The OG 212+ was a thin hunk of nekkid aluminum that came with a fan that could be best described as ‘adequate’. This new addition to the “212” family helps shore up a few of the shortcomings that more advanced system builders had with this value oriented series. Today we will be looking at the black edition. As their name suggests one comes clad in black and the other in white, but beyond color they are the same CPU cooling solution. In keeping with this commitment to the cooling community Cooler Master has, once again, recently refreshed their Hyper 212 blueprint and released the Hyper 212 Halo Black and the Halo White editions. All to keep it fresh enough to compete in one of the most heavily contested corners of the market: the entry level / value orientated marketplace. Make no mistake, the “Hyper 212” that we first reviewed back in ~2009 may share a similar name to later iterations, but this is a series that Cooler Master has regularly refined, refreshed, and even modernized. We say “cult classic” as there are only a handful of CPU coolers that have been offered for over a decade and are still being recommended to novices. Universal retention brackets are compatible with latest Intel and AMD socket CPU.It certainly has been a hot minute since we last looked at Cooler Master and their cult-classic Hyper 212 series. Tool-free mounting system ensures hassle-free installation. As a result, even with a compact-size each heatsink with the 92mm fan is able to maintain performance in a compact build. Optimized fin stacked distance between each layer is based on stringent airflow tests from our labs. This allows heat to be dissipated quickly and efficiently throught the funnel shaped aluminum fins.Ĭooler Master's years of aluminum fin craftmanship is second to none. Just like the Hyper 212, it includes 4 Direct Contact heatpipes constructed out of copper to accerates the heat conduction through the entire heatpipe. With its outstanding performance in its class, it is a great solution for Micro ATX and Mini ITX boards. With height of 136.5mm, the Hyper H412R is a compact tower cooler, designed to fit in tight builds. Its 92mm PWM fan features a wide fan speed range and can be fine tuned for maximum airflow and cooling performance or silent operation. The special fin design optimizes air flow toward heatpipes. With 4 heatpipes and Direct Contact technology, this outperforms its predecessor Hyper TX3 series. The Hyper H412R is an affordable, compact and high performance air cooler that is a great fit for small form factor system.
