Hyper 212 Halo Black CPU Air Cooler, 120 Halo² PWM Fan, Dual Loop ARGB, Aluminum Top Cover, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, 154mm Tall, AMD Ryzen AM5|AM4, Intel LGA 1851|1700|1200 Brackets

Yes. Excellent. Not much to say, it's a great cooler. Does what it says on the tin.

Not that powerful.

Not sure what happened but it's making a noise now, it brand new faulty?

Helped with my temps

Es raro que yo haga una reseña de algún producto, pero es que la verdad este pequeño monstruo se lo merece. En julio del 2023 hice upgrade a mi maquina, R7 5700x, GTX 1660 Super y 32GB de ram (es poco, pero es trabajo honesto). Decidí en aquel entonces no cambiarle el disipador de stock con el que venían los primeros ryzen (antes tenia un 1300x), es muy bueno ese disipador! pero para un Ryzen 7 definitivamente se iba a quedar corto. MI ERROR fue no ver las temperaturas después del upgrade, y un año después (a la fecha que escribo esta reseña) empecé a notar las consecuencias: Genshin a 90 grados (se empezó a petardear el sonido del juego), NFS payback a 96 grados (el mando de xbox dejo de reaccionar a los movimientos del coche), etc... me dispongo a cambiar la pasta térmica y cuando retiro el antiguo disipador noto que YA NO HABIA jaja era tal la temperatura que consumió en 1 año esa protección que brindaba la pasta. Aquí es donde entra el Hyper 212 Halo Black, lo pille por 910 pesos mxn, me llegó al día siguiente y no te imaginaras lo FACIL que fue instalarlo y los resultados INMEDIATOS al volver a someterlo a mis juegos favoritos y al streaming (hago directos en twitch). La diferencia fue brutal, bajó de 20 a 25 grados de golpe en estas condiciones de estrés. Es super silencioso y el RGB es super fino, definitivamente parece de más alta calidad (es configurable desde el RGB Fusion de mi mobo). También tiene los sujetadores extra para un segundo ventilador si así lo deseas. Estoy encantado, de verdad que mi PC lo agradeció rotundamente.

Looks amazing really well build and the colours are deep and bright. Highly recommended

Works great; RGB synced perfectly with the motherboard. Temps are low, vibrant lighting. Noise level is fine, ample accessories to install. The instructions aren't too clear on mounting the fan; its really simple but feels loose. Once you attach it to the heatsink, its fine and seems sturdy.

This is a MUCH-improved update to the CM Hyper 212. It's significantly easier to mount (at least for AM4 AMD) and finally uses the stock metal mounting plate instead of a custom mounting bracket and bolt system like the old 212s and puts significantly less pressure on your motherboard as a result. You still do have to apply a fair amount of force to get the screws to start to thread and it's always a little bit scary to have to bare down on your motherboard but thankfully they bite pretty fast as long as you follow the recommended tightening order. This is a huge improvement over the old board-scarring bolts you had to tighten down and then try to thread. In terms of performance this is an excellent air cooler for the price you pay; the tower has a smaller footprint than the old 212 so is less likely to have clearance issues with your RAM; it can be installed in half the time; it seems to be about as quiet as the previous models which are nearly silent even at 75% RPM; it's way less likely to put too much / uneven mounting pressure on your CPU; the ARGB also looks way better than the regular RGB and works well with most ARGB control softwares (I used MSI Mystic Lights, no issues at all). In terms of performance it dropped my temps under full load in Cinebench R23 from max 63 degrees on the old Hyper 212 Black Ed to just 54 max with a Ryzen 7 5700X. Keep in mind that's a 65W CPU so it's easy to cool but at those temps I'd expect some decent room to overclock. The stock Wraith Prism would let my full load temps climb all the way up to the high 70s just to give you an idea. The tower is also a lot shorter than some so you're much less likely to have clearance issues with it hitting your case panel than say the Noctua NH-15. Even with the reduced footprint of the tower though you may still need to adjust your fan placement slightly if you plan on populating your first DIMM slot but that's pretty par for the course for any tower cooler worth having and thankfully that's very easily done with the fan clips and doesn't really seem to affect performance at all. The included Master Cool thermal paste is also a great performer and you get a big enough tube for several applications. The only real complaints I have are they only include one set of fan clips so you won't be able to set up a push-pull dual fan config out of the box but there is likely not a lot of performance gain anyway with a tower this thin. I suppose also the tower is just a little high (though much shorter than many aftermarket coolers) and you may need an extra long screwdriver which you might not have on hand and they don't include in the box so you may want to make sure you have 7" or longer screwdriver on hand to really get straight down on the screws so you don't cross thread. Also, as big of an improvement as this is over the old Hyper 212, the hard pressure to get the screws started still is a little nerve-wracking even when you've done it before. Not sure how they would fix it but be aware you'll need to put some force into it to mount. Overall this is a fantastic air cooler for up to 125W processors if you can get it for around $50, just stay away if the price starts to drift up too much. It's no AIO and might not be too great for a 5800X & above or the higher end AM5 processors but you'll never get a good liquid cooler for a sub $100 price and the rad fans will run louder at max load anyway!
