We performed a range of different tests to get a broad range of results. RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16GB 3000Mhz (2x8) We have used various versions of the 212 for years so the results were not surprising at all. The performance of the Hyper 212 EVO is where it really shines, and is the reason why it is regarded as one of the best air coolers for the money. Other than that there isn't much else to say, it's a fairly industrial looking cooler with an unoffensive design so should fit in with most builds. Also, unlike a certain other manufacturer, the fan is black and does look quite good. One design element that does add to the aesthetics is the embossed CoolerMaster logo on the top fin,which does look good.
The aesthetics of the Hyper 212 EVO aren't really too important, it's a very basic looking cooler without any fancy covers or even fancier RGB fans, it's just a simple air cooler with aluminium fins, copper heatpipes and a fan. The cooler also includes a second set of these brackets should you ever wish to add a second fan to the other side of the cooler. Once you have the cooler installed, the fan simply slides on by using the pre-installed plastic fan brackets.
Once you have the standoffs and backplate installed it's also a very simple process for both AMD and Intel, all you need to do is line up the mounting bracket and screw down all four corners evenly until it cannot go any tighter. This means that if you ever needed to remove the cooler to replace thermal compound or replace the CPU, you don't have to remove the motherboard from the case, you simply need to take off the cooler and the backplate and standoffs will stay in place. It is so good because of the two stage installation, stage one involves securing standoffs into the backplate, which is secure on it's own. The mounting on the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO is basically faultless, the process is very easy for all supported sockets. Mounting hardware for all above sockets Included Fan(s) – Wide Range PWM 120mm Fan What’s in the box?
It does the job for almost all use cases for under £25, after all these years it still hasn't been toppled from the top spot. Ok so we're probably a bit late to be doing a 212 EVO review but we included it as part of our Cooler Round up because, after many many years of building systems with it, it's still one of our best selling coolers, and for good reason.
