What customers say about "Key Specs"

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler

It cools just fine and I could probably get a pretty nice over clock.
This is a great economical cooler if you have space. Cools very well.
It beats out stock cooling in well coolness and quietness so it's great just could've been better.
Keeps FX 6300 nice and cool with slight over clock.
Does what it is designed to do, keeps the CPU cool!

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

It's the best air cooling device I've owned, simply incredible performance for the price.
Cools processor very well, can achieve between a 10-15 degree temperature drop.
The fan itself is removable from the cooling fins so you can switch it to the other side to change the direction if necessary.
For quiet air cooling, I don't think you can get much better than this without spending way more.
It cools the CPU great and has great airflow through the entire case to help other parts like the RAM.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler

I have plenty of clearance around the CPU cooler, no issue with sizes, no issue with heights.
The size is perfect doesn't block any component.
Fits easily in a standard computer case. Easy to install.
Good fit on LGA1150 motherboard. Nice size.
Quiet. Easy to install on AM3 board.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

The metal cooling assembly appears to be well constructed, although the fan seems very light duty.
I like the larger sized fan and the fact that it hangs over other key parts of the mobo, keeping them much cooler.
I thought weight might be an issue however this heatsink is light as a feather.
I literally had to change pc cases to accommodate the size.
The heatsink is very heavy so the new mount you have to install is made to disperse the weight and not put too much strain on one small spot on the motherboard.

What customers say about "Features"

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler

It is insanely quiet for how much heat it is dumping. Whisper quiet.
It's amazingly quiet! Would recommend.
It is very quiet. Not sure if the faint noise I hear is from one of the fans or the hard drive. Systems is whisper quiet.
It is relatively low profile, able to fit in my mid-tower PC that is 6 7/8" ( 175 mm) wide. It is very quiet.
It beats out stock cooling in well coolness and quietness so it's great just could've been better.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler

The fan speed is automatically controlled by the system software, depending on how much cooling the CPU needs at the moment.
The fan hasn't noticeably raised the noise level in my PC, which is fairly quiet.
Copper heat pipes just look cool. The copper pipes definitely made a huge difference.
The fan does emit some noise, so I swapped it out for a Noctua fan and again had it them on the lowest settings and i had roughly the same performance, but much quieter.
The only problem this has to me is that it has quite a loud fan, a pair of Good headphones is a requirement to drown out the background noise.
