[SOLVED] Best Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU cooler!?

[BrainY]

What is truly the best one? I can't find any place that compares them all

Hyper 212 evo
Hyper 212 evo v2
Hyper 212 Black Edition
Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
Etc.

Looking to replace the stock Ryzen 5 5600x Cooler. Thing is garbage 😱

I would suggest the deepcool Gammax 400. I have had the standard 212 evo for my 955 black and the Gammax is now cooling my Ryzen. I prefer the Gammax 400.
of those listed I suggest (unless color is a MUST) an unpainted unfinished surface. less between the fins and the cooling air.


212 v 2 reviews show its better than the black

I doubt you could get first one as new anyway but performance wise it's same as V2 which is just modified so it can use higher RAM sticks.
The other 2 are identical save for RGB lights and performance wise all are within couple of % of each other.
New and improved Cooler Master air coolers are called "Masterair". Older ones must be some warehouse/store leftovers.

I mean, you could do better than limiting yourself to just the 212.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO v1, EVO v2, Black Edition, RGB Black Edition, LED, X - What is truly the best performing CPU Cooler?

These are the Stats I got from their website but what is truly the better budget CPU cooler?

	Airflow	Static Pressure	Noise
HYPER 212 EVO V1	82.9 CFM ± 10%	2.7 mmH2O ± 10%	9 - 36 dBA
HYPER 212 EVO V2	62 CFM (Max)	2.52 mmH2O	8 - 27 dBA
HYPER 212 BLACK EDITION	42 CFM (Max)	2.9 mmH2O	6.5 - 26 dBA
HYPER 212 RGB BLACK EDITION	57.3 CFM (Max)	2.0 mmH2O	8 - 30 dBA
HYPER 212 LED	66.3 CFM ± 10%	1.7 mmH2O ± 10%	9 - 31 dBA
HYPER 212X	82.9 CFM ± 10%	2.09 mmH2O ± 10%	9 - 36 dBA

From review here seems EVO V2 is better.

However keep in mind that HYPER 212 coolers are supposed to use with TDP below 100. Don't try to put them on Ryzen 39xx/59xx and Intel K series and mid-top level 10th and 11th gen series CPUs.

they are all roughly 150w coolers. i've not seen anything to suggest one is "better" than the others. might get a degree or 2 cooler from one to the next but there is no major difference between them overall.

you'll want to list the pc specs if you wish for us to offer some options if you need more cooling power. they work fine for many cpu's but as noted above anything intel or high end amd will need better cooling than this.

The 212X it don't have the gaps between the heat pipes on the plate.

the 5600x will stay below 100w easy so a 212 evo would be ample to keep it cool. i have a 3600x system that can hit about 95w if i torture test it with PBO on and a similar cooler has no problems keeping up with it.

i would look some though as there are some 200w coolers that are in the same price range. i'd have to look up the models though as i don't recall them off the top of my head. but you would be fine with a 150w 212 evo if you go that route.

edit: the deepcool Gammax 400 is a 180w cooler and would give PBO a bit more room to flex itself.

I have a Noctua nh-d14.... But afraid my ram won't clear. So preparing for the worse 😀 The website isn't updated with the latest RAM 😀

Take the front fan and mount it behind the 2nd tower.
Take the larger fan and mount it behind the 1st tower.
~Ta-da!
