Lastly, I really like to see staggered heatpipes. The only thing to note if you find yourself getting this cooler, is when you put on the backplate and the mounting screws, it may seem loose but all that goes away when you secure the cooler to the brackets. I also found the mounting hardware easy to use. These fans are quite and move a decent amount of air at 1800RPM. The only improvement I could see, was adding a 5th heatpipe!! I also really like the SickleFlow fans. I would have only been concerned if half of the outside pipes weren’t touching the CPU. Because each piece of cooper is directly contacting the CPU. I have seen a couple complaints about the copper being separated on the heat sink. The length was plenty to keep the CPU cool. So, how did the Hyper 212 EVO V2 do? The things I liked: I liked the amount of heatpipe. So the better you can cool the copper the better results you will get. Most of the heat displacement and cooling takes place on the copper heatpipes. Honestly, heat is very rarely going to make it to the edge of fins. Having an open fin design will help with keeping other components cool though. You may think I am crazy but I have taped the sides of my cooler before so every bit of air was pushed passed the heat pipes. The more of either, will increase the capabilities of the cooler.

How much of it is there, Does it directly contact the CPU? These two thing can greatly effect the cooling capabilities. Cooper, the most thermal conductive material on an Air cooler. I know that sounds bad but when you have seen and used so many different ones, you kind of get any idea of what will work or won’t. Just from looking them I can tell if an Air cooler is going to be good or not.
