I stumbled upon this item on accident. I was originally looking at the OCZ Vendetta II but decided to pick this up instead because it was $7 cheaper, excellent online reviews, and future-proof ability. Installation was a hastle because once more I had to remove motherboard from the CoolerMaster 690, but I enjoy the peace of mind with a well mounted hefty heatsink vs the push pins used by other heatsinks of the same proportions.
I have yet to take advantege of using dual 120mm fans, the factory fan seems to be suffice to keep my 3.75Ghz 1.36vcore e5200 consistant at 52C 24hrs on prime95. I cannot distinguish between the noise of this and the three other stock fans in my case except for my XFX9800GT's factory fan. I will recommend this to any enthusiast and even lable the product a "must have". I am looking forward to mounting this on a future planned socket 1366 or 1156. Have a good day.

Installed the Hyper 212+ on a Gigabyte P55-UD4p with Shin-Etsu thermal paste and an i5 750. With the stock fan, voltage was increased to 1.375 and the blclk was raised to 190, yielding 3.8Ghz per core. The 212+ maintains 61 C at full load under these settings. This is an excellent value heatsink that is capable of keeping a high end chip cool under overclocking conditions. The Hyper 212+ also made the top 10 heatsinks at [...].

Kudos to Coolermaster for having this cooler available at the i5 launch. Amazon "free shipping" was painfully slow though. Bad Amazon.

Setup was a pain and requires removal of the motherboard.

This thing is huge so make sure your case will accommodate it. Other than that it has fantastic acoustic performance and very nice cooling prowess!

This is a great CPU cooler for the price. I can push my i5-750 to 4 GHz while keeping temperatures around 60C. I've chosen to throttle it back to 3.6 GHz for 24/7 usage so I can run at a more modest 1.3V and keep the fan at 80% where it's nearly inaudible. The sites that test lots of CPU coolers have shown this to have good cooling and noise performance.

My Gigabyte motherboard doesn't offer much control over the fan speed so I'm using the free SpeedFan program to control the speed for different temperature levels. At idle the processor is 38C and the fan is set to a silent 70%. At full load the processor is 53C and the fan is barely audible at 80%. I like my computer to be quiet.

The mounting bracket is a bit fussy but I had it mounted in 10 minutes or so. It has a backplate which is a good thing because it allows a tighter clamp and puts less stress on the motherboard. I'm cheap and I used the thermal paste that came with it.

Excelente cooler se lo recomiendo a todos, bajo por lo menos unos 8 degrees en temperatura ,,,muy muy bueno ..no hace ruido.
