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.html

Hyper 212 = http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1290/cool...ler/index2.html

Hyper 212+ is Heatpipe Direct touch while 212 is not.

Hyper 212 = http://www.sundialmicro.com/images/product...hyper212-e2.jpg

Hyper 212+ = http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/attachm...clipboard03.jpg

See the copper base area.

will 212+ bend the motherboard?

it's very light so it won't.

a very gud + budget cooler for non toaster chips...

hmm around the same weight as the red scorpion but red scorpion users say will bend?

hyper 212+ comes w/ metal backplate. if weight is an issue what more for true or mugen2 type?

which one is taller?

i heard that Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283 much better than 212+ is it true?

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

Depends on how you benchmark. From this site seems to be par or xigmatek is a little better.

http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm

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.

I think you try to search the review from many different website to know which one is better coz different people different result....

gosh.... 212+ smoked V10 like CRAZY !!!!
oh well v10 only looks good buy does not perform that well

Another







CM 212 + pawns all great heatsink there!

Yea, due to 4 copper heat-pipes..

So, conclusion, Low Budget + High Performance CPU Cooler = CM Hyper 212+ = RM109 only..

rockrock selling RM90...LOL!

Thinking wts my Red Scorpion to get this heat sink...

RM90 So cheap ah~ lol..

This Hyper 212+ not bad, see even the massive V10 trucker also lose.. RM4xx some more. Can buy like 4pcs of 212+ already.

now these are really interesting..
212+ even beats those monster cooler with ease..
very tempting..
good job cooler master...for 212+

i bought 212+ for the 1156 compability. nice cooler.
my my comp idle at almost at ambient temp.

what i dun like is the mounting socket only. way too flimsy.

Hyper 212+ really does perform well.
The only drawback of this heatsink is that it's uglier compared to it's predecessor.

wow thanks guys for the brilliant feedbacks... I was almost to buy RS S1283... Now i'm gonna reconsider 212+

Added on November 2, 2009, 12:33 amjust bought Hyper 212+ with Tuniq tx-3...
Previously idle temp with Intel stock heatsink was 50+ Celsius
Now idle temp is 30+ Celcius... Superb!
Gonna OC my E6300 for sure! Thanks guys for the great feedback...

Wow thats a good temp drop there....
From what i like the Hyper 212+ is that the bracket is very secure and tight.

Indeed it is very secure and tight... 600g not to afraid

And also fits almost all types of nowadays processor socket.
See the result so nice there, decide to take a test on i7 920 rig.

maybe i should choose this instead of the TRUE 120 extreme!
whats the TIM bundled anyway?

Just its own one quite good already, better than the ordinary white TIM.

hi, i just got myself a 212+

i was wondering since there is ntg mention in the manual abt the orientation. which is the correct way to mount it on an i5? horizontally or vertically?

Thank god i bump into this thread, was thinking of getting CM hyper n520 today, but it seems like 212 is good enuf !!! i will go for it then!

Got one Cooler master Hyper 212 plus. Here are my temp.
Idle : 22 - 24 C
Load : 38 - 42 C
For RM100+ is great value.

What CPU you are using, very nice result.
Plan to get one but I think it does not fit into casing

C2D E6420. OC'ed 20%. Not sure how other forumers OCed this CPU to be 3GHZ but I am still experimenting so don't want to push it.
Actually I can't fit mine so now temporary open casing with additional fan blowing. Note that the ambient temp is air cond.

Can the fan clip stands 120x38? because i would like crazy airflow rather than just peace and quite....dont ask me why...im abit noise craze

so can it stand 120x38?

Should be able to
the fan clip quite tight.

omg lower than ambient temperature, cold touch feeling

in am3 mobo , should attach on the mobo or vertically( 2 way flow)?vertical can attach 1 more fan??

This post has been edited by customer2: Dec 2 2009, 02:21 PM

this temp is in aircond room right?

well..im satisfied with the 212+ performance but its bend my MSI K9N SLI platinum mobo due to the all in one mountintg backplate bracket which cause my mobo to bend if i intend to mount 4 screw all across the mobo to the casing.

AMD X2 5200+ 2.6ghz >Oced to 3ghz 1.3v
Idle : 27 - 30 C
Load : 40 - 50 C

btw the comparison i tot is HDT-1283 not red scorpion 1283.

red scorpion has faster CFM for the fan? so will it perform better than 212 plus?

the hyper 212 plus is shorter a bit then the hyper 212 !!! but overall is all the same !!!

I hope that answere your question !!!
peace ..

Then the price same?

i bought 212+ keeps my cpu idle at 28-29 Celsius when idle.

Before u use 212+ your cpu temp was around how much?

I think i will get one for my desktop

This post has been edited by CuteHunter: Dec 22 2009, 07:19 PM

Please refer above.

before i use 212+ with stock heatsink is idle at 33-35.
when gaming it went up to 55-60 which is not tat good.

after 212+
idle at 28-30
gaming at 40celsius max

when overclock from 2.7 to 3.1
40-43 celsius.

