14 DAY TRIAL // Since the Sandy Bridge-E series of LGA 2011 CPUs is almost upon us, Cooler Master decided to grant a boon to owners of its Hyper 212 EVO/Plus coolers.
Though the product already supports a variety of CPUs, it does not, by default, have the necessary parts to be affixed on top of the upcoming Intel CPU series.
Fortunately, instead of hoping that this would prompt people to buy a different model, like the Hyper 412, the company is lending its customers a free hand.
Anyone who owns a Hyper 212 EVO or Plus cooler, and can prove it (with a heatsink serial number), will get a free upgrade that will enable support for LGA 2011 chips.
That is, provided people actually have one of the chips or a supporting platform (Cooler Master will need either an invoice or a picture of the LGA 2011 motherboard or chip).
