You can also add another 120mm fan at the back if you wish to go for a push pull configuration and I appreciate Cooler Master including an extra set of clips for that.

The most recent addition, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition, as the name suggests features an updated clean black aesthetic, as well as a new included fan the Silencio FP120. The Direct Contact Technology, stacked fins and 4 heatpipes, reduces airflow resistance, reduces heat spots, and increase airflow to the heatsinks. Naturally style means nothing without performance, and with the RGB Black Edition we are still looking at a single tower heatsink design with four heat pipes that are designed to make direct contact with the CPU, and air is still being moved via a single 120 mm fan.They offer a vast assortment of peripherals, heatsinks, fans, cases, power supplies, all-in-one liquid coolers, desks, chairs, and so much more. As I mentioned before, there are no differences between the RGB version of the Hyper 212 Black edition and the standard. Every time after I run Prime95 for around six minutes, the system just crashed and just wasn’t able to keep up. Assemble the back plate by placing the through-hole screws into the notches on the edge and then locking them into place with the plastic end pieces. Motherboard removal shenanigans aside, the rest of the installation process was a cinch - the thermal paste used for this install was Cooler Master's MasterGel Pro that came included with the Hyper 212 Halo Black.

We know that components are carefully chosen based on performance, functionality, and aesthetic preference.I have tested this venerable cooler more than once over the years, but it has proven to be such a vital part of any CPU air-cooling discussion that it demands to be part of every cooler review lineup. One of the Hyper 212 Halo Black's key features is its new and improved fan - a MasterFan MF120 HALO² part. This is important as the fan blocks access to the screws used to tighten down the heatsink to the back plate assembly. The reverse side of the fan reveals a few more details such as the part number (A12025-20RB-4BP-F1) as well as it’s voltage and current ratings. Naturally, the fan's RGB effects can be controlled by your motherboard's RGB controller application from within Windows.
