This fan was selected for use in my new desktop computer, and my experience with it thus far has been positive. It looks good, with attractive color accents that enhance the overall appearance of my new desktop. Beyond aesthetics, the fan exhibits a robust and sturdy construction, instilling confidence in its long-term durability. Most importantly, it performs well, and moves a lot of air, which is crucial for maintaining optimal system performance.The fan's sturdy build is a notable advantage, suggesting resilience and longevity. Additionally, the appealing color scheme adds a welcome visual element to the computer's internal components. Its capacity to move a substantial amount of air is a critical pro, ensuring efficient cooling and contributing to the overall stability and performance of the system.At this time, no drawbacks have been identified.In conclusion, this fan proves to be a solid choice for a computer build, offering a combination of effective cooling performance, durable construction, and pleasing visual design. Its ability to move a significant volume of air, coupled with its sturdiness and attractive colors, makes it an excellent choice.

It works very well. Efficient CPU heatsink that I have paired with a 3000 RPM fan. With a proper fan curve, my CPU don't go past 71 degrees at full load. A RYZEN 7 5800XT. Which I have AMD Precision Boost Overdrive enabled and set to overclock to 5.1GHZ. Highly recommend.

Works well with 5900x, had to adjust the fan curve but that’s normal. Comfortably keeps the cpu <75C for a cooler that touts 230 TDP, and 5900x putting out 105, this model works very well.

I had an aging, 13 year old liquid cooler that was keeping my i7 9700F at 80C during gaming sessions. I figured it was time for an upgrade anyway so I bought an i5 14400F at a low price and then this Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3. My i5 stays around 67C during gaming and the overall PC noise is quiet (which after 30 years of PC gaming... ugh... I want quiet!)I like it a lot and think the quality and price are excellent. Thank you!

I purchased the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black to use in a small-footprint mATX build. I was replacing an aging PC and wanted to reduce the footprint. I was also going for a no RGB system as this system is also being used as a Plex server and will be on most of the time.The cooler looks good and fits well in my Cooler Master Q300L V2 case. Since LGA 1851 has the same mounting hole spacing, it is compatible with the new boards out of the box. The fan is decent and the cooler block is compact enough to not block the RAM slots. The fan clips are annoying, but I know they're generally a staple at coolers at this price point. The thermal paste that was supplied with the cooler was adequate.Installation was OK, though I experienced a couple of issues. First, the instructions are all pictograms, and their images for the fan clips are lacking. The bigger issue is that one of the size adjusters came off the mounting bracket and the screw fitting fell out. I got it back in place, but the adjusting slider would not lock in place anymore, so I had to support it with a finger as I tried to connect the screw. It eventually worked, but it's an issue with the cheap mounting bracket they provide.It does a decent job cooling my Core Ultra 7 265k. Idle temps with an ambient room temp of 23.5 Celsius are 32-34 Celsius depending on the core. Under load (Cinebench R23 multi-core test) some cores peaked at about 85 Celsius when the processor entered turbo mode but then cooled back to high 60s to mid 70s Celsius when the system dropped back to PL1. I have my PL2 set to 210 watts with PL1 at the default of 125 w, with the system set to run at PL2 for 64 seconds. The fan is very quiet at idle, and does not get that loud when it spins up.This is a good value cooler that will work with a variety of processors, though if you are looking to get peak performance or use the system for heavy gaming, you may want to look for a more robust cooler.

Has been keeping my computer quiet and cool even comes with extra prongs to attach another fan if needed so that's a 5 for me no issues or overheating.

Amazing cpu cooler for 35$! Took me down almost 20 degrees while playing games and 20 degrees just idling

Installation was simple on a Ryzen 9700x and temps are good, so far no complaints
