The hyper 212 killer
Pros: Everything. Great cooling, easy installation, isn't huge, fan is silent but effective, doesn't block ram
Cons: Could have even more for less but I'm not complaining
Well lets see... I was using HT and 1.35v (1.32v IMC) on an i7 860. With a delta on this thing, I never broke past 60c (extremely high ambients, I live in a desert) even on IBT. With just the single fan, first it was super silent, then it probably never shot past 75c at all, which is insane for the kind of voltage I was applying, all while staying silent. I never had a single problem overclocking with this, and by any reviews standards it kills the Crapper Master Hypo 212 negative to the ground. That is hyper piece of garbage. This little gem though not very well known should have the same fame. At one time it was extremely cheap (considering it gave better performance for $5 more than any of its competition). Now that throne is to be bestowed upon the Thermalright Macho HR02 for $40. That is insane. But that was released in 2011 and mid year. For the better part of 2010, the Performa was and in my heart will always be king.
