Introduction of the Coolermaster 212 Plus

If you feel cooling off your processor is not important, then you shouldn't be a computer hardware enthusiast. Its a good thing Coolermaster thinks it's extremely important. They feel it's so important that they are producing more coolers than cases these days. In the past week, we have seen two brand new Coolermaster coolers: the TX3, which we reviewed a few days ago, and now our latest sample; the 212 Plus.

The 212 Plus is the larger brother of the TX3, though there are several differences between the two. The 212 Plus is aimed at the individual who is looking for a little bit more performance, but doesn't want to give up the bank to do it. Coolermaster accomplished this by giving the 212 Plus more surface area and four heat pipes to conquer the dreaded enemy named heat. We know this is enough to outperform the smaller brother, but is it enough to compete against the other big dawgs on the market?

A word from Coolermaster about the 212 Plus

Succeeding the popular Hyper 212, the Hyper 212 Plus carries on the legacy of providing a great balance of performance and noise level during high and low speed operations.

Hyper 212 Plus is Cooler Master's first cooler to be equipped with an all-in-one mounting solution that includes LGA 1156 and 1366. Direct Contact heat-pipe is now also utilized in this latest update.
