Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo Black CPU Air Cooler Review - A New Hyper 212 for 2023!

Cooler Master's Hyper 212 line-up has been around for a long time - first launched back in 2007 as an air cooler targeted at AMD's Athlon 64 CPUs on platforms such as Socket 939 and AM2, as well as Intel's Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad offerings built on the LGA 775 socket, the DIY PC industry has since witnessed countless iterations of the Hyper 212, as Cooler Master refreshed the line-up for successive generations of CPUs that have come and gone over the past decade and counting.

For today's video, we'll be taking a look at a new Hyper 212 variant for 2023 - the Hyper 212 Halo Black. Sporting support for the latest AMD processors on the AM5 socket (e.g. the "Zen 5" Ryzen 9000 series, "Zen 4" Ryzen 8000 series APUs and the Ryzen 7000 series), as well as Intel's 13th Generation Raptor Lake and 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs (LGA1700), the Hyper 212 Halo Black touts Cooler Master's new MasterFan MF120 aRGB fan, a four-heatpipe design as well as a sleek-looking aesthetic. Watch on to see if this CPU cooler is any good!
