Thanks so much man! I just picked this up and got it installed! I noticed a difference immediately from my old cooler which was running higher than I would like it to
Love your videos!! Watched this, and the one on the Corsair fans with the lighting hub, and you're the only one who made a concise video about these products that answered some little questions I had. Keep up the good work!
I know it is a year out but your video was really helpful as I am building my first AM5 build with the newer design. I only previously installed an older version of the 212 Black on an AM4 board.
my water cooler pump just died and I got this air cooler to fill the gap while I wait for my RMA replacement. It was only 30 bucks and honestly it cools just as good as my 360 AIO water cooler. I may end up just leaving it on as it has a lot less wires and is way easier to take on and off if needed. About to add a second fan to the backside to increase air flow. Awesome unit! Cooler Master makes great stuff. Im getting idles at like 36-39 all day long and load of only 60-70. This is on a 13900K by the way also, so no slouch on the CPU either. Buy it!
if Coolermaster just add some additional fans hooks so that u can add another rgb fans for exhaust or push and pull configuration for more performance and hide those bracket from the other side
Bought mine a couple days ago and it came with 2 sets of clips. I was pleased to see this because I had no idea where to get them so I was about to Macguyver something.
I still has the Evo, which was a bit pain to install but got used to it 🤣 finally good to see they have the much easy installation like the deepcool ones
Thanks for the video I was switching my old hyper 212 black edition and it had 4 hex nuts I liked the new one because the installation screws are flush so it's impossible to over tighten
Saddens me they changed to wire connectors for the heatsink fans. The previous plastic connectors they used were so much easier to use when you need to remove and reattach the fan while the heatsink was already installed and motherboard mounted in the case. They also always had a second set of plastic connectors in the box if you wanted to add a second fan too.
Tried to follow the video but now im stuck... My mobo doesnt have any protruding holes in it. I checked the bracket from my old cpu cooler but no matter what it wont match up.. Not really sure what to do now :/
I'm sorry but those 4 screws with springs mounted on them are a freaking nightmare to install. The springs push the screws up while you're trying to screw them down. This mecanism makes the screw move away from the bolts while you screw them. It also forces you to tighten your grip on the rad, but you can't because the thermal pastes makes the rad slip on the CPU! Absolute nonsense. I ended up breaking one of the screws inside the bracket, which is a pain in the ass. I hoped they'd fix that in the updated Hyper 212, but nope. Installing a cooler shouldn't feel like you're playing dice with your CPU.
The springs were so tight I thought I was either going to break the motherboard or break the cpu trying to get the bolts to thread into the motherboard bracket
Yes you can run this without the RGB cable connected to the mobo or RGB hub. Get you a little zip tie and tie the cable up out of the way and boom you are done. Or leave the cable dangling like a madman... whichever you prefer. :)
Question, if my motherboard doesn't have a 3 pin argb header/connector slot and only a 4 pin 5v one what can I do? I read online you can buy a Coolmaster Addressable RGB Led Controller. Would that do the job? Please help
Do you have to use both wires if you dont plan on using the RGB? I read somewhere it would just be a default rainbow color if you only plug in the 4 pin.
Do you think I can get the necessary details to install the old version of Hyper 212 Plus on an am5 socket? My kits are not suitable for installation except with an air flow from bottom to top.
Hi I recently put together the LED version of the hyper 212 cooler, I was curious as to how tight the heatsink should be, if i try wiggle it with my hands it doesn't move ALOT but It moves ever so slightly but nothing too major that's worrying its not gonna come off. it's quite screwed in and lowered temps by 10 degrees should I tighten it more or should it be good? Thanks Old cpu stock cooler was giving cpu temps (idle) 38-41 now with new cooler its 29-34 does this show its fine and doesn't need to be tightened further?
