HOW TO Install Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo on AMD AM4, AM5 and Intel LGA 115x, 1200 & 1700

[@laron.henderson]

Thanks so much man! I just picked this up and got it installed! I noticed a difference immediately from my old cooler which was running higher than I would like it to

[@Pixel8DesignWorx]

I bought this too, how can i control the rgb lights and speed?

[@1magin3]

What cpu u running bro m planning to get this for my 7600 amd with 4070 build

[@Shank2485]

is it still good?

[@rickgeller6043]

That was one of if not the best cooler install videos. I think even I could do it.

Got this today and just finished installing this. 3600x Idling went from 57 to 40c 😭😭. Thanks for the review man 💥

Have a mid range setup. Ryzen 5 5600x w stock cooler. Easy to remove after I ran the pc for a little. Easy install. Excellent review. Was pushing 60-67 when running BO6 on Decent settings. Now around 40-45

[@Phalaxis83]

Banger install guide as always fams. Great for beginners starting out with PC's and even long time builders who may have taken a break from building.

[@Aethelbeorn]

Meh. It was $40 at my local best buy. 7800x3d and stays cool.

[@Zhurak]

my water cooler pump just died and I got this air cooler to fill the gap while I wait for my RMA replacement. It was only 30 bucks and honestly it cools just as good as my 360 AIO water cooler. I may end up just leaving it on as it has a lot less wires and is way easier to take on and off if needed. About to add a second fan to the backside to increase air flow. Awesome unit! Cooler Master makes great stuff. Im getting idles at like 36-39 all day long and load of only 60-70. This is on a 13900K by the way also, so no slouch on the CPU either. Buy it!

[@paramesh448]

for amd you dont need to change bottom backplate ?

[@bocconom]

I know it is a year out but your video was really helpful as I am building my first AM5 build with the newer design. I only previously installed an older version of the 212 Black on an AM4 board.

[@F_Bardamu]

I'm sorry but those 4 screws with springs mounted on them are a freaking nightmare to install. The springs push the screws up while you're trying to screw them down. This mecanism makes the screw move away from the bolts while you screw them. It also forces you to tighten your grip on the rad, but you can't because the thermal pastes makes the rad slip on the CPU! Absolute nonsense. I ended up breaking one of the screws inside the bracket, which is a pain in the ass. I hoped they'd fix that in the updated Hyper 212, but nope. Installing a cooler shouldn't feel like you're playing dice with your CPU.

[@essentialeugene]

I had that same problem.

[@ogbladee]

The springs were so tight I thought I was either going to break the motherboard or break the cpu trying to get the bolts to thread into the motherboard bracket

[@Legionary04]

What if you don't have a 3 PIN 5V ARGB header on your motherboard? Will it still work?

[@jay_._.]

Man, I loved the original Hyper 212. Great to see a refresh and Banger of an instruction video fams. Keep up the hard work

[@jonathanraffaele]

Love your videos!! Watched this, and the one on the Corsair fans with the lighting hub, and you're the only one who made a concise video about these products that answered some little questions I had. Keep up the good work!

[@deu6]

You are not clear on where to clip the fan. What is "the front side" and what is "each side" there's 4 bloody sides

[@distorteduzi]

i know im late but it doesn't matter which side you do it on. Just make sure the front side is facing you (the good looking part)

[@cartersmith6090]

That’s why I’m here

I installed this on my 4690k and its been lovely for a cheap cpu cooler

[@dustiestspade339]

Thanks for the video I was switching my old hyper 212 black edition and it had 4 hex nuts I liked the new one because the installation screws are flush so it's impossible to over tighten

[@mwurk5000]

Tried to follow the video but now im stuck... My mobo doesnt have any protruding holes in it. I checked the bracket from my old cpu cooler but no matter what it wont match up.. Not really sure what to do now :/

did you ever solve this issue? im having the same problem

[@BuzzTec]

The Legend has returned 🙌

[@alexisreynosa1093]

I installed this fan and went fine but problem is that it’s overheating or it says so it’s at 100 degrees,should I let it run for a while so it programs the temperature or did I do something wrong

[@GearSeekers]

Check your installation

[@SingledRS]

Question, if my motherboard doesn't have a 3 pin argb header/connector slot and only a 4 pin 5v one what can I do? I read online you can buy a Coolmaster Addressable RGB Led Controller. Would that do the job? Please help

[@ragnarocking]

Is it necessary to plug in the RGB cable? I plan on purchasing this for use on an older motherboard that does not have RGB functionality. Thanks

[@golbiii]

Did you need it ?

