Installing the Cooler Master Hyper 212+

[Lutfij]

@ khicharkumar - too large a HS or too BIG for your existing casing?

mobos these days have been designed to go through SOME stress unlike the days of the 478pin boards.

I remember where one forum reviewed a Thermaltake BLUEORB and had the mobo break at the seams of the processor, though it was the reviewers intention to see if the board (any boar) can handle stress.

* Point *
If all the screws to your case and mobo are made then this HS is good to go!

All rigs work fine with aftermarket HS's even beyond 3 months

Thanks i have thought about it but this tower HS is too large and when we screw the mobo into the cpu case its impossible that it will not strain the Mobo even if the weight's spread all over .........Have you seen such a rig that has been working fine for 2-3 months then this HS sloution's fine and best despite installing Water Colling....which is costly than this...........

I am glad that you are thinking about stress and strain. Your concern is quite valid, and the boards manufacturers have taken into consideration the weight of these after-market coolers. Most of them weigh around 800 grams, and add to it the weight of the fans, and the total weight that is mounted on the board will be around 1kg.

If you do end up buying the Megahalem, check 2 things:

1. Will the RAM chip clear the fan attached on the side closer to the RAM (tall RAM will present a problem)?
2. Do you have a case large enough to accommodate the Megahalem?

All of today's coolers will work with today's boards. The stress issues are addressed and solved by the manufacturers. My cooler (CM V8) weighs 870 gms. and this issue did run through my mind. No problems.

Answer
1.No i don't use RAM's like Crossair Dominator etc etc brand which are too tall.......so no problem here...
2.Yes my case is full tower case,so with Megahalem if the board is screwed vertically there will be no trouble..
So i made a choice i will try this kind of tower HS they are very good in heat disepation
Thanks for your Help........

Then you are ready to rock and roll!

The 212+ CPU cooler is too tall for my case. Is it OK to run the PC with the side panel removed?

 

[saint19]

^What case do u have?

 

[gothicfighter]

I don't know the name but I have measured. It's like 15.5-16cm tall.

 

[saint19]

Ok.

Exist 3 dimensions in ur case.

1- Tall: This is important when u want use Crossfire or SLI and depends too of the form factor of the mobo.
2- Deep: This is useful the ur GPU is very large since not all the cases have the same dimensions and can't fit the same GPUs.
3- Wide: THIS'S the important when u want use a cooler. U need compare this dimension with the High dimension of the cooler and with that u can know if the cooler fit on ur case or not.

 

[gothicfighter]

I've compared it. The cooler is 15.8cm and my case is 15cm or so.
Is it OK to just remove the side panel?

 

[saint19]

If that 15cm is the wide dimension of ur case, the Cooler don't fit on it. The problem if u remove the side panel of the case is that u affect the airflow of the case.

Check ur currents temps with the current configuration that u have and after install the cooler and remove the side panel and compare the temps that u get with the 1st temps.

 

[gothicfighter]

I know my temps. I even removed the side panel with the stock cooler and the temps haven't changed at all. This means that the airflow is not affected. Here's a photo of my PC(sorry for the dirty case):

[saint19]

Removed and install the cooler but always keep one eye in ur temps.

 

[gothicfighter]

So it's Okay?

 

[saint19]

Yeah it's ok if u don't see any airflow change in the case but like I see that isn't a problem.

 

[Ubrales]

So it's Okay?

No temp related problem in running a computer with the side panel taken off. In fact, it may provide additional cooling. My only concern would be accidental damage to components because they are exposed.

 

[Lutfij]

webtraffic overload maybe 😛 but interesting question ^^

 

[saint19]

^This are some changes in the forum.

Now u can find the guide in the following thread Watercooling, Lapping and Heat Sink Guides

 

[Lutfij]

good, it helps in organizing the forums a little more !

oi bro! whats news with your modding convention...?

 

[saint19]

It's the 28th of June, only few days to start with the OC and gaming LAN but now I have a problem with my rig. 🙁

 

[Lutfij]

what sorta prob?

 

[saint19]

Well my new Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 needs a 8 pin connector but my PSU only have a 4 pin connector, so, I need buy another PSU or a converter 4 pin to 8 pin 🙁

 

[Lutfij]

newegg have them (but i figure it'll cost alot just to bring that tiny thing to your doorstep)...or you could just look at your local microcenter. In my case you can pick the converter up at an electronic hardware store

 

[saint19]

Yeah, but only have time until the weekend 🙁 but I will enjoy installing that mobo

 

[Lutfij]

weekends rolling over and the world cups just about producing the craziest results - Portugal - DPR Korea 7 goals to nil!!!!!!

oh well, wats news with your converter?

 

[saint19]

Bad news, I can't find any one 🙁 the good news is that now I have new mobo, new RAM and new 650W PSU modular

Now I'm reselling my old components for buy a new GPU.
