What these slots do is create a small turbulence that forces cool air in and warm air out from around the heat pipes, thus removing heat much more quickly from the heat pipes. Something the Hyper 212 EVO 2 has are slots around the heat pipes on every cooling fin.

I believe this is one of the secrets that makes the 212 coolers special. Do this allows the heat pipes to directly get the heat from the CPU itself, thus removing the heat right away.


I use both the Hyper 212 Plus and Hyper 212 EVO models quite often on personal systems and around the lab (see below) so I can do a complete installation in about three minutes at this point, including thermal paste. The heat pipes have been machined down flat and smooth. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a very easy cooler to install but be warned, it is likely too large to fit in a 4U server. The mounting bracket and heat pipe holder is made of aluminum while the heat pipes are copper and are exposed in the bracket. If you are looking to install the 212 EVO 2 into a smaller case we suggest that you always measure and check your setup before purchasing any air cooler. That means you're throttling during most compiling, encoding, decompression and some gaming scenarios.Topping out at 155mm in height the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 2 will easily fit in a standard ATX case. It took less than 30 secs sustained load for it to throttle at stock settings. while waiting for my NH-D15 to arrive I was running the Hyper 212 EVO from my old computer on my new 9900k. You'll never get full performance out of a 9900k with your Hyper 212 EVO. You need to dissipate around 200W of heat if you're running at 4.6 Ghz and your cooler has a TDP of 150W. You'll be throttling in any stress test with a Hyper 212 EVO on a 9900k. Place the stand-offs in each mounting hole so they protrude at the back of the motherboard. Unlike the Hyper 612S, the EVO goes back to using a universal retention bracket. Installation is fairly straightforward and those with the older Hyper 212+ will be familiar with the method. Nice and quiet and good enough for me! The black looks nice had the RGB fan hooked to my ASUS mobo rolls slowly through the colors.A Noctua NH-D15 on a 9900k maxes out in the 70's degrees with no OC. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler Review. With a i9-9900K and a 4.6GHz OC, I can run the fan at low speeds and have the temp max out at around 70C. It works fine as long as I don't go crazy overclocking the CPU. Johnpombrio said:I have the Hyper 212 EVO black edition which has a very similar mounting system.
