Also the X-shaped bracket that goes in the middle of the heatsink to then lock down on the motherboard mount has a notch on it. The fact that you can freely move the Hyper212 heatsink after it's tightly in-place means you used the wrong stand-offs, trust me, done it by accident once on an AMD board. As using the Intel ones on an AMD board the Cooler will not sit tightly in-place on your CPU, as the Intel based stand-offs are physically longer. Originally posted by Bad-Motha:You can't over-tighten the cooler screws on a Cooler like Hyper 212 Plus/EVO/XĮVO and X comes with 2 sets of stand-offs, a set for Intel and a set for AMD please ensure you use the correct ones. When installed correctly, when the motherboard is sitting straight up inside a typical tower case, the heatsink should not be able to slide down the notch that goes with the X-bracket prevents this when installed correctly. Ensure the Heatsink and X-bracket are positioned correctly.

But you can over-tighten the Motherboard Bracket Mount so be careful.ĮVO and X comes with 2 sets of stand-offs, a set for Intel and a set for AMD please ensure you use the correct ones. Manufacturer/Supplier: Cooler Master Co.You can't over-tighten the cooler screws on a Cooler like Hyper 212 Plus/EVO/X.The aluminum fin structure has been optimized to provide the perfect performance balance between high and low speed fan operations. This acts as a virtual vapor chamber that dissipates a large amount of heat.

The Hyper 212 EVO now features four Cooler Master patented Continuous Direct Contact (CDC) heat pipes that are tightly packed into a flat array on the CPU Cooler base.

The Hyper 212 EVO cooling systems are designed and optimized to provide the best user experience and cooling potential for a new generation of processors. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooling Fan/Heatsink - 1 x 4.72' - 2000 rpm Sleeve Bearing
