Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPU Air Cooler, SickleFlow 120 Edge PWM Fan, Aluminum Top Cover, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, 152mm Tall, AMD Ryzen AM5/AM4, Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200 Brackets

Ever Since I saw this CPU Cooler!! I had to have it!! For a want vs a need!! I saved $100 too the side for when it first came available! I was on a AIO Water Cooler for 5 years time to replace it from Water Cooling since air is more reliable in the long run! This CPU Cooler is my favorite air cooler!! Wanted it ever since I saw it!! It does its Job excellent! I got 128 GB’s of DDR4 RAM, the clearance wasn’t an issue but you can take the fan off so it doesn’t interfere with the RAM! I got low profile RAM, I have Socket 1700 Intel 12th Gen i7 12th 700KF CPU and a 3060Ti ya ya people hate the 3060Ti I know, I love this Air Cooler so much for my Future builds I will Buy this Air Cooler all the time! Yes you might need to go into your Bios and then change the fan speeds to about 1900 RPM on some Systems, better to use Bios vs downloading something! It has Zero RGB!! Since I stare at my monitor than I do vs my PC!!

I was seriously starting to regret my entire build. I have an i9-12900KS and couldn't even get into the BIOS — just black screens and endless frustration. Tried reseating the CPU, swapping RAM, checking cables, you name it. Eventually realized the issue might be thermal-related, so I picked up the Hyper 212 Black after seeing solid reviews.Installation was smooth, especially for an air cooler this size. The mounting brackets for LGA 1700 worked without any fuss. Once it was on, temps dropped dramatically — like, instantly noticeable. And best of all? My system booted right up. BIOS, Windows, everything.The SickleFlow fan is surprisingly quiet, and the all-black design with the aluminum top gives it a premium look that blends nicely into my case. Honestly can’t believe this solved the issue, but I’m glad it did.If you're building with a high-end CPU like the 12900KS and running into weird stability or boot issues, don’t overlook cooling. This thing just works.

Great cooler for my 9600x! Stress tested my cpu for 20 minutes with this cooler and the hottest my cpu got was 65°c (ignore the top fan, it’s broken so just using it for its rgb lol)

This is my first installation of an air cooler. Previously I have always used stock coolers. Amazing thermals for my Ryzen 9600x. This is the product I just needed. 41c at idle. Noise level is great!Installation was pretty easy, but if you have any issues check for videos in YouTube.Comes with thermal paste.

I purchased the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black to use in a small-footprint mATX build. I was replacing an aging PC and wanted to reduce the footprint. I was also going for a no RGB system as this system is also being used as a Plex server and will be on most of the time.The cooler looks good and fits well in my Cooler Master Q300L V2 case. Since LGA 1851 has the same mounting hole spacing, it is compatible with the new boards out of the box. The fan is decent and the cooler block is compact enough to not block the RAM slots. The fan clips are annoying, but I know they're generally a staple at coolers at this price point. The thermal paste that was supplied with the cooler was adequate.Installation was OK, though I experienced a couple of issues. First, the instructions are all pictograms, and their images for the fan clips are lacking. The bigger issue is that one of the size adjusters came off the mounting bracket and the screw fitting fell out. I got it back in place, but the adjusting slider would not lock in place anymore, so I had to support it with a finger as I tried to connect the screw. It eventually worked, but it's an issue with the cheap mounting bracket they provide.It does a decent job cooling my Core Ultra 7 265k. Idle temps with an ambient room temp of 23.5 Celsius are 32-34 Celsius depending on the core. Under load (Cinebench R23 multi-core test) some cores peaked at about 85 Celsius when the processor entered turbo mode but then cooled back to high 60s to mid 70s Celsius when the system dropped back to PL1. I have my PL2 set to 210 watts with PL1 at the default of 125 w, with the system set to run at PL2 for 64 seconds. The fan is very quiet at idle, and does not get that loud when it spins up.This is a good value cooler that will work with a variety of processors, though if you are looking to get peak performance or use the system for heavy gaming, you may want to look for a more robust cooler.

Needed it to replace cpu fan in previous pc that was malfunctioning this got the job done and wasn't difficult to install

Really quiet which i love! And the color is really nice, simplistic and really neat. Build has a nice solid feel to it which is cool as well. Honestly such a good price for a good fan, fit perfectly in my Full tower, ATX Motherboard.
