Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition - 314.2 gal/min Maximu

I suspect that like most people looking at the MA620M, I was using the Wraith Prism to cool my Ryzen, and while it's a great stock cooler, it's definitely not the best air cooling solution out there. And it's rather noisy. As someone who prefers using air, I started looking at the best alternatives, and this one checked a lot of the boxes I had. I wanted a quiet, solidly-performing air solution that looked good, or at least wouldn't look bad. That is precisely what this cooler is. As for the looks, I personally think that this is the best-looking air cooler out there. It just looks... awesome. And it looks as good in person as you hope it will. It is a 10/10 on looks. hands down. The RGB has sleek lines, and isn't in-your-face like so many others. I have been backing off from RGB in my builds lately and this is just the right amount, I think. Size... It's big. Cooler height is listed as 165mm, and that appears to be correct. My Lian Li Lancool II case has a cooler clearance of 175mm, and the cooler comes about 1 cm from the glass. Check your case's clearance before ordering this, as clearance can be an issue with big coolers like this. As tall as it is, though, it doesn't seem overly bulky, and all RAM and nearby headers are accessible. So it's tall, but not particularly bulky otherwise. Noise... what noise? In all of my testing, this thing has been very, very quiet. At idle, I can't hear it. While doing a stress test, I can barely hear it if I put my head up to the case. While gaming I can't hear it at all over the GPU fan noise. I am 100% happy on the noise levels relative to the Prism. Performance... It's good. I'd say it isn't the best out there, but it is good and definitely an improvement over the Prism. I am running a stock Ryzen 7 3700X on a MSI X570 Gaming Plus Wifi. At idle it's running around 40 C. While running CPU-Z stress test for 20 minutes, it's topping out at 70.5 C. While gaming (Borderlands 3 for 30 minutes) it's capped at 60 C. These temps are all 5-10 degrees C lower than i was getting with the Prism. All while running silently and looking good while doing it. Pretty good, not quite great, but good enough for what I want to do. I would feel 100% confident overclocking with this cooler, which I'll likely do in the future. Although to be honest, with PBO enabled on these Ryzen chips, that's probably not necessary or even really worth it... But I think that if you choose to do so, this cooler will give you some headroom. As for installation, I don't get why anyone would have a problem with this. The instructions are very clear, although I didn't even need to use them. Took me 15 minutes and I didn't have to remove my motherboard, although if you can't access the back of your board inside the case you will have to remove it. The baseplate is loose as other reviewers have mentioned, but it tightens up when you actually mount the tower, so that's normal. All in all, installation was a breeze - possibly the easiest I've ever installed. I did not use the included RGB controller but I can say that I can control and sync through MSI Dragon Center (Mystic Light), so it should work through whatever software your board uses. So to conclude, I am 100% satisfied with this cooler. It may not be the best performer in this class, but it performs well with zero noise and looks very good doing it. Is it worth $100? Well that's up to the buyer, for to me it's worth it. I don;t regret getting this over some of the others in this class I was looking at. If you're only after the best performance per dollar, look elsewhere. But if you want a good balance in performance, noise, and appearance, this one does the trick.

This was my cooler until recently, so I'm rating it now after almost 4 years. This is THE best air cooler I've ever used, I only changed it out since it won't fit my new case. The cooling on it was fantastic, and was quiet 90% of the time. I was able to get the correct mounts for free for my CPU by emailing the company. It's lasted this long, and I plan to use it in another build some time in the future. Great, fantastic, high performance cooler.

Big. Great cpu cooler but huge. Make sure you aren't dumb like me and that it fits in your case. I had to slightly modify my PC case so it would fit. But it's a great cooler. It also brings a ton of brackets to fit multiple motherboards as well and the lights look cool. It's pretty quiet as well since it's so big you don't need high rpms to keep your CPU cool. It's top tier quality on the metal as well, feels solid.

...but was initially skeptical that this thing could cool a 16 core 3950x. Admittedly, I only purchased this as I wanted air cooling and the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, and the Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black were both backordered when I was ready to order. So far temperatures seem very reasonable, 30s with no load, 40-60s under medium working load, though I have yet to run any benchmarks to really put heavy load on the Ryzen and generate extra heat. Pros: - Working well so far on an AMD 3950x (Note: I am using a Phantek Enthoo Pro full size case with 6 PWM controlled fans which no doubt helps airflow) - Looks GREAT! - the LEDs add some visual interest but overall effect is still understated. - Heat sink fins sit high leaving plenty of space for tall RAM (RAM clearance is an issue with some other air coolers) - Quiet - I have yet to hear it Cons: - Mounting bracket has too much plastic - I hope a future revision makes a mount at least as sturdy as standard (metal) mounts with NO plastic! - Mounting bracket sits very loose on an AMD until top CPU cooler portion is added. I almost returned the cooler thinking I received a defect, especially as no mention of the loose fit in the manual, but Cooler Master confirmed the loose fit is by design via email so I kept it. I still shimmed the mount with plastic washers to tighten the fit before completing install. (The loose plastic mount is why I removed a star.) - Check the CPU cooler depth on your case as this thing is quite tall. The Phantek Enthoo Pro is a nice match as there is space between the CPU cooler and the panel glass after install. ###################### Update after 6 months ###################### This cooler has been problem free for 6 months including keeping temps under control through long gaming and rendering sessions. Moving review to 5 stars.

