Cooler Master Hyper 212 Heatsink Review
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Heatsink Review
  88%   
Abstract: The Cooler master Hyper 212 is a 60mm tall heatsink, and it's comprised of just the right mix of copper heatpipes and aluminum cooling fins. I'll save you the trouble of skipping to the end of this review, it's good!

FrostyTech Mk.II Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
Intel Pentium D / Extreme Edition & Quad Core class heatsinks tested at 150W
Intel Core 2 Duo / Pentium 4 / Celeron class heatsinks tested at 85W

Results based on readings from a 30x30mm copper interface die with 150W and 85W heat loads applied on the LGA775 version of the Mk.II Test Platform. Temperature results listed for each heatsink were calculated by determining the rise over ambient temperatures at time of test. Information on Frostytech's test methodology is available here.

*heatsinks are ranked according to the 150w thermal test results column (rise over ambient temp.). low temperatures with low noise levels are considered best. for reference heatsinks with variable-speed fans, only the high speed (12v) fan test result is included in the comparison sheet; more detailed results reside in each specific heatsink review.

Intel processors vary in power output between single and multi-core processors, so FrostyTech tests heatsinks with two thermal loads that represent the upper limit of each CPU family.

With a 150W heat load applied by the Intel LGA775 version of FrostyTech's synthetic test platform, the Coolermaster Hyper 212 heatsink certainly doesn't give much ground... The heatsink holds steady with a rise above ambient temperature of just 19.0°C, with 45.9dBA noise. That makes the Coolermaster Hyper 212 one of the Top 5 Intel heatsinks Frostytech has tested to date (tied along with Zalman and Apack heatsinks), and one of the Top 10 AMD heatsinks!

Next an 85W heat load was applied for the second LGA775 synthetic thermal test. The Coolermaster Hyper 212 maintained a rise above ambient temperature of just 11.8°C. Once again, a great performance from this single-fan heatsink from Coolermaster. Recommended, in spite of the inconvenient mounting hardware.
