  Very good and quiet cooler. It was easily installed on socket 1200 without having to remove the motherboard, in a Be Quiet pure base 500DX case with 4 installed memory sticks. I only removed the graphics card. It cools the i5 10600 to idle temperatures of 27-29 degrees and under heavy load, it reaches a maximum of 65 degrees, with a room temperature of 21-22 degrees. It was purchased for 35€, which is a very good price for its quality.

  Easy installation on socket 1700, it is quiet at low load (I have not tested it yet at high load), the RGB fan worked fine on my MSI motherboard and is controlled by MSI software. On my motherboard, the fan protrudes above the first RAM socket, so there is a problem with tall RAM if you need to use the 1st socket (on my MSI motherboard, the placement of the 2 RAM sticks is in the 2nd and 4th slots, so I didn't need the 1st and 3rd slots)

  Good cooler with high-quality components. The only downside is the motherboard base screws for the 1151 socket that I used, which are unclear in feeling when screwing and lose their center. Completely silent and cools the i5-8400 perfectly, which I only use for gaming. It is not huge and does not ruin the aesthetics of the computer. Pay attention to the RGB 12V only, which connects to a 4 or 5 pin digital on the motherboard. Plus, it includes both thermal paste and the coolermaster RGB controller.

  I have had it here for almost 3 years since I started writing the review and I just finished it now. Time passes fast, I suppose, while you get lost in the words of your own text (hey, wake up, you're not writing a novel that took you 3 years, it's just a review).

  I have changed many companies for coolers over time, but I always had a soft spot for Cooler Master since they have been in the market for years and I trust them. I have recommended this particular one to anyone who has built a new PC and wants something reliable with a great design.

  Features & Design:

  The Hyper 212 series goes back about 10 years, so anyone who has even lightly dabbled in PC building surely knows it. It always combined low price with great performance and air flow. However, now they have added an RGB fan (SF120R 120mm) and a better design. Especially since they finally covered the ends of the heatpipes (which was always a nuisance) with caps on the top of the cooler. In my opinion, it is a very beautiful black cooler for entry and mid-range users. In the past, they had their issues and maybe they cut the fins a bit more, but now I can say that it has a tremendous build quality that is perhaps flawless.

  Installation:

  Installation is now a piece of cake and it's hard to go wrong since they have made it truly easy, and plug and play has never been more fun. I remember (grab a chair and sit by the fireplace so grandpa can tell you a story) when three of us were trying to install a cooler back then when there were no how-tos or YouTube or anything similar to guide you on how to place it. Maybe you should pay attention only to the amount of thermal paste you apply, although now companies apply it directly to the cooler (imagine what their eyes have seen), so that's taken care of too.

  Performance:

  As I mentioned above, it is the most value for money option out there since it manages to combine low price with high performance. You won't even hear it under heavy load.

  Conclusion:

  If you want a cooler to keep your CPU cool and you use your computer for gaming and maybe some simple overclocking, it is definitely the top choice out there. Especially if you add the nice design and RGB.

  Pros:
  + Easy installation
  + Design
  + RGB
  + Performance
  + Silent

  Cons:
  - None

  PS: No, I'm not flexing my build!

  For 13900k it doesn't work... generally, mine plays very fast, probably because it was working at maximum all the time... other than that, I don't have a bad opinion about Cooler Master, it's just that I had this misfortune
