Testing
As I mentioned we installed the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition in our Ryzen test system, which is comprised of the following hardware.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X470-PRO
Graphics Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition
Memory: HyperX Predator RGB DDR4-2933 16GB
Storage: Gigabyte UD Pro 512GB
Power: Corsair RM850x
We will be comparing the to the following CPU coolers tested on the same hardware.
– AMD Wraith Prism RGB
– AMD Wraith Spire
– Cooler Master MasterAir MA410M
– Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P
– Cryorig C7 Cu
– Cryorig H7 Plus
– Reeven Brontes
– Scythe Ninja 5
For performance testing we will first test idle temperatures. These are taken on the Windows 10 desktop and hour after the system has been turned on.
Moving on to load testing we will be running the AIDA64 system stability test with the CPU only checked. This puts a full load on our CPU. We run this test for 1 hour and record the highest temperature throughout the test.
Looking at these results I was very impressed. This cooler is smaller than most of the coolers on this list, but it beat out almost all of them! Now that is very impressive!
