Most central processing units nowadays are coming equipped with active cooling solutions from the factory and while these default coolers are good enough for the mainstream computer user, they kind of fall flat when it comes to supporting the latest and greatest processors under heavy workloads and high overclocking. For those users that like their processors running cool, there is a new active cooling solution in town and it was specially designed and manufactured by Cooler Master in order to provide the best possible cooling to all new AMD and Intel products alike.

This new cooler, the Hyper 212, is based on a universal mounting system and thanks to that, it can be used on a wide range of processing units, like the Intel Core 2 Duo, Quad and Extreme as well as AMD Athlon64 FX and Athlon64 X2 Dual-Core.

The special fan bracket design that comes with the newest Cooler Master active cooling solution for processing units allows it to provide twice the airflow normally encountered on most coolers and it helps achieve a better and more uniform processor cooling effect. Rated at 69.69 CFM, the fan airflow is high enough to sustain even the hottest processor in use today under heavy workload conditions.

The passive cooling part of the Hyper 212 cooler is formed from a wide and tall aluminum base plate that connects the four U-shaped all copper heat pipes with the dual heat sink, that was designed to dramatically increase the heat dissipation surface. The mirror polished base plate makes a very good contact between the central processing unit and the cooling system and the four heat pipes are taking all the heat away from the processor, while the specially designed fan ensures a huge airflow at reduced noise levels.

Thanks to the fact the cooling fan is based on a long life sleeve and that it works at a relatively low speed of only 2000rpm, it is certified to operate at a low noise level of only 19dB, while having a long lifetime of over 50,000 hours.
