and I guess according to one user online wear a freaking oven mitt in case you burn your hand grabbing that heat sink. this website seems to recommend the same model number based on the amazon link they give as an okay "budget cooler"Īnd in this youtube video assuming this guy is using the same model number cooler as what I am using (that setup he's using looks identical to what I have in terms of the X shaped mounting bracket, backplate and screws) then looks like I'm all setĪlthough some people online say run your PC for 30 minutes.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth saving some money and just re-using this on say a Ryzen 5 5600x processor (to give an example ). here's the newegg link to the webpage product listing from back when I bought itĪnd I should point out that I don't think this is the "version 2" newer model I think it's the older one. Hope this helps - My 1600 is overclocked to 3.7Ghz 1.3 volts and stayed at 56 degrees while running the CPU-Z CPU stress test for about 20-25 minutes.My PC currently has the somewhat old (purchased year 2018) " Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 " model number RR-212E-20PK-R2. Mount the cooler using the bracket - you don't use any other original hardware from the cooler. Reinstall the plastic brackets that came with your motherboard (this is what got me stuck for a long time, it wasn't mentioned anywhere - luckily I am a hoarder with computer parts and kept these) - they're the plastic brackets above and below the socket in this picĬlean up any old paste on your CPU and Hyper 212 and reapply paste on your cpu To save any of you some trouble and assuming you already have the stock Wraith cooler installed, I had to do these steps: The instructions that come with the bracket are a joke - it took me about 45 minutes to realize how to install it. Micro Center sells the brackets for $2, so I decided to give it a try. After doing some quick googling, I found this reply by a CM employee: I thought I had to get a more modern cooler because Cooler Master's support list for the AM4 brackets did not include the Hyper 212 Plus. It's an older model cooler that predates the more popular Evo, but I have been using it since ~2011.
