Succeeding the popular Hyper 212, the Hyper 212 Plus carries on the legacy of providing a great balance of performance and noise level during high and low speed operations. Direct Contact heat-pipe is now also utilized in this latest update.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 Twin-Tower Heatsink CPU Cooler
- Compact size but isn't recommenced for very small cases.
- Build is of low quality, but who cares if it serves the purpose for which it has been built.
- The only reason for the 4 star is because of the size! It's not much wider than many coolers so I cant see there being too much of an issue fitting onto any specific motherboard.
- The size of half a bag of sugar , its BIG !. So check the specs and the space you have available - micro atx case need not apply.
- The disadvantage is its size. It filled the entire room inside of my minitower. Very tiny disadantage is its bearing.
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
- Excellent cooling. Infinitely better than the stock Intel cooler. Also great size.
- Very compact efficient cooler. Great CPU cooler.
- The sheer size and weight is just amazing.
- This is the best weight/size/price performer you can get for any CPU.
- It's very difficult to mount this beast due to its size, weight, and method of installation.

What customers say about "Features"
ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 Twin-Tower Heatsink CPU Cooler
- Silent and good as advertised, temperatures in the high 30's. Very Satisfied.
- Many features like twin towers and complete copper plate for CPU contact make it work well. Doesn't look the best, though you might prefer a design in which you cant see the fan.
- This was replacement for my 5 years old ARCTIC Freezer 13 that had broken fun speed monitor. It is really quite. I like it.
- With default bios setting, motherboard gives an error message "CPU fan error please press F1 to setup" during booting time because fan only starts running after processor gets some heat.
- If you have already purchased this fan, consider replacing the fan that spins at low RPM instead of 0 RPM in initial stage to protect your CPU and to enable error message if CPU fan fails to run.
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
- The fan mounting brackets are tool-less, and comes off easy enough.
- The mounting bracket is very sturdy metal, it doesn't use the cheap plastic clips that the stock cooler came with.
- It is very customizable in terms of fan placement.
- It runs very quiet and seems to be working great so far.
- Cools very well. Easy install. Great cooling for the price.
