They are probably best known for their cases, but they also sell power supplies, fans, heatsinks and notebook cooling solutions. So, I ordered one through for this test to see if it has what it takes to cool a heat monster like an overclocked LGA1366 quad processor.Ĭooler Master is a company that is pretty well known in the computer industry which has been around since the 1990’s and they sell a wide variety of computer related products. It also is commonly available for less than $30 delivered from several stores, which is significantly less than competitors, too. It is a conventional tower type direct-touch heatpipe design, much in the same vein as the high performance (and cost) offerings from companies such as Corsair, Thermalright, Noctua and Prolimatech.
Today, I am going to take a look at a price/performance type heatsink that I have seen recommended on the forums quite a bit when someone is on a limited budget, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus.
