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. 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. We would like to thank Cooler Master for sending the Hyper 212 Black Edition to review. Cooler Master claim that their fan’s “unique wave-shaped blade design” offers excellent airflow. The Hyper 212 Black Edition costs slightly more than the popular Hyper 212 EVO at an MSRP of 34.99 but still keeps its affordable status. 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. A glance at the figures above shows us that it doesn't perform quite as well, with a max temp of 77 degrees compared to the T-40s 74. As we've now tested the 212 EVO we can answer the question objectively. Our testing will give you an idea as to whether their claims are true or not. The review of the Enermax ETD-T40 earlier this month prompted a few people to ask how well it was thought it would stack up against the 212. It comes packed with an improved tower fin design, heat pipe layout, and upgraded fans and fan brackets that provide an even more extreme value for end users of. 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”. Cooler Master, an industry leading chassis, thermal solution, peripheral, and accessory manufacturer, signals the rebirth of a household name in computing, the Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler.

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a very easy cooler to install but be warned, it is likely too large to fit in a 4U server. It utilizes 4 6mm copper heatpipes which converge to form a H.D.T (heatpipe direct touch) base. Servers and workstations often come with a chassis that includes all necessary fans but on 3U and larger enclosures, typically active coolers are utilized. The Hyper 212 EVO is very similar to its predecessor in terms of design.

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. The CoolerMaster Hyper T4 has four direct contact heatpipes and a 120mm wide-range PWM fan, the CoolerM.
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.
