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.

Easy to set up The clips were a little bit weird to put on at first but i quickly figured it out soon after, Fan is quiet and keeps temps very reasonable (45-55 idling/ browsing or working, 60-65 on more stressful tasks like gaming)

The 212 has been my go to cooler for almost 10 years now. The black edition keeps my money coming now being the most affordable cooler out there that can keep my cpu at good temperatures. I was able to use this with LGA 1200 with the same hardware and no modifications. Not overclocking and dont see any crazy thermal throttling.

Budget friendly air fan is pretty good! Especially for my girlfriend’s Ryzen 5 3600. This $30 cooler master exceeded my expectations! I’m sure it can cool any cpu at the 65w TDP RANGE as well.

I would Recommend this Air cooler for anyone who plans on gaming or editing if you're on a bit of a budget. For the price, it performs extraordinarily well. I was running on a Ryzen 5 3600 at stock frequency and with the stock cooler and idle temperatures were in the low to mid 40's C. After switching to this cooler, it's now running at a relatively stable 34 C WITH the 3600 overclocked to 4.2 GHz. In fact, it rarely gets above 70 C when maxed out when gaming at higher resolutions with raytracing enabled (my GPU is the Asus Dual 3060 ti). The highest I have ever seen it peak was at 73 C with Battlefield V high settings at 1440p with RTX enabled. But it usually hovers around 68-69 C with those settings. The Hyper 212 is truly a beast at its price range, and for most people, a better option than even most $100 liquid coolers. It shines best when you have a good airflow case. I have the CoolerMaster NR600 with both case fans that come with it as well as one extra corsair fan at the front. The NR600 is also a cheaper air flow case ($70). Higher quality cases will yield even better results. Again, fantastic product for a fantastic price.

Exellent choice for my situation. It was a bit of a challenge to install but it is now working as expected. My intel i7-10700 CPU is now running at lease 20 degrees C cooler when running MSFS 2024.

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

I had prebuilt desktop PC that had horrible cooling. Even the thermals being repasted on the cpu, it was running at 88-91 temps while gaming. I grabbed one of these cpu coolers for $30 and BOOM…70-75 temps all day long even under heavy load. Tip: just make sure your case is large enough, becuase this cooler is about the size of a softball.

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.

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

I bought this at my local Best Buy for about $50. I used a Noctua fan I had instead of the fan it came with. They seem to be a good match. Doing a good job of keeping my i7-8700k cool. Runs quiet. I'm very happy with my purchase. Only issue I had was with the clips that are used to connect the fan to the unit, they had me talking to myself. But it all worked out well in the end.

Great cooler. I had a computer with a stock cooler and a cramped case. The CPU was heating up to 95c and throttling. With this cooler and a more roomy case the CPU runs 30c cooler maxed out. It also doesn't make a lot of noise.

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!"

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.

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.

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.

Keeps temps really cool and looks clean. Very good quality item! Just make sure it fits in your case!! It could be too big for some cases! Very good value for your money!

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. Quiet. Great experience with Geek Squad.