Is it true 212 plus beat the V8 and megahalems?? OMG, still can't believe.
Someone please confirm this, thanks =)

Wait, what? How can the 212+ beat Megahalems? Even after OC?! Then all our money wasted liao lol!

yeah, but tat was fanless megahalem, but if u attach fan onto the megahalems, it could easily beat 212+

Added on December 29, 2009, 4:54 amdun use gaming to measure ur max temp, use program like prime95 to stress ur cpu, google it

can CM 212 + fits into CM elite series casing ? I need to know before i buY it..Thx

This post has been edited by bluetomsguy: Dec 29 2009, 09:31 PM

wut elite series ur using? if its the mid tower series like 335, yes it will fit.

Im using CM 310, can it fits ? hope so...

yes it can

Really ? nice to know that...hope it can fits into my asrock mobo tooo..hehe.. Im just afraid that its the ram slot will make it unfit

hmm

Red Scorpion S1283 vs CoolerMaster Hyper 212+

which one is better?

and wanna ask if i wanna put it on CM Elite 334 can it fit ?

WTA, how to fix this heat sink correctly ?

I did was :

1) Apply thermal paste
2) Place the X-Thingy on the heatsink. ( Donno need to screw anything ? )
3) Put the Bracket behind the MB.
4) Fix the Nut and bolt on the MB
5) Adjust the X-Thingy untill can fit into the nuts.
6) Screw the X-Thingy untill thing into the nuts.

Can't if your casing has transparent side panel edition one, for double check again try find the HS height and roughly measure on your pc.

Fix the backplate on the motherboard before screwing the heatsink on.
Theres a manual there, have a look at it

which would perform better? Cooler Master Hyper 212 or Hyper 212 Plus?

nice temps
can i know what processor is it u using?

he is using C2D E6420, quate fom him..

"C2D E6420. OC'ed 20%. Not sure how other forumers OCed this CPU to be 3GHZ but I am still experimenting so don't want to push it. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
Actually I can't fit mine so now temporary open casing with additional fan blowing. Note that the ambient temp is air cond."

sounds like a good cooler to try...
what if i changed the fan?or mod the fan into 2 pcs of xigmatek fan
will it change the performance too?

Hi all, this is a very nice thread for me to gather some info about the product feedback.

Definitely will buy it later, but will it fits on my CM Elite 331

And, is there any benefit to install 2 fans?

Im also using CM Elite 331, wonder Hyper 212 plus fits or not?

Yeah, it fits..
My CPU temp now drop 10c -15c. This is great!

i've just bought this 212plus too. and AC mx-2 thermal paste. but not yet pasang. will pasang soon wohoo!!

Compare CM 212+ with AC Freezer 7 Pro, which is better????

cm212+

What if cm212+ using one fan only, is it still better w/o d push n pull air??

cm212+ is cheaper than freezer 7 pro but add extra fan then more $$$$ liaw....

but if put 2 fan sure will get better performance

Have a Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition with Asus M4A77TD PRO motherboard in a Cooler Master Elite Series case. Stock heat sink fan is terribly noisy and I'm thinking of replacing it with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus for lower temps + less noise. I'm worried about the contact surface not being smooth though. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Also, do I need additional products like thermal paste, etc.?

This post has been edited by thornduck: Jan 29 2010, 12:41 PM

hyper 212+ running as good as megahelm on i7 860... but it run very poor on i7 920.. even using 2 2000rpm fan..

Is there any big different if my fan speed is set to maximum ?
currently using default setting at bios which is auto.

wao...
i want get myself one la...
hyper 212 only rm90..damn cheap..

u guys should get it if your budget is within rm100 only. with the price the performance is very very good already. this cooler for my i5 @ 3.2ghz idle only around 25c in aircond room

=)

p/s: also with ac mx-2 thermal paste (after installing only i found there is mx-3 the latest version >.<)

Just bought mine today, performance ain't really great.

Intel stock HSF, Tuniq TX-2
66'C Load

CM Hyper 212+, OCZ Freeze, 2 fans(intake 1.5k RPM, exhaust 2k RPM)
63'C Load


Should I remount the Hyper 212+ with TX-2?

This post has been edited by Silverfire: Feb 1 2010, 05:26 PM

Lol, there must be something wrong there..
U should double check everything..

I guess I will remount it later, maybe too little TIM applied.

u too stingy lah....

damm my Q9550 doesnt want to go below 75'c even with the hyper212+ with CM Nano fusion slapped on it
it went down to 73'c when i was using my heavily modified liquid cooler, but i dont have space in my case to mount it...

i wonder how hot is the q9550 on stock cooler...

This post has been edited by general_odin: Feb 1 2010, 07:12 PM

Alright, remounted with Tuniq TX-2. Result still not very good.

61'C Load, just 2 degree lower than my previous setup. My previous setup was because TIM applied was not enough, I made sure its enough this time. Maybe too much

Hmmm... the reviews seems to differ with what our fellow forumers are experiencing.

I have a question about the CM212+. I'm planning to overclock my E8400 to 4Ghz. Will the CM212+ let me do that? I'm talking about at least 1 hour of Prime95 with 1.32vcore or more.

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?


This post has been edited by hydrogen: Feb 4 2010, 01:40 PM

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.

This post has been edited by Silverfire: Feb 4 2010, 03:26 PM

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...

This post has been edited by ravewar: Feb 14 2010, 01:09 PM

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.
