Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler (RR-212E-20PK-R1)
Reviewed by junhawng

There is also a 12.2 sneak peak driver from Dec. 20th and 22nd (Driver version 8.94.00). I am trying the 12.2 20th driver and it seems to be running well so far. Skyrim scaling seems solid, but still a little buggy. No corrupted or flashing textures though, so that's a plus.
