How to install the Hyper 212 Black Edition - AM4 socket - Ryzen CPU

This is my second annual and updated tutorial on how to install the hyper 212 black edition from Cooler Master. Just purchased a new hyper 212 from Best Buy in February of 2021 and I've noticed 2 differences from the ones I bought in 2020. The first is positive...They've included a fan splitter so you can add a 2nd fan to the heat-sink. The second isn't so positive in my opinion...They've stopped using the plastic clips that attach the fans to the heat-sink and have replaced them with a set of wire clips....so now attaching the fan/fans to the heat-sink is a little more challenging especially if your new to pc building or if this will be your first attempt to install the hyper 212. Even with that said, it's more of a small inconvenience than a negative. This cooler will keep your CPU nice and cool! LONG LIVE THE HYPER 212 FROM COOLER MASTER!
For all you beginners and first time builders out there, don't be afraid to drop your questions in the comment section below. I will be happy to try and answer them. No question is to dumb. Wasn't that long ago I was where you're at!!!

Thank you for a clear, informative video! I’m an experienced PC builder but assembling the mounting plate of a second hand cooler without instructions was a guessing game.

[@byDavee]

Thanks so much for this Scott! I tried to install the Hyper 212 when I first built my computer a few days ago but couldn't get it to fit after following the poor instructions that were included with it, so I ended up just using the stock cooler, but I wasn't so impressed with the temperatures I was getting. After following this video today I managed to fit it and am already seeing much better temperatures on my Ryzen 5 3600. Thanks again :)

[@ScottsPC]

That's awesome my friend! ⚡️ The included instructions are poor! Glad the video helped and have fun with your new build! ⚡️

[@Tibetan1962]

I have installed several 212s over the years, but never on an AM4, and not in 6-8 years. Your vid ticked all the right boxes and my black edition went onto my new 5800X with no issues. My fan has enough clearance to add another 16GB of RAM in the future, and the 212BE cools the 5800X JUST ENOUGH to keep the CPU under 75 C while running Cinebench R20 (way more load than this workstation PC is likely to see day to day). Thanks a bunch!

[@ScottsPC]

Really appreciate the comment my friend and just glad the video could help out some....Good luck to you!

[@Rhaspun]

I just replaced my stock intel CPU fan with the V2 version of this CPU cooler/heatsink. It was easy. It is quieter than the Intel CPU cooler. Even when the speed increases to around 900 to 1000 it is still quieter than the Intel fan. I really don't hear much of an increase in fan sound when it spins up to 900 rpm. The V2 was easy to install. Especially since it has the plastic clips.

Unlike the top result for this config, you actually go through EVERY step and don't skip anything. Thanks for a great tutorial! One thing I don't think you hit that tripped me up: the straight AMD brackets that go directly on the heat sink can very easily be flipped around and installed the wrong way, changing the orientation of the screws.

[@ScottsPC]

Appreciate the comment! Tried to be perfect... But so many nuances to installing the 212....Can't catch them all... Lol... Thanks again

They must have kept the plastic fan clips on the LED Turbo [twin fan] version as that is what was included on my one, those metal ones look a pain! You could install the fans before you put the mobo back in the case, that makes it a lot easier.

Followed this guide step by step and got to the point where i had to install the heat sync over the brackets but the screws won’t actually go into hold. so for now i’m lost there and have no fan for the CPU. i’ve been at it for 7 hours. will try again tomorrow.

So do you have to take the fans off when setting up the brackets? Or was that just for clearer view for the audience?

I'm installing it on a LG1150 on a Asus maximus hero VI with 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengence. The single fan is pretty close to the RAM. Does it matter which side the fan is on ?

[@ScottsPC]

If possible I would definitely try and put the fan on the right side of the heatsink to push air toward the rear of your case. You can put a fan on the left side only, but it won't be as effective as a "pull" fan.....
