cooler master hyper 212 black edition am4 installation

Vernon Wilcox on 13th Feb 2021Ī bit confusing when you first open the box, there are so many different bits and no instructions at all but a quick look on you tube at the different brackets and it can soon be worked out, took me about 15 minutes to fit (that was looking on youtube as well), with the hyper 212 evo up and running it has cooled my Rydown from 87C and rising (using cinebench 23 and the amd cooler) to 64.6C max running the same program, I' m well impressed. 5 HYPER 212 EVO ACCESSORIES PACK (NEW VERSION,WITH AM4 BUT NO SOCKET 775).the friend would have to make do with an older version of Windows Microsoft is not releasing security patches for anymore. though sadly with Win 10 becoming not supported come. I like the idea of collecting enough old parts (old CPU and motherboard in this case) until I can cobble together a frankenstein PC and then donating it to a friend in need. I'll be removing the motherboard with the CPU and heatsink attached to it from my PC case first before trying to get the cooler off it, which I guess will help in terms of having room to maneuver. I'm probably going to run the PC for 30 minutes then because I'm paranoid use dental floss on top of that to make absolutely certain I don't damage the pins on the old CPU and/or the motherboard like this guy said on quora (basically get the floss in at a corner and pull it through in an attempt to remove it without twisting) and I guess according to one user online wear a freaking oven mitt in case you burn your hand grabbing that heat sink. this website seems to recommend the same model number based on the amazon link they give as an okay 'budget cooler'Īnd in this youtube video assuming this guy is using the same model number cooler as what I am using (that setup he's using looks identical to what I have in terms of the X shaped mounting bracket, backplate and screws) then looks like I'm all setĪlthough some people online say run your PC for 30 minutes. I'm trying to decide if it's worth saving some money and just re-using this on say a Ryzen 5 5600x processor (to give an example ).

here's the newegg link to the webpage product listing from back when I bought itĪnd I should point out that I don't think this is the 'version 2' newer model I think it's the older one. My PC currently has the somewhat old (purchased year 2018) ' Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 ' model number RR-212E-20PK-R2.
