Installation of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus (2)

Cooler Master design a new retention clip for Intel processors, this allows for socket compatibility on 775 (Pentium 4 / Core 2), 1156 (Core i5) and 1366 (Core i7). And for AMD all socket AM2/AM2+/AM3 processors.  Just position it right and screw it secure until the screws are stuck. Quite simple.

Here we have the 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan at 600 - 2000 RPM (PWM). See the little rubber patches in the corners? That prevents resonating, and dampens the sound. Simple yet very effective.

You want to mount the fan AFTER you've installed the cooler onto your motherboard, but this is what the end result will look like.

You'll receive two more fan retention clips as you can add another 120mm fan on the other side of the cooler for additional performance.

And once we've installed everything, this is what it looks like. Let's spin her up and check out some tests we did with the cooler.
