Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

...but was initially skeptical that this thing could cool a 16 core 3950x. Admittedly, I only purchased this as I wanted air cooling and the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, and the Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black were both backordered when I was ready to order. So far temperatures seem very reasonable, 30s with no load, 40-60s under medium working load, though I have yet to run any benchmarks to really put heavy load on the Ryzen and generate extra heat. Pros: - Working well so far on an AMD 3950x (Note: I am using a Phantek Enthoo Pro full size case with 6 PWM controlled fans which no doubt helps airflow) - Looks GREAT! - the LEDs add some visual interest but overall effect is still understated. - Heat sink fins sit high leaving plenty of space for tall RAM (RAM clearance is an issue with some other air coolers) - Quiet - I have yet to hear it Cons: - Mounting bracket has too much plastic - I hope a future revision makes a mount at least as sturdy as standard (metal) mounts with NO plastic! - Mounting bracket sits very loose on an AMD until top CPU cooler portion is added. I almost returned the cooler thinking I received a defect, especially as no mention of the loose fit in the manual, but Cooler Master confirmed the loose fit is by design via email so I kept it. I still shimmed the mount with plastic washers to tighten the fit before completing install. (The loose plastic mount is why I removed a star.) - Check the CPU cooler depth on your case as this thing is quite tall. The Phantek Enthoo Pro is a nice match as there is space between the CPU cooler and the panel glass after install. ###################### Update after 6 months ###################### This cooler has been problem free for 6 months including keeping temps under control through long gaming and rendering sessions. Moving review to 5 stars.
