This CPU cooler does a great job at cooling my AMD 8350. my idle temp is 9C-15C and on a full load running for hours my temp is 35C-40C. The ONLY issue with the one I received was when the fan is set to 100% its pretty noisy. I added another 120mm fan to it as well. To get rid of the noise all I had to do was turn the fan down to 80%. At 80% I'm still getting 35C. I probably just got a bad fan which is completely fine, its a very easy fix. ($7 fix) Not worth returning in MY eyes... Either way I would strongly recommend this CPU cooler, its the best thing besides water cooling. It is pretty big so make sure this damn thing will fit in your case!

Well, it would have been nice if it was marked fragile, the thing arrived damaged but I really needed a new cooler so I just didn't bother with getting a different one shipped. It's really nothing fancy and the plastic is just way to stiff and snaps easily. I also had to mount a second fan with a very high CFM to help keep my I7-870 cool while over clocking it. TBH I don't see why people praise this cooler, it's got cheap plastic and can barely cool my cpu without a second fan...

There's really no substitute if you have a big tower and want a cheap, quiet air cooler. These have a great reputation and with good reason. I used one of these on a notoriously hot-running Intel Core i7-950 rig, with an overclock of 800mhz & it ran extremely cool even in the hot months. Watercooling? Only if I'm pushing things farther than they probably oughta be. Definitely on more expensive ranges of air-coolers, you may see even better performance, but for under 50 bucks? Holy jeez, this is definitely a good buy. They come with a mount for a secondary fan and all the tools and small parts you'll need. They will fit on a TON of different socket types & motherboards. With a little tweaking you can even get them into oddball workstation machines!

This has been my go-to aftermarket cooler even after all these years. I've found that the EVO outperforms the more recent versions of the 212, such as the 212 Black Edition. Temperatures are pretty good, I'm pushing 1.250V through my i5 4670K to maintain 4.3GHz (I got a below average chip). Load temperatures in games and normal programs are around 65C max, while synthetic stress testing will see around 75C. My ambient room temperature is generally around 26C. Noise levels are a bit high when the fan nears maximum speed. It tends to generate a howling sound above 80%. However, under normal loads the fan is quiet, and still delivers sufficient airflow to cool my CPU. Mounting isn't as easy as some other aftermarket coolers out there, but it's totally manageable. Note that access to the rear of the motherboard is required to mount the backplate, so depending on your case configuration removing the motherboard may be required. The thermal compound included is decent, but for high voltages/OC I would recommend something better. They do give you a second fan bracket, but I didn't see any improvement in cooling performance with a push-pull configuration. Still, it's nice to have that option. Read full review

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is my GO TO cpu cooler. I build computer systems for friends and family who need a system to pay bills, play games, etc. since 1978. Yes as computer cpus have advanced many systems today would require higher end cooling methods to tame the heat produced by many of the HIGH END CPUS available today. There are many other quality air coolers and water coolers out there but the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO has never failed me.