I installed this fan and went fine but problem is that it’s overheating or it says so it’s at 100 degrees,should I let it run for a while so it programs the temperature or did I do something wrong
Thank you for making this video. I was about to throw this thing across the room. The instructions say, noting about stretching the clips to home it on. Aldo mine did not come with that little sticker that says "remove before instalation."
Seems like a bad fan design for a heatsink. Wouldnt you want the fan to "seal" onto the fin stack instead of having huge gaps everywhere? Id be curious to see the performance compared to, for example, the deepcool ak400.
Mine came with 2 sets of clips as well here in the US. Purchased at microcenter. Not sure if that makes a difference where I got it from but just in case you wanna buy one online I would get it from them in hopes that you get one with two sets of clips as well.
What happens if I want to replace my existing stock cooler and I don't want to unscrew everything and take out the motherboard simply for installing a new cpu cooler? Is there a way?In the past,Coolermaster coolers had some bolts with which you could fasten their cooler backplate in the back of the motherboard and it was extremely helpful.Does this specific cooler have this option? Otherwise it is useless unless you are installing everything for the first time.Thanks.
Ohh.. mine came with clips for two fans. Did I get lucky or are they just doing that now? Who knows, but I say it was a win because I also bought a second fan when I picked this up at microcenter and this cooler works great for me. I did end up using both fans from the start but I may remove one and see how the temps vary when not in a push/pull configuration. So far this thing is keeping my I7-11700k thermal heat death ray cpu from cooking itself.
i dont undertsand how to get the RGB going. the fan spins, but it came with this controller that comes with a splitter that appears to connect to nothing...
Is it possible to get those fan clips? I am thinking of buying another fan and making this cooler dual fin, but I dont know it it's possible to get these clips or any other compatible ones
I have the hyper 212 turbo led (red) is it compatible with the new am5 series ??? in fact my cooler come with this special stuff for am4 and a backplate i really need help broos
my motherboard does not have ARGB or RGB header ( i'm using Gigabyte a320m-h Mobo) i want to buy this cooler for aesthetic purpose only, how i can ON this RGB lighting, i don't want AddresSable RGB , i just want RGB....HELP
My NH-U12A fits which has a height of 158mm as long as the side radiator bracket is removed. note that this won’t work with the tempered glass version! The 212 spec page says it’s 156mm so it should fit with no side rad bracket and mesh side panel
I was looking into these coolers and I got seriously confused with the naming of 2 of them, one called Hyper 212 Black Edition and the other Hyper 212 Black which is like this Halo one but without the Halo part, I'm lost lol
Mine is plugged into my mobo so I use either MSI center or signal RGB to mess with the colors and how they flash or whatever. If your mobo doesn't have the ARGB pin headers you will need either a case with an RGB hub or you have to buy a 3rd party RGB controller. They all cost about the same so its your choice which to get if you need one.
That was one of if not the best cooler install videos. I think even I could do it.
Thank you!
Thanks so much man! I just picked this up and got it installed! I noticed a difference immediately from my old cooler which was running higher than I would like it to
I bought this too, how can i control the rgb lights and speed?
What cpu u running bro m planning to get this for my 7600 amd with 4070 build
Got this today and just finished installing this. 3600x Idling went from 57 to 40c 😭😭. Thanks for the review man 💥
Banger install guide as always fams. Great for beginners starting out with PC's and even long time builders who may have taken a break from building.
Meh. It was $40 at my local best buy.
7800x3d and stays cool.

