Setting up the Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Setting up the Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Great photos. I recently put my 212+ in place over a week ago, and although it was a bit tricky, I discovered a helpful guide on another forum via a Google search. The manual that came with the cooler was just enough, and having this reference made the process much smoother. It’s worth noting the cooler can be mounted both vertically and horizontally, though it isn’t immediately clear from the clamp alone.
Saint19 was surprised to learn the city, noting they reside in Bogota. Overshocked asked about their country, prompting Saint19 to confirm they are from Colombia. 😊
^D60 is decent, though a bit expensive for its capabilities. The xti performs well in capturing great photos without needing much insight into the process.
Good work on the guide! The images might be too large for a 1280*1024 monitor though.
Since you opted for the CM Hyper 212+ and just installed it, here are some questions.
What thermal paste should be used? I didn’t apply the CM paste but used AS5 and only applied a very thin layer over the CPU, covering its entire surface.
How should the screws on the retention plate be tightened? (Not the back plate) I didn’t apply too much pressure, just enough to ensure it was securely fastened.
Regarding fan orientation? I installed my fan on the same side as you demonstrated, but instead of pulling air away from the heatsink, I pushed air onto it. This is what I believe is the better approach.
