After our first look into various cpu coolers last month, its about time to make another roundup with several new cpu coolers, mostly for Socket 775 platform. Al the cpu coolers were tested under exactly the same environmental conditions and of course using the same testing methodology. Before running the benchmarks, let's meet those new cpu coolers.

- Retail package

The retail package of Coolermaster Hyper 212 is big enough to give you an idea of what the volume of the cooler should be. The cooler comes complete with its own custom front and back mounting plates, backplates for all popular CPU sockets, screws and even some thermal paste.

Note that due to the heatsink design, you can easily add a second fan and further improve the total cooling efficiency.

The base is made out of full copper. The four (4) U-shaped heatpipes look capable of conducting heat efficiently.

- Installation

The installation of CoolerMaster Hyper 212 is not very easy, meaning that you will probably need to read the manual and prepare yourself for the upcoming important steps. First you have to use the socket 775 plates and mount them into the copper base. Then you need to use the rubber absorbers and by flipping the motherboard upside down, secure the cooler using the the included mounting screws.

Despite the relatively large volume of the cooling system, there shouldn't be any problem with nearby motherboard components.

 

After installation, the top side of the cooler is very close to the removed side panel of our test PC.
