Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex Review

Published:

I think Hyper 612 is strangely satisfying. It is distinguished that little stands out with it. He has a completely underestimated design, but his silver fans make it something like displaying in the right compilation. It looks more pricey than it is, and it is very good quality, although you can spend less on something equally effective.

The cost of the packaging of this air cooler was not spared. The compact air of the grudge is transferred to a bag with a fabric in which it is hidden inside. Nice accent, though a bit unnecessary. Take it out of the vagina, and in your design there are only a few flowers: a compact nippy main logo on the upper plate and the mentioned silver facade for the fan housing.

It is a robust unit with a height of 159 mm and weighing 1.134 kg. Make sure you measure the space between the processor and the side panel on the chassis, because it is the greatest concern for compatibility for this radiator. Probably everything will be fine, because many cases will be enough, but because it will be slightly higher than the motherboard than some contemporary graphics cards, there may be an occasional problem. You really don’t want it to leave on the side panel with tempered glass.

On both sides of the lonely thermal tower there is a Mobius 120p PWM fan. They are equipped with nicely braided cables and are installed with a rail system, which cuts off any panties with fastenings or screws. It is a neat system system, especially since the upper plate is magnetic and easily disappears, and provides uncomplicated access to the screws below, but there are disadvantages. Namely, you need to unscrew the mounts attached to the heat if you want to reverse the orientation of the fans, but you will also get a little bit in the fans with which you are talking.

Now potentially, yes, you can replace the attached fans for others, but they would have to be very similar in terms of size and shape to match the equipment used in Mobius models and removing the silver facade on both sides, it seems that the experiment in how far you can bend the plastic until it breaks. It’s all possible, but much more work than most.

At least you don’t have to be too concerned. They are not the quietest in the offer and much louder than the Arctic 36 freezer in my tests, but it is still on the silent side compared to most liquid coolers. Nowhere will you find lighting licking at the top of 612, including fans, but you should expect it after a pristine finish.

The installation is quite plain at the top 612. In Intel systems, the bracket and rear plate are supplied to puncture the holes delivered on the motherboard and protect the thumb. Easy color.

In AMD systems, replace the pre -installed mounting bracket on the motherboard using the provided, ensuring the correct orientation and protect your fingers.

The orientation is crucial here. The vertex 612 has a slight shift to six copper thermal trailers protruding from the Cold plate and ensures that away from RAM and the road of the motherboard. In this configuration there is no overhang over memory in this configuration, which is a good thing, because between the fan and Coldplate can only be about 35 mm high, which can be quite restrictive for choosing a memory module. You don’t have to worry about it, providing absolutely you want a radiator installed in this way. Any other way and would not fit my motherboard, shadowy hero Asus Rog Maximus Z790, which has massive heat VRM.

In my tests 612 the vertex works great compared to the freezer 36 and be silent! Dark Rock 5. It maintains Intel Core i7 14700K at a constant 60 ° C during five Metro Exodus Edition Edition Edition Metro Edition Edition, and although he fought more than the two in the Baldur’s Gate 3, which is more intense CPU, the average 78 ° C is not semi-earth.

In truly test test tests, Cinebench R23 and X264, he hit 100 ° C and remained close to it all the time, as in the case of all tested air cooler, release the NH-D15 G2 NOKTua Nh-D15 G2, although it is approaching. I found a more reasonable test to drop this system into 120 W BIOS – matching the best AMD game system, Ryzen 7 9800x3D – and restart the Cinebench R23. In this test, the tip 612 easily maintains the chip at a distance with an average of 54 ° C.

Buy if …

✅ You have a tempered glass side panel: To get pure performance, you can buy a freezer 36, although if you want your compilation to look slightly more impressive, the top 612 is where it is.

✅ You have AMD Ryzen or Intel Arrow Lake: Like most, this air cooler deals with used fries better than the scorching Intel 14 generation system.

Don’t buy if …

❌ You want a silent air radiator: This is quite silent because of being a air cooler without a pump found on all-in-one, but it is louder than others in its price range.

In general, a completely acceptable image of efficiency for the air cooler on one of the most -eager intel chips. Fortunately, most contemporary tokens are not so demanding, and this radiator will enter themselves.

As for how it stands compared to the competition, for example the mentioned freezer 36 or Dark Rock 5, it all boils down to the price. At 80 USD MSRP, the tip 612 is on the pricey side and it is arduous to justify even for its devilish appearance. However, he is on sale in Amazon for USD 65And how much can I say that it has been so for some time. This is much more competitive and it is easier to argue due to 612 vertices, when it is only $ 19 more than a freezer 36. However, I would not pay more.

At 65 USD it is priced like Dark Rock 5, which changes the price around this type of region. This is a more arduous decision, because Dark Rock works well only for one fan, but in a pinch I would take him a cooler master. It looks sharper and you must be in it to choose something more pricey than the freezer 36.

The same cannot be said about 612 a vertex in Great Britain. It is still discounting at Amazon at the address £ 55what looks like a fairly fixed price, but the freezer 36 is incomparable £ 23.

In the case of pure efficiency for dollar and prices for Decibel, the freezer 36 has a hyper 612 vertex rhythm. However, I really like style and I think it counts on something. To get more style on the next compilation, this is a good way to do it without spending an additional radiator.
