The Cooler Master - Hyper 212 120mm CPU Cooling Fan - Black Edition worked as advertised. This was just used until my new AIO came in. Only issue I had was that I couldn't use my vertical GPU mount for my graphics card as the unit was too large to allow the mount to fit. Not a real issue but i wasn't happy that I had to place my card in the PCie slot. Temps were fine on the CPU and never did I have any issues. Fan was not loud at all. Overall a soild unit.

I recently built my first gaming pc and decided on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition. After a few weeks of use, I’m thoroughly impressed with both its performance and presentation. Installation & Build Quality The installation process was surprisingly straightforward. The mounting system is intuitive, and everything you need is included in the box. Whether you're experienced or a first-time builder, you shouldn’t run into issues. Once installed, the cooler feels solid and secure, with no unnecessary flex or movement. Aesthetics Visually, this cooler is a standout. The all-black design, from the heatsink to the fan and brackets, gives it a sleek, modern look that blends beautifully into any build—especially darker or RGB-lit setups. It adds a touch of understated style without being flashy. Performance Most importantly, the Hyper 212 Black Edition does an excellent job at keeping temperatures in check. My CPU stays cool even under load, and what's just as impressive is how quiet the fan is while doing it. It runs almost silently, even during intensive tasks or gaming sessions, which is a huge plus for anyone sensitive to noise or using their PC in a quiet environment. Conclusion Overall, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition offers outstanding value. It combines easy installation, effective cooling, and premium aesthetics in a very affordable package. For anyone looking to upgrade their stock cooler or build a quiet, good-looking rig, this cooler is a top-tier choice.

I have a 5950x. The other cooler I had, 92mm heatsink and fan, stock speeds, 3.4ghz stock ac, 4.5ghz ac and 4.9ghz oc, at full load was around 80-84c. With this cooler and a Delta AFB1212GHE-CF00, keeps it cool around 70c with oc at 4.7ghz ac full load. I also have five of those case fans running at 100% all the time, yes it is loud as heck and yes I wear ear protection any time using my pc. But the results are amazing. I am also running a 4090 and even at full load, I am staying around 50-52c, which is great for air cooling. I am also drawing 750-900watts from the wall on full load. Anyway, get this cooler and pair it with that delta fan and you will be set for cooling. I am assuming you understand and have conpleted the CompTIA 220-xxxx cert and know what your doing. https://www.newegg.com/delta-afb1212ghe-cf00-case-fan/p/N82E16835213001

Does the job well and is easy to install. The product comes with a tube of CryoFuze thermal paste.

I ended up going with this over the rgb for a black build and I would say I’m overall impressed. Keeps temps below 70 Celsius on most anything i throw at it. This cooler is also surprisingly quiet for the price and performance.

Way better than a faulty liquid-cooled one. I replaced the bad liquid cooler on my PC. The process was fast and super easy. My PC is running cooler than before and quieter.

This is a great cooler for its looks and price. Runs super quiet and performs very well. It provides the build with a very aesthetic appearance and solid build.

Ever since I installed the 120 mm Hyper 212 Black Edition, my CPU has stayed cool—even during intense gaming sessions. The installation was simple, and its compatibility with both AMD and Intel platforms makes it incredibly versatile. Plus, the sleek black finish adds a professional touch to my setup. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for performance, style, and ease of use in one cooling solution!

Using this until I decide on an AIO. It's currently attached to a 7800x3d that idles around 31°C and may reach mid 70s under load. And it's virtually silent. Well worth the 30 bucks. There's extra clips included for another fan but I haven't needed more than the one

Does very well on 14th gen intel. Included thermal paste works really well

Didn't think it would be enough but proved me wrong not a bad option my cpu temps arnt above 83°c when gaming i have a 14th gen i5 14600k

In love with this cooler and ut keeps my CPU cooled in every AAA game would definitely buy again.

Very simple to install. My older AIO liquid cooled system that came with my computer was failing - either the thermal paste was bad or the pump wasn’t working well, so I replaced it with this unit. Everything you need is in the box including the thermal compound, MasterCool Pro. Previous idle temps were in the low 40’s, with full load temps in the 90’s on an i7-8700K CPU at base clock of 3.7Ghz all-core. Now my idle temps are in the 28-30 range and under full load I hit low to mid 50’s. BIG DIFFERENCE! Also, it’ll clear four DIMMS no problem, even taller ones. So if you’re worried if the fan will interfere with your RAM, don’t sweat it.

Bought to replace kids recently dead h100i AIO on their aging PC. Cooled the CPU more than adequately. Excellent air cooler. Would buy it again.

I went out to grab this version of the Hyper 212 Black edition fan since my older version of the same model (it seems?) was starting to have really weird ramp ups so I decided to purchase this refreshed version of the CPU fan and its working excellent!! (Installing it is pretty simple as well, which I very much so value in addition to other things) Condition is great, the fan is working as intended and my issue was resolved just by replacing the fan. If you're looking to purchase this fan, you will NOT regret it.

People say its too old to be good in 2025, but its keeping my cpu under 60°c so its perfect for me.

Super easy to install, very very quiet, way more mounting hardware options than I will ever need, and keeps my CPU super chilly! Idles at 29 degrees and barely gets over 50 on a full load (i5 9400f). For the price, I really don't see ever needing anything more for a long while. Super happy I upgraded!

My OEM CPU fan was dying and causing overheating issues so I needed a quick replacement. I was a little hesitant to get this one since it was significantly bigger than the original fan, but I've never had trouble with Cooler Master stuff before and I do game a lot, so it was worth getting in the end. I have an MSI B450M Bazooka with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600. This came with all the necessary pieces to install, plus a small tube of thermal paste, which was nice. It was pretty easy to install. I did have to remove my GPU to get the bottom fan bracket on, but that was no problem. The brackets that hold the fan in place had me a little wary at first since they didn't seem super secure, but once I get them on there they were plenty snug. It also comes with extra items in case you want to attach a second fan. This fan is incredibly quiet, even when I'm running intensive games. It also keeps my PC much cooler than my old fan. Even though this was kind of an emergency purchase, overall I'm very pleased with it, and it was an inexpensive upgrade from my original fan. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking to replace your original fan and looking for a middle ground upgrade.

great little cooler for the price. Its done everything i need i always use air cooler just works and the price is great.

Reliable air cooler. Never had any issues and has a relatively simple installation process. Highly recommend to have.
