Question Hyper 212 effectiveness compatibility with i9-12900K

[ashraf10]

Is the Hyper 212 Black (2023) in the link below effective with the I9-12900K processor?
I am using it for gaming and non-gaming usage

Useable... yes.
Effective... NO.

Spend big bucks more($5) for a thermalright peerless asassin:

For air cooling an i9, you'll need at the minimum a two tower, two fan cooler if you want it to maintain something resembling turbo boost. Otherwise you should invest in a 240/360mm AIO water cooler.

as a side note you really should shorten those massively long links

everything after the "?" is tracking information that includes personal google tracking info.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately Thermalright is not availble newr to me and newegg takes long time delivery to my destination.

What about the NH-U12S redux?

Noctua makes good products, but for this CPU, I'd consider an air cooler having just a single heatsink block being an instant disqualifier.

Noctua considers the U12S redux as acceptable:

But, being a single tower cooler, the effectiveness depends some on what your processing load is.
If you are fully loading all 24 processing threads, you will generate much more heat than when gaming and stressing only a handful of cores.

As a note, the U12s redux is a budget version of the NH-U12s.
It comes with only pre-applied paste and a budget fan.

The thermaalright cooler should be available on Amazon as well. Running one on my 12600kf. Thing is a beast of a cooler. Makes the hyper 212 look like a toy.
