Installing the Cooler Master Hyper 212+

[isamuelson]

Excellent post there! I put mine in probably around the time you posted this. Would have saved me some major headaches since the instructions suck really bad.

 

[saint19]

^That was the reason why I did the guide. The CM instructions aren't the best for install properly the cooler, more, if you don't see that the cooler comes by default for install it in a 775 socket.

Thanks for the reference here, Saint. I will follow this and let you know how it works for me. I have an EVGA x58 SLI LE, i7-920, so maybe I can take a picture to contribute if it is different. (It'll give your thread a bump too!)

Hey what kind of lighting did you use to take your pictures? Anything special?

Hi eloric, for ur i7 and EVGA mobo u need change two things:

1- The back plate goes in the opposite way. Do u see the four things that are a little high?, that goes in contact with ur mobo and the nuts goes in those parts.
2- You need adjust the screws in the retention plate to the last hole, when u do this, the screws fit perfectly with the nuts in the retention plate.

Does any one know the part # for the optional 2nd fan, and from where I can buy one here in the UK?

 

[saint19]

^U can install any 120mm fan with a good airflow, something like this.

U can buy it from ebay UK, have some good fans. ebay UK

The exact fan that comes with the kit is a Cooler Master > Blade Master 120 > R4-BMBS-20PK-R0

One of the bad things I have encounter with the cpu cooler was the memory modules came in conflict with the cooler or the motherboard heatsink for northbridge in conflict with the cooler - And careful with warping of the motherboard.

 

[Ubrales]

saint19, thank you for taking the time and effort to put forth this nice guide! Good pictures and easy to follow narrative.

 

[saint19]

Thanks Ubrales I'm working in another guides, but those needs more time.

 

[Ubrales]

Great! The more you do this type of stuff (or any other thing) the better you will get at it. I shall be happy to volunteer with some editing as far as English is concerned.

 

[saint19]

I will keep in mind that since after 1 year here my English isn't very good yet.

 

[Lutfij]

MEH!!!!!! Your English is BETTER than most people with English as a first language FB is still down in my country....

 

[JofaMang]

Yeah, saint19, I know many first language english speakers who can't write as well as you. I never would have guessed it was your second language, heh.

I have been reading a lot about thermal paste application on HDT type heatsink like Hyper 212+, but I am still a little confused. I am planning to use it for my i5-750 and I am wondering if it is best to apply the paste onto the heatsink itself to cover the channels or do I put it on the CPU?

 

[saint19]

^Read the Thermal Paste Application link that I post, here are the best methods for apply the thermal paster to ur cooler.

 

[JofaMang]

That link is awesome, perfect description of the DHT method with picture proof as to why, heh.
