Solved Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Cooler

I guess i just got lucky on it working right

Luck works, I rely on it regularly just not all the time as they say lady luck is finicky !

If it works for you, that's great , however if someone had a case with worse airflow, this might very well make their CPU overheat. I'm fairly sure that if you changed from your current configuration to a push/pull configuration, your temperatures would get even better!

i don't know how much lower from 16c i can go but maybe i should test this and we can put this one in the books im up for the challenge but it'll take me some time to do it and test

That's running pretty freaking cool for now... don't really think turning the fan around for "push pull" would improve it by much but if you do get around to changing it let us know how much it drops the temps please... I recently got one of those 212+ models for my cpu but it doesn't run anywhere near as cool as yours and I do have it setup for push pull but I'm running a different CPU and used the supplied thermal paste rather then buying something better though i may go back in later if I decide to play around with overclocking... Even at boot I'm at 26C and during stress test it got around 60C but never exceeded that for the four hours I kept an eye on it but after that I'm uncertain though I ran the test for nearly 12 hours after unlocking the fourth core

I get idle core temps from 27 to 32 for highest core, and max temps about 52. Each persons temps will vary, and yours are no problem. And if Solarstarshines is getting 16c, push/pull, smush/pull, I'd leave it be

Core temp and Speed fan shows diff cpu temps on my rig, i think speed fan is telling porkies..

Check for your self peeps, 2 progs against speedfan hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I think you can trust Core Temp. I have it, but use Real Temp mostly (it's for Intel). But they give comparable results, and I know I can trust Real Temp.

I am a knob, for some reason all my programs were reading the same cpu temp. Some night.

I know... Just commenting with comparison and complimenting on his temps because they are fantastic

I do not even go above 50 now even with COD: Black Ops. Unless my pc sensors are lying.

 

[SPARTAN 001]

I'm fairly sure that 16C temps on the CPU are not correct, because that's pretty darn cold (60F). That's not really possible with air cooling unless you're in a very cold area. CPU temperatures also are not going to be 100% accurate as they diverge from the TJunction set by the manufacturer because they are only calibrated against one point. There are also problems where CPU temperature sensors are defective and get "stuck" at a certain temperature. Basically, you can never be 100% sure that your CPU is reporting correct temperatures.

I bought a Hyper 212 plus and I'm not that impressed. MY i5 2500k is OC to 4.2 and after running prime95, my temps using Hardware monitor are:

My stock cooler went up to 83 Hyper 212 plus core 0 67 core 1 73 core 2 71 core 3 70 package 76 Voltage 1.272 Fan Speed 1900rpm

I Played Arma 2 for 30 mins and load temp was 69oc Is this ok Idle temps are not really that great either: Well I thought they would be better especially after reading reviews on Newegg and people claiming theirs went as low as 29.

core 0 37 core1 38 core 2 39 core3 39 package 40

I have a Antec nine hundred gaming case and also have a 120mm fan on the side which I had to remove, as the heat sink gets in the way. Would it be ok to turn the heat sink sideways? Would adding a second fan make any difference?. I'm impressed with the performance of the cpu, but not happy with temps. I tried death race maxed out and got min 89fps max 240fps. With my Q6700 2800 I could only get 28min 45max during the race. So it's much faster. It's just a shame about the temps.

My Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Cooler is still serving me well.

Sorry my fault. Silly me had the fan the wrong way around. No wonder it was overheating. Working perfectly now and I've also bought a second fan. My temps are now 30 idle, around 50-65 while gaming at 4200mhz. My case is the Antec Nine Hundred and the only downside for me is that the heat sink is so big that it blocks my 200mm side fan, which I had to take off. Apart from that, it's an excellent Cooler for the price.

Haha, i had a laugh reading your post there, at least you have realised your mistake. Thank you for posting about it.

All the best.
