The Intel retail CPU cooler is very sufficient in the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge range. Ivy Bridge versions are going to be 77w or less, further eliminating the need for a high-end cooler.

Performanceįor Intel Xeon E3-1200 series processors, I would suggest that these CPU coolers are all overkill as 80-95w TDP is relatively low. For those wondering, this setup was barely audible at idle using the PWM motherboard controls. Just to see a cool picture of what two of these look like installed on a dual LGA 2011 motherboard: Dual Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVOĪs one can see, the coolers do not leave a ton of room, but one can fit them even on a server motherboard meant for dual Intel Xeon E5 series CPUs.

The Hyper 212 Plus does not suffer from this common installation caveat. Some CPU coolers have heatsinks that overhang their mounting points making installation very difficult using standard screwdrivers. The other big improvement over the Hyper 212 Plus is that the Hyper 212 EVO receives a newer fan and a second fan can be purchased and added. The heat pipes use what Cooler Master calls “Continuous Direct Contact” which more or less means that they have a continuous copper base in contact with the CPU heat spreader versus a mixed copper and aluminum base featured on the Hyper 212 Plus. The Hyper 212 EVO utilizes four heat pipes and an aluminum fin tower cooler design. I use both the Hyper 212 Plus and Hyper 212 EVO models quite often on personal systems and around the lab (see below) so I can do a complete installation in about three minutes at this point, including thermal paste installation.

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a very easy cooler to install but be warned, it is likely too large to fit in a 4U server. Servers and workstations often come with a chassis that includes all necessary fans but on 3U and larger enclosures, typically active coolers are utilized. This is going to be fairly typical for a LGA 2011 workstation with either and Intel Xeon or Intel Core i7 CPU.

Let’s take a look at what Cooler Master offers. With the 22nm process, Ivy Bridge runs very cool and soon we are expecting very low power consumption Intel Xeon E3 chips also based off of the 22nm process. I have tried the Hyper 212 EVO on my Ivy Bridge based Core i7-3770K and have found it to be more than adequate. I will say that the focus of my CPU cooler reviews tends to be the LGA 2011 platform as it runs very hot.
Generally speaking, with the Hyper 212 line first launched in 2007, enthusiasts have seen Cooler Master deliver in this segment quite regularly. The intent of this Cooler Master lineup is to provide good performance at a high value. Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 line has been very popular because it provides competitive cooling at a very competitive price.
