and I guess according to one user online wear a freaking oven mitt in case you burn your hand grabbing that heat sink. this website seems to recommend the same model number based on the amazon link they give as an okay "budget cooler"Īnd in this youtube video assuming this guy is using the same model number cooler as what I am using (that setup he's using looks identical to what I have in terms of the X shaped mounting bracket, backplate and screws) then looks like I'm all setĪlthough some people online say run your PC for 30 minutes. I'm trying to decide if it's worth saving some money and just re-using this on say a Ryzen 5 5600x processor (to give an example ). here's the newegg link to the webpage product listing from back when I bought itĪnd I should point out that I don't think this is the "version 2" newer model I think it's the older one. Still, it's nice to have that option.My PC currently has the somewhat old (purchased year 2018) " Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 " model number RR-212E-20PK-R2. They do give you a second fan bracket, but I didn't see any improvement in cooling performance with a push-pull configuration.
The thermal compound included is decent, but for high voltages/OC I would recommend something better. Note that access to the rear of the motherboard is required to mount the backplate, so depending on your case configuration removing the motherboard may be required. Mounting isn't as easy as some other aftermarket coolers out there, but it's totally manageable.
However, under normal loads the fan is quiet, and still delivers sufficient airflow to cool my CPU. It tends to generate a howling sound above 80%. Noise levels are a bit high when the fan nears maximum speed. My ambient room temperature is generally around 26C.
Load temperatures in games and normal programs are around 65C max, while synthetic stress testing will see around 75C. Temperatures are pretty good, I'm pushing 1.250V through my i5 4670K to maintain 4.3GHz (I got a below average chip). I've found that the EVO outperforms the more recent versions of the 212, such as the 212 Black Edition. This has been my go-to aftermarket cooler even after all these years.
