Hyper 212 evo review series#
Support for all modern Intel sockets including LGA 2011 and all AMD sockets including FM1, Cooler Master have made sure that anybody can use their Hyper 212 EVO with minimal hassle.A well known series from Cooler Master is the Hyper 212 series. The Hyper 212 EVO cooling systems are designed and optimized to provide decent cooling potential. Retailing for the low price of £23.98/ €29,90/ $35, the Hyper 212 EVO should appeal to budget conscious enthusiasts or overclockers, provided its performance is up to scratch. Hopefully this claim is true as the Hyper 212 EVO is sacrificing 400 RPM of its fan speed in comparison to its predecessor. Cooler Master claim that their fan’s “unique wave-shaped blade design” offers excellent airflow. A 120mm PWM fan provides the Hyper 212 EVO’s airflow and is capable of pushing 66 CFM of air at a speed range of 600-1600 RPM (600-2000 RPM for the non-European version). An aluminium fin stack which is supposedly optimized to provide the perfect balance between high and low fan speeds will dissipate the heat carried through it by the CDC heatpipes. Our testing will give you an idea as to whether their claims are true or not. The heatpipes employ Cooler Master’s patented Continuous Direct Contact (CDC) technology which they claim will “act as a virtual vapor chamber that dissipates a large amount of heat”. It utilizes 4 6mm copper heatpipes which converge to form a H.D.T (heatpipe direct touch) base. The Hyper 212 EVO is very similar to its predecessor in terms of design.
Hyper 212 evo review plus#
Do you think that Cooler Master are happy with that? Oh no! To retain the price vs performance crown which the Hyper 212 Plus has held for so long, they have now introduced its successor, the Hyper 212 EVO. After a steady increase in price over the past few months, the Hyper 212 Plus has become a slightly less desirable product than it once was. The concoction of enthusiast level performance and a ridiculously low price tag made the Hyper 212 Plus a legendary CPU cooler in every sense of the term. Since its release in 2009, Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Plus has gained a well-deserved ‘legendary’ status among a significant proportion of system builders.