Man, I loved the original Hyper 212. Great to see a refresh and Banger of an instruction video fams. Keep up the hard work
I know it is a year out but your video was really helpful as I am building my first AM5 build with the newer design. I only previously installed an older version of the 212 Black on an AM4 board.

Nice looking cooler and a great video. Thanks
No, thank you for watching!
You are not clear on where to clip the fan. What is "the front side" and what is "each side" there's 4 bloody sides
i know im late but it doesn't matter which side you do it on. Just make sure the front side is facing you (the good looking part)
I still has the Evo, which was a bit pain to install but got used to it 🤣 finally good to see they have the much easy installation like the deepcool ones
Definitely enjoying the easier installation!
The Legend has returned 🙌
😎😎
I have am4 socket .. this cooler have 4 pin or just 3 !? I don’t have 3 pin slot …

Excellent guide thank you! I plan on getting just the black version for a non rgb AM5 R5 7600 build later this year. :)

did you ever solve this issue? im having the same problem
for amd you dont need to change bottom backplate ?
Far out amazing job as always
Shucks, thank you!

I had that same problem.
The springs were so tight I thought I was either going to break the motherboard or break the cpu trying to get the bolts to thread into the motherboard bracket
Can't we just install the cooler without the backplate on intel mobos?
Thanks for an excellent video
Thank you for the guide man!
Hello, I understand correctly that there is no need to put spacer rings for the AM5 socket?
nice it has a decent tdp which makes it great considering its size compared to some off noctuas same tdp offerings
What if you don't have a 3 PIN 5V ARGB header on your motherboard? Will it still work?
did you get the answer to this?
The fan will work fine but the lights won't light up
Yes just no lights
Is it necessary to plug in the RGB cable? I plan on purchasing this for use on an older motherboard that does not have RGB functionality. Thanks
Did you need it ?
Yes you can run this without the RGB cable connected to the mobo or RGB hub. Get you a little zip tie and tie the cable up out of the way and boom you are done. Or leave the cable dangling like a madman... whichever you prefer. :)
@@agent_smith... thanks!
@@golbiii didn’t buy it yet, though according to @agent_smith… you don’t need to plug it in.

Hyper halo 212 support in nr200p, please create a short video on this

This is very helpful and clear. I suppose the sprung screws are reasonable to use cos some AMD coolers have such strong ones.
Hello my friend, is this cooler suitable for i513600k?
thanks mate your a star!
Question, if my motherboard doesn't have a 3 pin argb header/connector slot and only a 4 pin 5v one what can I do?
I read online you can buy a Coolmaster Addressable RGB Led Controller. Would that do the job? Please help
This is a great little cooler can confirm with a additional fan it has no problems cooling a i7 11700k i was shocked to be honest
awesome thanks for this one boss man helps alot im planning to build an AMD build with AM5 mobo's
Great job!! Well spelled out !!
Cheers!!
Do you have to use both wires if you dont plan on using the RGB? I read somewhere it would just be a default rainbow color if you only plug in the 4 pin.
Looks Awesome!!
Do you know how quiet this cooler is at all? Possibly looking at this one for a build. :)

Thank you, the included instructions were hard to understand.
is this better than amd's wraith prism for ryzen 5 5600x ? (cooling wise)
Absolutely!
I installed this fan and went fine but problem is that it’s overheating or it says so it’s at 100 degrees,should I let it run for a while so it programs the temperature or did I do something wrong
Check your installation
I have an MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk that I will be adding this cooler to. Does the backplate stay on like in your video?
Thank you for making this video. I was about to throw this thing across the room. The instructions say, noting about stretching the clips to home it on. Aldo mine did not come with that little sticker that says "remove before instalation."
i dont want to remove my motherboard from my case!!! nooooo!!!!!!!
I'm in that place rite now😂 trying not to open my cause up again
@@bOmBS-ww6if worth it i went from 90c to 58c while gaming
Good looking cooler
is there a need to install the backplate for this? assuming an AM4 mobo

Exactly what I was thinking
Fine for 99% of build out there...
Do they sell a extra bracket for a second fan, for push pull setup.
Bought mine today and it came with 4 so yes. I am in the UK. Hope this helps.
Mine came with 2 sets of clips as well here in the US. Purchased at microcenter. Not sure if that makes a difference where I got it from but just in case you wanna buy one online I would get it from them in hopes that you get one with two sets of clips as well.
So I got a new Aio and was wondering is it Normal to hear water slushing around when shaking the radiator? I always thought it’s filled to the brim.
Yeah that's normal

