Both the fins and the heat pipes are coated in a dark nickel coating giving the cooler its stealthy look. The CPU cooler also provides the same stacked aluminum fin design that we’ve seen in the past.
This decreases heat transfer time and material which, in turn, makes for lower CPU temperatures overall. It features quad heat pipes which make direct contact with the CPU rather than having to go through a base plate. The new revision of the Hyper 212 Black Edition keeps tradition alive using the same basic model that you would find on the original Hyper 212 CPU cooler. In this review, we’ll take an in-depth look into both coolers and compare each of their features, and even drill down into some performance numbers to see if there is any difference between the two fan types.Ĭooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition: MSRP 34.99 USD – Product PageĬooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition: MSRP 39.99 USD – Product Pageįeatures and Specifications for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition Two different versions of the Hyper 212 Black Edition have been released, one with a stealthy Silencio Fan, and another with an RGB enabled fan (SF120R RGB). The amazing performance you’d get in an inexpensive package is what has kept system builders coming back build after build. The Hyper 212 lineup has roots going back to the original cooler’s release in 2009 (which did an awesome job cooling my Q6600 back in the day). These particular coolers are targeted towards those types of gamers or system builders who prefer those dark subtle looks. There has been a healthy demand for dark or blacked out components for stealthy system builds lately.
The main difference is the blacked out color scheme, hence the title: Black Edition. This new version lives true to the Hyper 212 name featuring the same quad heat-pipe tower design and direct-contact heat-pipes. click on the image below for Coolermasters own take on the differences between direct contact and Continuous direct contact.Cooler Master has recently released its latest revision to its legendary Hyper 212 lineup, the Hyper 212 Black Edition. the difference is that with the EVO the gaps between the heat-pipes are reduced thus creating a greater surface area for heat transfer and as such better cooling performance (that's the theory anyway).
#Cooler master hyper 212 evo review noise plus
Both the 212 plus and the EVO utilise the direct contact method for their heat-pipes, as opposed to having them embedded within the body of the contact plate. So surely this isn't the same cooler with a slightly different fan? Well as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail and the detail in question here is in the layout of the CPU contact plate. The fan mounted on the EVO does appear to be slightly different in appearance than the plus, being of the smoked black rather than than flat black variety, looking at the figures it appears to have much the same noise and CFM ratings as the older model. and allowing for inflation are slotted into the same price point in the market.
They look practically identical, they are essentially the same size. So how much does the 212 EVO differ from it's immediate predecessor? Well on the face of it, not a lot. Retailing at £23.98 the cooler enters into a pretty competitive end of the market and will have to prove itself worthy. Now in it's latest incarnation the 212 is presented as the 212 "EVO", confirming the thought that this is a further evolution of the previous models rather than a totally new design. The Coolermaster 212 has been around for a little while now in the form of the original 212, the 212 Plus (reviewed here along with the TX3 Plus back in 2009).
