Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

Installed this item on a Core i5 2500k and have been using it for some time now. After monitoring it's temps after several hours of Prime95 and other programs, I am very satisfied with this item. i purchased this for 36 dollars, at that price point it is one of the best heatsinks I have heard of. Consistently gets great reviews from professional sites, which is the main reason I bought it. Temps for my system was around 25-30celsius idle and 45-54c avg on full load with Arctic Silver 5 TIM. Temps were taken from program core temp v1.0. Cooler is very light, has excellent mounting system for socket 1155, isn't too tall, and is pretty darn quiet. Must note, the main difference between this Evo version and the Hyper plus version is that the heat pipes are grouped together touching each other instead of spread apart and has more uniform base. Highly recommended

Pretty awesome cooler. Only took 15 minutes to install and works like a charm. I have a Phenom II x4 965 3.4 ghz O.C.'d to 3.8 ghz. which are famous for running hot. Before with the stock cooler Idle 39c and Full Load 61c and now Idle is 34c and Full Load is 49c running prime at 3.8 ghz. Note that I only have the one fan running in a push config. but plan on getting another to pull. Should be good for another 3c or 4c decrease. I almost forgot to mention for all those concerned about the height for ram, the Corsair XMS3 ram is 32mm high and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is 37mm. Would highly recommend this 212 EVO.
