Guys,
Noob question here. Whats the difference for Hyper 212 Plus and Hyper 212? I cant really see any comparison review in web. Suppose Hyper 212 Plus is newer product should be more expensive right? I see its lot cheaper than Hyper 212. Is the cooling performance wise Hyper 212 better? Appreciate feedbacks.

Newer product doesn't mean to be more expensive. Hyper 212 came with nice looking LED fan from CM while 212+ does not. Hyper 212+ = http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/2904/cool...ler/index2.htmlHyper 212 = http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1290/cool...ler/index2.html

212+ better than 212... mainly coz of the HDT technology and the blademaster fan delivers 6cfm more air flow compare to the blue led fan

I would take the coolermaster....cheaper and it has 4 pipes compared to 3 on the xigmatek RS....I was once a user of the RS....The performance is alright if and only if u have a good thermalpaste....The stock cream they give u....forget about it.

Yea, due to 4 copper heat-pipes.. So, conclusion, Low Budget + High Performance CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212+ = RM109 only..

- Price - Excellent Cooling Performance - Dual fan capable out of the box - Very powerful stock fan - Backplate comes standard - Improved installation process (compared to other CM coolers)
Cons:
- Heatpipes are the smaller style - Relies on a 2000RPM fan for optimal performance - Questions over Fan specs - Single pressure point mount does allow twisting to happen - "Only" second best at high loads
