About the Product

The unique heatsink design consisting of 102 fins and 4 double-sided heatpipes offers excellent cooling performance and improve heat transfer from the CPU. Tested by Hinnavaatlus, the Freezer Xtreme outperformed the stock cooler in reducing the CPU temperature by 18 degrees.

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.

ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 Twin-Tower Heatsink CPU Cooler

SUperb, Best for all intel MB easy fitting instalation Fan shuold be two nistead of one and must on both the side, Ideal for i5 and i7 as well as Gaming.
Kept pc temperature on full load around 60c in summer quite happy with this And also easy installation as compared to other coolers.
It is working perfectly but the bottom of the copper sink plate is very small.Other wise amazing.
Works as Expected. My max temperature stays at 40-45c. Probably one of the best cooler at this price point.
This cooler is very good at keeping the CPU temperatures at lower, and its quiet too. I am satisfied with the product.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler

Very high quality. The gold-standard in air cooling.
It works great! Keeps the CPU cool.
The fan that comes with it pushes a good amount of air.
Very nice price point for great cooling, hard to find anything to gripe about, really.
This unit offers good cooling and expandability.

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.
