Hyper 212 or Hyper 212+?
I want to replace my stock CPU cooler.

What is the price difference between the two?
Which looks better?

Will it fit my CM Elite 310?

Look at my current setup at my signature now, I looped 20x Very High using IBT. Highest core temp reached is 71'C in aircond room, I'd say thats pretty decent performance for a ±RM95 heatsink. With similar settings, max core temp went 89'C with the Intel stock HSF.

If I'm not mistaken, Hyper 212 is discontinued and replaced with Hyper 212+, the Hyper 212+ looks better to me and certainly better performance, price wise? Cheaper than the original Hyper 212. And finally, yeah it can fit your CM Elite 310.

er..is there any guide teaching how to setup this 212+? i was thinking to buy 1 but it looks like so hard to setup. need take off mobo blablabla :S

actually not too hard..
u just have to follow the instructions properly.
and u just have to put back those cables stuff then ok..
but i found a prob..
it just fit "very nice" in my cm elite 335..
the lesson is,if wanna get good cooler,we nid bigger case..==

Manual included inside box. So no worry

212 is no more available...if got, those shops have old stock...212 looks like "megahalem"...split in between...

212+ looks like any other aftermarket heatsink(red scorpion, etc etc)



just installed a 212+ with dual fans.

temps seem ok, similar to my CCF(removed CCF due to dented base...gonna lap/repair it later).

Prior to purchasing the 212+, I was curious abt the 212+ performance, and asked afew users for comments...ie Silverfire

after running for afew days, I think the 212+ works best with dual fans, to be able to nearly match my CCF performance...very good budget for a versatile heatsink...

Any recommendation what fan I shud get for CM 212 Plus?? The 2nd fan shud be pushing air rite??

Also the TIM provided is it gud enuf...

How about Scythe fans? High cfm's and good static pressure.

here my result on Q6600 2.4 Ghz (stock clockspeed)

idle : 42 C
load: 57 C

my result on phenom x 4 920 2.80ghz (stock clock)

idle : 35c
load : 40c

my results on ancient rig P. D (dual-fan - outflow - bundle fan / inflow - CM Red 90cfm) :

idle @ 27C
load @ 45C

for me, this cooler is worth the price u paid for and i'm impress that it drop my load by 10C

The CM Hyper 212+ is a great cooler for it's price. Just installed mine yesterday and i'm really satisfied with the performance.

perhaps I should go for 212+ instead of n620.

ehmm may i ask ?

Hyper 212 and Hyper 212 plus ....

do this both heatsink was same temp ? or diferent ? i mean with dual fan

Plus and non plus version are both very different sinks as the plus version comes with HDT tech while the latter doesn't. The plus version is obviously much better than its predecessor.

thx bro and good morning

i also very satisfied with this cooler...
very cheap..
and very good perfomance..

Finally manage to find some spare time to install this 212+ after get this baby since last Nov 09

using AMD Phenom II 550BE (4 cores unlocked)
idle @ 38C
load @ 50C

is the temp ok?

dont dare to run prime95 too long .. only for 6-7minutes

this cpu cooler good ^^
