Then there is a fan splitter cable and a set of plastic fan brackets, both are for if you want to run dual fans on the cooler. The other has a mix of Intel and AMD hardware as well as universal parts as well. There are two baggies, one has all of the universal parts like the small tube of thermal paste and the black clips to use on the backplate. Inside of the box they have included a backplate for both AMD and Intel installations as well as brackets for both.

They also included some documentation in the form of a manual which includes installation instructions and a warranty paper with all of the legal information repeated across every language.

Along with that, you have all of the brackets and accessories in a small box that sits up on top. Inside the box, the cooler comes stuffed into a formed plastic tray.

They did include a full specification listing on the side as well as pictures to go along with the features on the other side which is nice. Then down at the bottom, they slipped in line drawings with dimensions which is nice to help when you need to know if it will fit in your build. On the back, they list off four key features with a short description of each then repeat that across multiple languages. The front of the box also has a large picture of the cooler on an otherwise dark grey background. They even touch on what is different under that by highlighting the new brackets and fans. They have the Cooler Master logo in the top left corner and the product name is across the bottom and they bolded everything but the Hyper in the name. But I always liked the touch of purple to quickly spot who makes it. They didn’t skip it altogether, it is on both sides. With Cooler Master always going with the purple theme, I was surprised to see the Hyper 212 Evo V2 didn’t have purple on the front or back of the box at all. Product Name: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo v2 Today I’m going to check out the Hyper 212 Evo v2 and see what is different as well as find out how it performs in our 3 CPU test suite. So when they said they had a new model coming, I had to take a look and find out if this is still the go-to for budget builds. Its no wonder why it has made it into so many builds. Cooler Master has lead the market with this 120mm tower cooler that is always priced like a smaller 92mm cooler. When I’m going a build that is more down to earth, 9 times out of 10 I end up recommending the Hyper 212, and its been that way for years. Which I suspect a lot of you have heard of the Hyper 212. But I couldn’t end things up without checking out Cooler Masters's most recent introduction, the Hyper 212 Evo v2. This cooler is discussed in detail in the following pages.With a few different all in one coolers tested recently, I have been on a bit of a cooling kick.
Hyper 212 evo review install#
The cooler came with only one fan, but it comes with the hardware necessary to install a second 120 mm fan.įigure 3 shows the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.įigure 3: The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO The box contents are shown in Figure 2: the cooler itself, manuals, thermal compound, and installation hardware. The box is relatively small and simple, as you can see in Figure 1. The main difference is the base of the coolers, as we will discuss later in this review. It is obvious by the name that this cooler is an evolution of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, which we tested last year. The Hyper 212 EVO is a CPU cooler with tower heatsink, four U-shaped direct-touch heatpipes and a 120 mm fan.
