Default [HWC] Coolermaster Hyper 212+ Review
Quote:
It certainly has been a long, long time since we looked at HDT (Heatpipe Direct Touch) based cooling solutions. The last one we looked at was from OCZ and was essentially a tweaked clone of the Xigmatek S1284. Since then, many air coolers have come and gone…but one thing has remained constant: the three HDTs we have reviewed are still near the top of our charts and are easily some of the best bang for the buck coolers out there. Today we look at another HDT-based solution, one that is poised to upset the Xigmatek / OCZ apple cart and bring in a new reigning king of the budget coolers. The heatsink we are talking about is the brand new Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. While a relative new comer to this whole HDT game, Cooler Master is not new to the Air Cooling arena.

Continued...
Looks like there is a new leader in value HDT coolers.

WOW

Those test results blew my mind. That cooler is like a HDT TRUE but better!!! I am speechless other than the fact that you can hear me mumbling as I count the money in my wallet to see if I have enough to go pick one of these up soon.

Amazing if results are accurate.

EDIT: Overclocker's Club reviewed it as well. The results weren't as good.

Awesome results. Guess my trusty ol' Xigmatek S1283 is still the bang for the buck leader.

I'll probably pick this up because it can officially have two fans, plus the extra heat pipe.

It is for HDT but Mugen 2 is better than s1283 bang for buck overall

The old 212 appears to be a whole different design than the 212+

Too bad no TRUE on the chart, in comparison.