I purchased this cooler because of it's excellent cooling abilities and ease of installation. It is a capable cooler, and it looks great, but I had problems installing it. The cooler was not easy to install on my Ryzen 9 3900X system. I had to remove the motherboard from the chassis to install the cooler's back plate. If you are installing this on a new computer build the installation is easy. As an upgrade it is hard to install. Also, there is not an A-RGB splitter cable in the box. I find this strange since CoolerMaster makes A-RGB splitter cables. Plus they are selling RGB solutions. This makes it difficult to integrate the cooler in an RGB based rig. For a $100 aftermarket CPU cooler it should have an easier installation method. CoolerMaster could have used the pre-installed backplate on AMD motherboards as they did with Intel's X99 series. With the complex installation on AMD and the lack of a splitter cable I can only give this 4 stars.

Swapping out the AMD Wraith cooler for this alternative resulted in a temperature decrease of 10 degrees. It operates quietly, though the installation process is a bit challenging. Nevertheless, considering its value, it proves to be an excellent cooler.

Hallo Leser und amazon-Kunde. Da mein stylischer Corsair Tower auf dem Schreibtisch steht, wollte ich den turbinenlauten Boxed CPU Kühler von AMD gegen etwas tauschen, das Leiser ist aber auch optisch zu meinem Tower passt. Dieser "Block" ist wirklich extrem cool in jedweder Hinsicht. Im Ruhemodus meines CPUs mal eben um 12° kühler als der AMD und selbst wenn ich das System herausfordere bleibt mein CPU bei maximal 70°C und immer noch mit geringer Lüfterdrehzahl, wo der Boxed bereits auf 90°C und voller Drehzahl lief. Soweit das Ergebnis vorab. Die Installation war etwas fummelig aber innerhalb von 15 - 30 Minuten machbar, je nach dem wie Technikaffin man ist. Da der Lüfter für Intel und AMD Prozessoren gedacht ist, musste hier die Originalhalterung ausgebaut werden (4 Schrauben und hinteren Deckel des Towers entfernen. Halterung nach Anleitung zusammengesetzt und auf dem Board verschraubt. Achtung: ☝ Die Halterung sitzt nicht fest auf dem Board. Ich dachte erst, die Gewinde sind zu lang aber dies ist so gewollt und alles zieht sich erst mit der Befestigung des Kühlers an den Prozessor und Board zugleich ran. Vor dem aufsetzen des Kühlers die Schutzfolie von der Kontaktfläche abziehen und Wärmeleitpaste (liegt bei) auftragen, Nun den Lüfter auf der neuen Halterung aufsetzen und die zwei Schrauben anziehen. Für die Beleuchtung gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten. - Die Nutzung durch die beigefügte Steuerung. Diese hat eine magnetische Rückseite und kann am Tower somit befestigt werden. Hier wird aber auch eine Stromanschluss vom Netzteil des Towers benötigt. - Mein MSI MEG 570 Board hat die Steuerung bereits inklusive und ich konnte die Kabel direkt mit dem Board verbinden. Das war es eigentlich schon. Deutliche Empfehlung 👍 zumindest für den Einbau, Laufruhe und Coolness (also Prozessorkühlung und aussehen ). Wie lange dieser Lüfter so leise bleibt, kann ich natürlich noch nicht sagen aber sollten sich negative Erfahrungen im Langzeitverhalten ergeben, werde ich hier wieder davon berichten. Grüße

RYZEN7を使っています。９０度オーバーが頻回で純正のクーラーから変更。 高負荷でも７０度台で落ち着いてます。 パソコン回りのアチアチ感が本当になくなった。 シンプルでおしゃれなのもgood

The MA620m works really well after using it for more than a week now. The ARGB strip is nice though sometimes the rainbow effect seems to slow down in color transitions. However if you are going for rgb ram, although ram slot is not blocked by the cooler, the fins will cover the ram on the left most slot partially.

Lo mejor en discipadores de entrada, mantie a raya la temperatura de un Ryzen 7 5700x a menos de 35° en modo reposo y con maxima carga llegó a los 70° con prueba sintética de cinebench, de igual forma depende mucho del flujo de aire de tu gabinete así como de que tenga suficiente espacio para que el aire pueda circular.... Trae otras grapas para un ventilador extra por si quieres mejorar la discipacion del mismo, fácil de montar y trae su pastita para que no batalles... aunque prefiero otras marcas de pasta térmica se agradece, ya tiene la compatibilidad con Intel 1700 ... Visualmente me gusta su color ya que combina con todo lo negro.... El ventilador no es de lo mejor ya que es poco ruidoso pero hace muy bien su trabajo Ya es ell segundo que compro y no decepciona .
