To do that, we are going to be using a new test system for entry-level coolers in a closed case using a Ryzen 9 5950X that has been modified to run at three different thermal loads. But at the same time, you also have to remember that this engineering has lasted the test of time, so obviously there has got to be something to it, especially since you guys are all recommending that we look at this again in 2021. It’s meant to basically replace your stock cooler, give you lower temperatures and less noise, and do so at an attractive prices. Before we jump in I really want it to mention again that this cooler is not meant to compete with high-end solutions. It is also paired with Cooler Masters new SickleFlow 120 fan to improve cooling and acoustic performances. You get the cooler itself, the fan, mounting hardware for the supported sockets, a small syringe of thermal paste, and an extra set of fan clips in case you would like to add a fan and use the Hyper 212 Evo in Push/Pull.

That pretty much wraps up the installation process, so it’s time to move on to performance. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 is redesigned with an Asymmetrical tilt to guarantee RAM Clearance, along with revised brackets to assure the ease of installation.

But I’m going to try and recreate that with a separate SickleFlow fan than I have from another Cooler Master cooler and install that onto the 212 Evo, because we couldn’t actually find a V2 version in time for this review.

There is also an updated SickleFlow series fan for better acoustics and airflow at lower RPMs. First, the V2 version comes with a new stepped back heatpipe design for a little bit better memory compatibility, along with a revised mounting kit, and that is super important like we are going to see pretty soon because the original 212 Evo has an ancient mounting kit that is just a bunch of parts and is a pain in the butt to install. That V2 version isn’t meant as a replacement for the original 212 Evo, rather it’s being sold right along in parallel with it, and it has a bunch of improvements that you need to know about to make a more informed buying decision.

Initially I used a MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC that is not compatible with Coffee Lake CPUs, I switched to a MSI Z370I GAMING PRO CARBON AC. There is now a V2 version of this that isn’t quite as widely available, but it’s out there and it cost just a little bit more. On the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo the screws extend far enough for the backplate to be held in place by the bolts, it does not affect how tight the cooler is mounted on the CPU side. I also want to address the elephant in the room and that is how Cooler Master has modified this cooler over time.
