Meet the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
The package consists of the cooler, a 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan at 600 - 2000 RPM (PWM) plus fan retention clips. All kit needed for Intel and AMD processor sockets including back plate and retention clip is included. Also some thermal paste is included, which we think is a nice touch.
The cooling block itself is 116 x 51 x 159 mm in size, has standard aluminum fins and has four U-shape heat-pipes leading through the fins. A very clean design actually. The cooler is not huge in size, allowing installation on pretty much any motherboard.
If we look closer at the CPU block we see that Cooler Master incorporated the popular Direct Contact heat-pipe design. It's a cheaper thing to do, saves on using more copper, yet the press that makes the heatpipes flat is a difficult procedure. As history has proven, the technology works really well though.
