Folding fin design with good air guiding ensuring high efficiency heat dissipation.

I was considering a AIO watercooling, but didnt think it.

Adopts the innovative patented CDC™ (Continuous Direct Contact) technology - side-by-side heat pipe configurations with no gaps creating a smooth surface for heat conduction. The CPU temperatures were running really high (almost 80 degrees).

Without fans, the big fin area will give you dissipation for passive usage.2 generates only max 20 dB to provide a good operating environment. Meanwhile let's have a look at the full Technical Specification. The packaging has received a boost, and looks more modern and decorative now without any superfluous colorful design. There's also a bit of cleverness going on at the contact plate but we'll get to that in due course. Under the hood then we have 6圆mm heat pipes passing through an Aluminium stack. The goal of /r/hardware is a place for quality hardware news, reviews, and intelligent discussion.

Save from the option of having a plastic front cowling around the fan the 612 is very much a no frills affair, but don't go thinking for a second that this is a criticism, there's something very honest and old school about Aluminium finned tower coolers that aren't dressed up to look like the prince of darkness, and at just a smidge under £40 the 612 represents a very reasonable proposition for the system builder on a budget or the chap who just wants something better than the stock cooler without breaking the bank. It's been a while since we had a Traditional Tower CPU cooler to look at here at OC3D, but in the Cooler Master Hyper 612 v2 we have just that. Once mounted, the mounting tension seemed good, but like a lot of these tower style heatsinks that use an X type crossbar to tension the assembly, it will rotate on top of the processor with a moderate side load on the heatsink.
