Rated TDP (claimed)iThe heat load the maker says the cooler handles. Makers do not share one test method, so this is not a measured result. A maker's maximum heat dissipation power counts. Check the maker's CPU compatibility page too.

The table has no footnote for these rows. Some retailers print 155 W or 180 W, and PCGamesN advises 150 W CPUs or less. The maker figure is stored.

Base materialiThe surface that touches the CPU: the heatsink base or the AIO cold plate. Plating counts, so nickel-plated copper is not copper. Direct-touch heat pipes are the contact surface, so they count as copper unless plating is stated. The direct-contact heat pipes field records the design.

Copper8Reviewaphnetworks.com/reviews/cooler-master-hyper-212-black/2Read 14 October 2026Direct contact heatpipe design. The heatpipes are not electroplated with nickel, and the copper heatpipes sit behind the plate on top. The base is stored as copper. LDLC lists the material as aluminum, which describes the fins.

Compatibility

0 of 3 differ

CPU socketsiSockets the maker lists as supported in its spec table, compatibility list or guide, written as cpu_socket writes them, e.g. AM5 or LGA1851. List each socket on its own, so LGA115x becomes LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156. When the maker names the sockets of such a family, list only the ones it names. A socket that needs a separately sold or requested mounting kit is left out. A new socket that the maker lists with no extra kit counts. LGA2011-v3 and 2011(V3) are written LGA2011-3. Threadripper sockets use AMD's names, so TR4 is written sTR4 and TR5 is written sTR5. sTRX4 and sWRX8 are sockets of their own.

RAM height clearanceiAir coolers only. The tallest memory module that fits under the cooler with all included fans in their standard position. When the maker gives different values per socket, store the lowest and name the others in the source note. A heatsink that does not reach over the memory slots has no height limit, so the field is left out and the maker's statement goes in the source note.

Fans

Included fansiFans in the box that cool the heatsink or radiator, one row per fan model. A VRM fan on the pump block is left out. Speed, airflow, pressure and noise are the maker's figures for one fan at full speed, in the fastest mode and without a low-noise adapter. When a range is published, the top of the range is stored. Count is the number of rotors, so a unified frame with three 120 mm rotors counts 3 with size 120. Min speed is the lowest speed while spinning. A zero RPM stop is not stored. FDB and S-FDB are fluid dynamic. HDB is hydrodynamic. Cooler Master's Loop Dynamic Bearing is loop dynamic. If the maker gives airflow only in m³/h, convert with 1 m³/h = 0.5886 CFM, round to one decimal and say so in the source note. Connector is the fan's power lead. A separate lighting lead is not counted, and a maker cable or adapter in the box that ends in a 4-pin PWM plug counts as 4-pin PWM, even when the fan's own lead is proprietary. For an air cooler with one fan, the maker's noise figure for the cooler is the fan noise. A figure the maker does not label per fan or in total counts as per fan. When a maker table prints noise for the whole cooler with no per-fan label and the maker's own data sheet for the same fan gives a figure, the fan data sheet figure is stored.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X on an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus in a Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh, room temperature about 18 C, the stock paste, stock fan in a push configuration on the motherboard 4-pin fan header, three extra case fans as intake. Prime95 in-place large FFTs with sixteen worker threads for at least 30 minutes, noted when stable (about 45 minutes). Temperature is the maximum core value in Core Temp. The result was 74 C. Noise is a 0 to 10 rating (1.0 idle, 3.0 under load), so no dB(A) is stored.13Reviewalktech.co/articles/review-cooler-master-hyper-212-halo-black-cpu-air-coolerRead 15 October 2026ALKtech review of 2023-03-28, Black edition.

The case, ambient, paste and fan setting are not stated. The Ryzen 9 7900X topped 95 C within seconds and then lost clock speed, so no temperature is stored for it.

Dimensions and weight

DimensionsiAir coolers only. The cooler with its included fans in the standard position, without the mounting kit. Height runs from the bottom of the base to the top. Depth runs along the airflow, fans included. Width runs across the fins. Map by direction, not by letter. Width runs across the fins, depth runs along the airflow. DeepCool's 129 x 138 x 160 mm (L x W x H) is width 129, depth 138, height 160.
