One design element that does add to the aesthetics is the embossed CoolerMaster logo on the top fin,which does look good. The aesthetics of the Hyper 212 EVO aren't really too important, it's a very basic looking cooler without any fancy covers or even fancier RGB fans, it's just a simple air cooler with aluminium fins, copper heatpipes and a fan. The cooler also includes a second set of these brackets should you ever wish to add a second fan to the other side of the cooler. Once you have the cooler installed, the fan simply slides on by using the pre-installed plastic fan brackets. Once you have the standoffs and backplate installed it's also a very simple process for both AMD and Intel, all you need to do is line up the mounting bracket and screw down all four corners evenly until it cannot go any tighter. This means that if you ever needed to remove the cooler to replace thermal compound or replace the CPU, you don't have to remove the motherboard from the case, you simply need to take off the cooler and the backplate and standoffs will stay in place.

It is so good because of the two stage installation, stage one involves securing standoffs into the backplate, which is secure on it's own. The mounting on the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO is basically faultless, the process is very easy for all supported sockets. Mounting hardware for all above sockets Included Fan(s) – Wide Range PWM 120mm Fan What’s in the box?

It does the job for almost all use cases for under £25, after all these years it still hasn't been toppled from the top spot. That means you're throttling during most compiling, encoding, decompression and some gaming scenarios.Ok so we're probably a bit late to be doing a 212 EVO review but we included it as part of our Cooler Round up because, after many many years of building systems with it, it's still one of our best selling coolers, and for good reason. It took less than 30 secs sustained load for it to throttle at stock settings. while waiting for my NH-D15 to arrive I was running the Hyper 212 EVO from my old computer on my new 9900k. You'll never get full performance out of a 9900k with your Hyper 212 EVO. You need to dissipate around 200W of heat if you're running at 4.6 Ghz and your cooler has a TDP of 150W. You'll be throttling in any stress test with a Hyper 212 EVO on a 9900k. Nice and quiet and good enough for me! The black looks nice had the RGB fan hooked to my ASUS mobo rolls slowly through the colors.A Noctua NH-D15 on a 9900k maxes out in the 70's degrees with no OC. With a i9-9900K and a 4.6GHz OC, I can run the fan at low speeds and have the temp max out at around 70C.

It works fine as long as I don't go crazy overclocking the CPU. Johnpombrio said:I have the Hyper 212 EVO black edition which has a very similar mounting system.