[@agent_smith...]

Yes you can run this without the RGB cable connected to the mobo or RGB hub. Get you a little zip tie and tie the cable up out of the way and boom you are done. Or leave the cable dangling like a madman... whichever you prefer. :)

[@ragnarocking]

@@agent_smith... thanks!

[@ragnarocking]

@@golbiii didn’t buy it yet, though according to @agent_smith… you don’t need to plug it in.

[@aaleescorner5400]

if Coolermaster just add some additional fans hooks so that u can add another rgb fans for exhaust or push and pull configuration for more performance and hide those bracket from the other side

[@agent_smith...]

Bought mine a couple days ago and it came with 2 sets of clips. I was pleased to see this because I had no idea where to get them so I was about to Macguyver something.

[@loga_912]

Can't we just install the cooler without the backplate on intel mobos?

[@newsofredemption]

Hi I recently put together the LED version of the hyper 212 cooler, I was curious as to how tight the heatsink should be, if i try wiggle it with my hands it doesn't move ALOT but It moves ever so slightly but nothing too major that's worrying its not gonna come off. it's quite screwed in and lowered temps by 10 degrees should I tighten it more or should it be good? Thanks Old cpu stock cooler was giving cpu temps (idle) 38-41 now with new cooler its 29-34 does this show its fine and doesn't need to be tightened further?

[@AlexADM665]

Building my first computer and this helped a lot thank you so much dude 😊😊

To any body installing this on an AM4, the backplate comes with the motherboard, it looks part like a that could tossed away buts that's the plate you use with the fan.

[@syborgfps]

Do you have to use both wires if you dont plan on using the RGB? I read somewhere it would just be a default rainbow color if you only plug in the 4 pin.

[@Patriot1938]

Hello, I understand correctly that there is no need to put spacer rings for the AM5 socket?

Absolutely!

[@Athenian888]

What happens if I want to replace my existing stock cooler and I don't want to unscrew everything and take out the motherboard simply for installing a new cpu cooler? Is there a way?In the past,Coolermaster coolers had some bolts with which you could fasten their cooler backplate in the back of the motherboard and it was extremely helpful.Does this specific cooler have this option? Otherwise it is useless unless you are installing everything for the first time.Thanks.

[@GearSeekers]

You can do it it's just a little bit trickier.

[@skoprowski]

Saddens me they changed to wire connectors for the heatsink fans. The previous plastic connectors they used were so much easier to use when you need to remove and reattach the fan while the heatsink was already installed and motherboard mounted in the case. They also always had a second set of plastic connectors in the box if you wanted to add a second fan too.

[@osvaldoolivas1390]

Hi, I’m stuck on the AMD part with the backplate. My AMD does not have those socket like things you put the cooler into. Does cooler master just expect every AMD to have those pre installed? Mine cooler did not come with those

Is it possible to rotate the cooler 90°,as was possible with the original version? The mount doesn't look as versatile. I like to move the heart straight up in chassis with air vent in the top.

[@jimbarrofficial]

which way does the fan point? there does not seem to be any instruction on which side of the fan clips to the heatsink. you seem to be pointing it away from the rear and toward the front of the machine, unless I'm wrong.

I remember the good old days of PC building. Been an AMD Fan since the 486/5x86 days to now. I miss the old days when you really could squeeze meaningful amounts of performance out of those old chips. What I don't miss are the exploding power supplies of years past.. LOL

[@hansvogel4335]

Hello, I would like to know if I replace this original fan with the new Mobius 120mm which has 78cfm and 3.60p, will it improve performance? Thanks!

[@Criiies]

Seems like a bad fan design for a heatsink. Wouldnt you want the fan to "seal" onto the fin stack instead of having huge gaps everywhere? Id be curious to see the performance compared to, for example, the deepcool ak400.

[@syedarman4720]

Exactly what I was thinking

Will it fit in the Cooler Master NR200P? The older Hyper 212 Black Edition didn't fit with the tempered glass side panel.

[@masterdftw4983]

Height is listed on coolermaster for both the case and cooler

[@GR-cd2kx]

My NH-U12A fits which has a height of 158mm as long as the side radiator bracket is removed. note that this won’t work with the tempered glass version! The 212 spec page says it’s 156mm so it should fit with no side rad bracket and mesh side panel

Mine is plugged into my mobo so I use either MSI center or signal RGB to mess with the colors and how they flash or whatever. If your mobo doesn't have the ARGB pin headers you will need either a case with an RGB hub or you have to buy a 3rd party RGB controller. They all cost about the same so its your choice which to get if you need one.
