Originally Posted by PapaSmurf What makes the Hyper 212+ so desirable? One of the best things about the 212+ (aside from the price) is that you you don't need to buy anything extra to get excellent cooling. The BladeMaster fan that comes with it is one of the best you can get for it. Anything that will actually cool better is louder and would only give about a 1C lower temp anyway. You can always pick up a second BladeMaster (not an R4) to run in a push/pull setup. The next step up would be High Speed Yate Loon fans, but the difference isn't worth the additional sound level as far as I'm concerned. A pair of the Medium Speed Yate Loon fans would be quieter, but even in a Push/Pull configuration wouldn't be able to provide as much cooling capacity as the single BladeMaster that comes with the 212+. The regular R4's from Coolermaster don't have as much static pressure and are louder so they aren't as good for this as the stock BladeMaster's or even the High Speed Yate's are, although they would be about as loud. A pair of BladeMaster's running in Push/Pull compared to a single BladeMaster would probably only be about 1 to 2C difference in temps. Unless you are doing some extreme overclocking or your computer is in a very hot climate it probably isn't enough to worry about. I only do it since I am running the [email protected] SMP client on my systems which means they run at 100% cpu load 24/7/365. If I wasn't doing that I would only be using a single BladeMaster on mine. What fan comes with the Hyper 212+? This is the actual BladeMaster fan that comes with the 212+. There are other places that carry it though. What if my motherboard doesn't have enough PWM fan headers to run a pair of fans in PWM mode? This is a 12" 4-Pin PWM Fan Y-Adapter Power Cable to allow you to run a pair of BladeMasters off of the same PWM fan header on a motherboard so they stay in sync if you use PWM. Even if your mobo does have enough headers, this is still a great way to make sure that they work together in an optimal fashion. EDIT: The current CM hyper 212+ seems to come with something different than the Thermal Fustion 400 and is of a lesser quality than the Thermal Fusion 400 Do I need to buy a different Thermal Interface Material (TIM)? The ThermalFusion400 TIM that comes with the Hyper 212+ is excellent as well. It's better than anything Arctic Silver makes and within 1C of Arctic Cooling MX2 or MX3 or IC Diamond 7. The difference between MX-2, MX-3, MX-4, IC Diamond 7, or any of the other top TIM is about 1C when properly applied. For the most part it has more to do with how one applies the TIM than it does what TIM they use. The problem with Arctic Silver is that it has such a long break in period. It takes 2 weeks for it to properly break in and give optimum results. During that time it requires several periods of the system running for app. 2 hours, then off for 2 hours per day every day for 2 weeks or it never really cures. To top that off it needs to be cleaned off and re-applied every 10 to 12 months. Having to re-apply it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have that long drawn out break in process. The other TIMS I mentioned along with the CM TIM that comes with the 212+ have a break in period of less than an hour, with most being only a couple of minutes, and that is with continuous running. THAT is what makes Arctic Silver such a poor TIM. Back when Arctic Silver was first introduced it was the best that was available, but that was 10 years or more ago. In the past 5 years or so several other TIM's have easily met or exceeded it's performance with much less work involved rendering AS not worth the time or trouble to use anymore. How should I apply the TIM? The Hyper 212+ is a Heatpipe Direct Contact so the two or three line method is normally the best way to go. It depends on the number of heatpipes as to how many lines is required, but the 212+ has 4. See the bottom method on this guide. The single drop or line of TIM in the middle rarely works on them. That said, I did some experimenting with my Hyper 212+'s and am having my best results using a credit card to cram a bit into the crevices then spreading a light coat over the entire surface of the heatsink base and not putting any directly on the cpu's IHS. Cramming some into the crevices between the heat pipes and the heatsink base surface is the key though. If you don't you tend to get air bubbles that prevent optimal heat transfer. What about side panel fans with a Hyper 212+? The chances of being able to mount a fan in the side panel of your case with a Hyper 212+ is somewhere between slim and none. The good news is you don't really need one. At best ll that side panel fan will do if you can mount it is bounce air off of the top of the heatsink (and the sides of the fan housings) which won't have any positive affect on your cpu temps. At the worst the airflow from that side panel fan will disrupt the natural airflow in the case causing the cpu temps to rise. In some cases (puns intended) a fan in the lower side panel position blowing on the graphics cards might help cool them, but that isn't a guarantee. Most of the time all the side panel fans do is make your computer louder. You are normally better off just leaving the fans out of the side panel openings (if they exist) and allow the natural airflow to draw in cool air or expel hot air as needed. It can be worth the time to test it out though if you have a fan to mount there, but I wouldn't go out and buy one just to test with though.

Check out the Prolimatech Club for ideas on how your 1st post should look.

Do you have the Hyper 212+? You don't have it listed in your sig rig.

 

[calebchosen]

I have one, it would be cool to create a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Club
go for it n00biE5200!

 

[n00biE5200]

just bought it to day

Pros
-looks awesome
-Simple Install*
-2x120x120 fan support
-Huge
Cons
-Figuring out how to install
-Huge

*instructions are bad but once i figured it out it was easy
(Updated my sig rig)

 

[calebchosen]

it´s a great cooler, especially if you get the extra fan.

 

[n00biE5200]

how does a 154 cfm delta fan sound?
Later ill test it with that fan on full
(the pins are funny so its all or nothing)

LOL you think the 212+ is huge? Look at the Mugen 2 or the new NH-D14, now those are huge. Come on now...clean up that 1st post if your going to make it a club

 

[n00biE5200]

#1 this is my first heatsink i bought and it almost touches the 'door' of my case
#2 im working on it
#3 Thanks for the help

 

[rpm666]

I bought one for $15 at Fry's on Sunday.

[Shadowclock]

Noobie5200, you need to edit your posts and not make double/triple/quadruple posts on your own. It's bad posting etiquette and generally frowned upon.

In reference to Calebs clock...that's not unusual for the i7 860 to hit so I am sure it isn't a mistype.

Great job starting the Members section.

Heh, too right...Mhz would be a mistype now wouldn't it. Good catch...overlooked it

+rep for getting me...was like an optical illusion there.

 

[n00biE5200]

yeh rep thanks

Grunion actually runs a different section. The moderators for each section can be found at the very bottom right. Go back to the Air Cooling section and you will see the list of moderators there.
