Cpu cooler hyper 212 plus installation

The Hyper Plus is a fairly standard heatpipe tower cooler size wise and is not the best performer. For those looking to use an older Hyper Plus on a LGA Intel Core i7 or Intel Xeon E5 platform like we use on the site, the Hyper Plus did not come with the stock retention bracket it is standard on the newer models.

Cooler Master does provide a LGA bracket upgrade program for those that need it. On to the review! Servers and workstations often come with a chassis that includes all necessary fans.

Adding a cooling component to a mm fan mount is trivial in the context of consumer cases, while it is not a given that workstation and server chassis may not include appropriate mounting points. That is why we saw the Hydro Series coolers be so easy to mount. The Cooler Master Hyper Plus is a very easy cooler to install.

I use the Hyper Plus and Hyper EVO models quite often on personal systems and around the lab so I can do a complete installation in about three minutes at this point, including thermal paste installation. The Hyper Plus utilizes four heat pipes and an aluminum fin tower cooler design. One aspect that is fairly important with the Hyper Plus is that the heatsink is not deep enough to interfere with installation when fans are not installed. Some CPU coolers have heatsinks that overhang their mounting points making installation very difficult using standard screwdrivers.

The Hyper Plus does not suffer from this common installation caveat. I will note that the Hyper Plus is too large, when installed, to fit in most 4 U server and workstation chassis due to its height.

Although one fan is included, one can easily add a second fan for better performance. When I was first trying to get the evo on the system I was trying to figure out why in the world the retention bracket didnt want to bolt back down to the mobo with the new cooler master backing plate mounted up.

I am in the process of installing the Cooler Master Hyper Evo,and I have installed the backplate and now I am on the part where you install the X bracket. Dec 25, trying to install the hyper evo on a asrock abm pro4 mobo. As such their cooler line-up received a nice overhaul as well. Recently they release their budget conscious Hyper TX3 cooler. Targeted at the budget market with decent and silent cooling for a nice price. Check out our review on that, as I'm still a little shocked how good the cooler is for merely 15 EUR.
