Quality


I would really recommend it does provide good quality cooling for cpu for its price


However with the proliferation of inexpensive and effective aio water coolers i dont really see the need to use air coolers anymore


With the stock fan it idled around 58c60c now im getting around 36c40c during idle and regular use


This thing is whisper quiet by comparison and now with the cpu overclocked x19 it has never hit over 64c under load

Competitiveness


No aircooled cpu cooler is better than the 212 and while it may be tricky for a firsttime user to install it does the job amazingly well


Regardless my cpu stays plenty cool under heavy load and i figured it was worth the cost for my first serious build since i bou...  Read More

    I had issues with a stock i7 cooler mounting to my pcb contacts werent good and was causing temperatures of over 90c under full load


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Little pissed the amazon pic showed two fans for the 212 plus truth is it came with mounting brackets for one more fan but only one fan

    This same product is on newegg right now for 15 with the rebate so i spent 33 for the same product essentially bit of a ripoff

    Quiet in normal use supports decent overclock


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its a fan cooler not liquid so will have to clean the dust from time to time to keep it fully functional


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I did not do this so i guess it did not keep my cpu cool enough because after about a year it stopped staying stable overclocked at 4ghz or even 3


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The fan started making noise about six months in of regular use but it still works fine and the noise goes away after about five minutes
