What customers say about "Key Specs"

Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler

This is a well made part and cools very effectively.
The airflow keeps your rig running nice and cool and is silky smooth quiet depending on the fans used.
The Cooler Master Installed easily and is keeping my CPU cool.
The fan seems to work well for cooling down the processor.
The Hyper 212 LED has poor cooling performance.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

It's the best air cooling device I've owned, simply incredible performance for the price.
Cools processor very well, can achieve between a 10-15 degree temperature drop.
The fan itself is removable from the cooling fins so you can switch it to the other side to change the direction if necessary.
For quiet air cooling, I don't think you can get much better than this without spending way more.
It cools the CPU great and has great airflow through the entire case to help other parts like the RAM.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler

Fan super easy to install. I love the size.
Installation pretty easy. Great size and weight.
It cools very well, and fits perfectly into my case.
Great size that will fit good in any case.
Not satisfied with the cooling performance for a cooler this size.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

The metal cooling assembly appears to be well constructed, although the fan seems very light duty.
I like the larger sized fan and the fact that it hangs over other key parts of the mobo, keeping them much cooler.
I thought weight might be an issue however this heatsink is light as a feather.
I literally had to change pc cases to accommodate the size.
The heatsink is very heavy so the new mount you have to install is made to disperse the weight and not put too much strain on one small spot on the motherboard.

What customers say about "Features"

Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED CPU Cooler

It looks really cool and stands pretty high.
Easy enough installation, and much quieter than the stock cooler.
This is quiet and cool. Great cooler for CPU.
Keeps my CPU nice and cool, couldn't be happier.
This cooler is cheap and very effective. Very low noise level. I strongly recommend this cooler.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

The fan speed is automatically controlled by the system software, depending on how much cooling the CPU needs at the moment.
The fan hasn't noticeably raised the noise level in my PC, which is fairly quiet.
Copper heat pipes just look cool. The copper pipes definitely made a huge difference.
The fan does emit some noise, so I swapped it out for a Noctua fan and again had it them on the lowest settings and i had roughly the same performance, but much quieter.
The only problem this has to me is that it has quite a loud fan, a pair of Good headphones is a requirement to drown out the background noise.
