What customers say about "Key Specs"

Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler

The cooling system works great. Highly recommend.
Greater CPU cooler that is nice and quiet.
Nice CPU cooler! Has a lot of air flow.
This thing certainly kept my CPU quite cool.
The dual fans really help keep a cool, healthy airflow through my machine and keeps processor nice and cool.

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 N520 CPU Cooler

The size is right, and it is able to mount in a "north-south" orientation.
It was easy to install and fits in the case.
It's quiet, compact and keeps my cpu nice and cool.
Installation was pretty easy. I used this to cool my Intel i7-2600K, and doesn't take up any ram space.
The cooler is light, looks great and it will fit in any standard sized case.

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 N520 CPU Cooler

The fans are quiet and create a good amount of air pressure which keeps the heat sink cool and pushes the warm air out of the case.
Excellent construction. Not a cheaply made junk cooler.
Comes with different parts for various sockets.
Keeps my processor cool and relatively quiet.
The anti-vibration washers are simply too thick to use with such short threads.

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.
