    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.

    Amazing cooling, short screws

    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.

    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!"

    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.

    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.

    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.

    good replacement for AMD stock cooler

    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.

    One of the best cpu fans ive ever purchased! Im nee to the tall vertical mount coolers like this one and its just great. My ryzen 5 5600g on the stock fan when on max cpu loads for loading or caching shader would go almost to 80 Celsius even at 60 fps, but after installing this? Not even breaking 60 on max loads TRULY it has great heat dissipation and cooling for the price there is better but this is pretty good for the price.

    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!!.

    Cooler Master Fan- CPU

    Boss fan, its real quiet, and keeps my CPU processor cool. The instructions are detailed, and pictures; as you have to assemble the correct chassis, AMD or INTEL; The fan is versatile, and can be mounted in a 'push' or 'pull' configuration; or additional fan (purchased separately) if additional air-cooling is necessary for your build. I got this fan, as the processor is capable of over-clocking when I need it.
