Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus review - Testing and benchmarking (2)

CPU cooling with Core 2 Quad QX 9770 @ 3600 MHz / 1.4 Volts

So we have now overclocked the processor to a nice 3600 MHz. As you can see, performance is still very good, roughly ~60% fan RPM is required to maintain stable and acceptable cooling temperatures, 40% is only 2 degrees away from it.

60% RPM is recommended. As such we spot 59 Degrees C / 138 F when we stress all four CPU cores 100% for a while. In all fairness, for a CPU cooler at this price level that is just really good.

At 80% forced fan RPM we reach 57 Degrees C / 135 F while 100% stressed. Very nice, but unfortunately it's a stage where the fan starts to make a noise.

Sound pressure

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 | QX9770 @ 3,6 DBA
40% RPM 37
60% RPM 38
80% RPM 42

As you can see, up-to 60% RPM the cooler remains nice and very silent. After passing 80% RPM however, the noise starts to get louder, nothing too serious though. But 60% RPM is plenty enough for decent cooling.

Competitive chart

Here we can compare the cooler to all other coolers we recently tested. This test is done at a 3600 MHz QX9770 processor clock frequency with 1.4 volts jammed into the CPU. For all coolers, the fans are locked at 60% fan rotation. Mind you, the temperatures you see here are based on a 15 minute Prime95 CPU burn in (100% utilization on all processor cores).

As you can see, the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 is holding ground fairly well at 70 Degrees C / 158 F.

While it's definitely not 'uber' high-end, it surely can compete with the rest of the coolers out there really well. The good thing is, it does that at very nice sound levels, as mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Cooler Master Masterair MA624 Stealth/MA612 Stealth ARGB review
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