You can do it it's just a little bit trickier.
So this cooler comes with brackets required for 1700 not needing to buy a mounting bracket seperate
Help i dont have the rbg header
the issue i had with the old one is that it felt like you were going to break your mother board when installing
Not a great feeling!
My thoughts exactly. Nonsensical spring loaded screws.
I overscrewed the Backplate what now? I cant get it off
Same bro
If get any solution please share 😅
@@sagarpandey7733 i bought new backplate
Thanks a lot mate
Hard to believe that the original Hyper 212 came out way back in 2007.
legends, with scythe and xigmatek
brah, you should really wear a anti static bracelet while doing this.
@3:35 so, you're basically just screw, but with confidence right?
Ohh.. mine came with clips for two fans. Did I get lucky or are they just doing that now?

THANKYOU BECAUSE OF THIS, MY PC EXPLODE
i dont undertsand how to get the RGB going. the fan spins, but it came with this controller that comes with a splitter that appears to connect to nothing...
please explain direction and face of fan
How about if my PC casing fan alrd plug in to RGB slot in MOBO ?then CPU RGB fan 😊plug to the Fan HUB?
How about an extra fan with clips to match, got a part number???
Is it possible to get those fan clips? I am thinking of buying another fan and making this cooler dual fin, but I dont know it it's possible to get these clips or any other compatible ones
If I don’t have or find a RBG connector is that fine ? Can I leave at not connect I don’t need the lights
My cpu cooler gives rgb without the 3 pin plug. Is it because my mobo dont have a 3 pin conector?
Installed this tonight and I'm getting a loud ticking noise on boot?
The brackets supplied with mine are not flat they jut up half an inch at the ends so the screws wont reach
Same here, did you find a fix?
Why are the brackets too short for my i7-6800k???😢
I have the hyper 212 turbo led (red) is it compatible with the new am5 series ??? in fact my cooler come with this special stuff for am4 and a backplate
i really need help broos
why is this so cheap (30cad) while the other 212 evos are like $60-100??
Does the adjustable base work for am4?
Es muy bueno me bajo de temperaturas de hasta 90. Hasta un máximo de 75
Hello sir , is that intel backplate made of plastic or metal ?
Will this fit the CoolerMaster NR200 with the mesh side panel? (The old Hypers only the mesh panel would accommodate the hyper)
I read it does that’s why I’m excited
can i add one more fan on the rear of the cpu cooler ?? if so..should it be intake or exhaust ??
yes, and it should be exhausting the hot air from the cooler
the cooler still had the cooler master hexagon shape on the top
Man I feel like such an idiot, I was wondering why I wasn't getting any RGB and it's just because I had the 4 pin connector the wrong way round 😅😭
Bro why won’t it fit on b550 tomahawk mag ? I have a 5600x
my motherboard does not have ARGB or RGB header ( i'm using Gigabyte a320m-h Mobo) i want to buy this cooler for aesthetic purpose only, how i can ON this RGB lighting, i don't want AddresSable RGB , i just want RGB....HELP
Can i get it intalled without taking out the motherboard
What do I do if my motherboard has a ARGB fan conecter thats not next to or near the CPU fan header
This comes with 2 separate cables so it shouldn't be an issue
How can I change the colors
Is it can be fit to fm2+ motherboard?
Its not easy if the motherboard inside the case
Will it fit in the Cooler Master NR200P? The older Hyper 212 Black Edition didn't fit with the tempered glass side panel.
Height is listed on coolermaster for both the case and cooler
My NH-U12A fits which has a height of 158mm as long as the side radiator bracket is removed. note that this won’t work with the tempered glass version! The 212 spec page says it’s 156mm so it should fit with no side rad bracket and mesh side panel
I was looking into these coolers and I got seriously confused with the naming of 2 of them, one called Hyper 212 Black Edition and the other Hyper 212 Black which is like this Halo one but without the Halo part, I'm lost lol
One has the RGB fan and one has a black fan to give the stealth black look.
Just installed mine, and its only using one color? How can i change it to a rinbow like in the vid? :'(
