked to 4.8GHz cool and stable. If you can't afford a Noctua cooler or need something now and it's in stock at your local BB store it'll do the job for about 1/2 the Noctua cost. For more extreme overclocks you may want to wait and order a Noctua but it'll get you up and running while you wait for sure.

    A really good option for CPU cooling. A great price and it works really well. Much cooler temps than a stock cooler. Cheaper than water cooling, but similar performance.

    This was a definite upgrade as my stock cooler had push pins that were tearing up my fingers when I would replace the CPU. This one was a great upgrade with a good cooler. I would consider purchasing the RGB option if you ever want to change the look.

    It looks way batter than the original hyper 212 , the black color gives it a really nice appereance , overall the installation es really easy took me about 5 minutes, it really amazed me it kept an i5 9600k at 70 c at stock speeds under a stress test while being really silent

    Very solid cooler! Ive never been a huge fan of heatsink and fan cooling solutions but this hyper 212 with another fan added to it is keeping my Ryzen 7 5800x cool as can be while gaming. Never seen temps go over 75 degrees on a 4.9Ghz overclock and gaming. Room temp is about 74 degrees. Only thing i hated about this cooler is the very annoying clips they give you to hold the fans onto the heatsink

    This thing is amazing. Pulls so much heat and does it quitely. I'm astonished, honest. It only gets loud when I overclock, but that's to be expected. Very much worth the buy. The only problem is it's kinda complicated to put together. Not awful, just held me up in my build for a bit.

    got this for my new pc build and it made an enormous difference in cooling my cpu went down almost 20c from this because the old cooler i had was the stock one that came with my Ryzen cpu 100% worth the price one of the best coolers for the money you can possibly get

    Currently using this cooler on my crypto mining rig. My rig is running an i7 8700 (non k) at 100% constantly all day and it doesn't get over 61 degrees Celsius. Very impressive!!!
