CM Hyper 212 Evo V2 – Evolution of the legend among coolers

Cooling, CPU coolers, Extra tests | | Pavel Sekerka

At the end of 2020, I prepared another review of a middle-class cooler for you. The Hyper 212 Evo V2 from Cooler Master is the latest model from the popular Hyper 212 series. This latest upgrade offers a simplified mounting system, 100% compatibility with RAM modules and also a quiet fan. Its construction and specifications place it in the same group as the SPC Fera 3 or Arctic Freezer 34. So I’m expecting a very tight fight.

Conclusion and rating

Hyper 212 Evo V2 is a good cooler overall. Pleasantly quiet fan operation is complemented by solid cooling efficiency. The build quality is on a high level and the overall appearance is minimalistic and calm.

I was pleasantly surprised by the simple and straightforward mounting system as well as the non-traditional mounting of the fan. The only negatives that I can think of are a slightly higher price compared to the direct competition and also, unfortunately, the very limited availability of the cooler on the Czech and Slovak markets.

All things considered, however, it is a solid cooler and you will not make a mistake by purchasing one. For this, the cooler receives our award ‘Approved’ , which we will now award to all products that pass our tests without any serious flaws.

The goal is to make sure you don’t miss any of the information we managed to obtain. Read more “Plans straight from the brain: We visited Cooler Master HQ” »

If aluminium fans, then fully aluminium (including the impeller)

For it to be possible to speak of a fully metallic construction, the basic prerequisite is that the blades are also made of such material. This applies to Cooler Master’s “A” series fans, whereas the lower-end—or cheaper, interpret that however you prefer—model uses aluminium only for the frame. Yes, this can still be described as a metal fan, but it is somewhat of a… “hybrid” design, although one equipped with RGB lighting as well.
