and FVAfter spending time with both and having a chance to compare the two what do we think? Installing the Intel water cooling, as much as I hate it, is still better than trying to install the Hyper 612 PWM. Its size makes it nearly impossible to...

The Coolermaster Hyper 612 PWM heatsink stands 163mm tall and weighs a pretty hefty 806 grams. The cooler is compatible with Intel socket 775/1155/1156 and LGA1366 processors, but crucially not LGA2011 Sandy Bridge-E CPUs. AMD socket AM2/AM3/FM1...

The eighth Hyper cooler from Cooler Master turned out a very good and efficient product with all the advantages of a contemporary CPU cooler. It comes in a secure and informative packaging, is completely universal and is bundled with an additional...

The Cooler Master Hyper 612 PWM is a very large CPU cooler. Adding a second fan, while decreasing your temperatures, will make the cooler much larger and may even cause some clearance issues. Due to its large size, this cooler might not be right for...

I hate to ever sound like a fan boy, and I always look at things in a product by product basis, but there are just times you have to acknowledge a trend. After a rash of coolers with some of the most impossible mounting systems and questionable build...

We think the Cooler Master Hyper 612 PWM has the stuff it takes to be one of the better coolers on the market. In our test we saw the cooler compete neck and neck with the NZXT Havik 140 and the Scythe Yasya both we felt were pretty good coolers. It...
