(Image credit: Cooler Master) The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro aRGB CPU cooler is once again down to its lowest price of $17.99 (29% off) on Newegg , as opposed to its listed price of $25.49. With this price cut, it is currently one of the cheapest tower-style coolers out there, and a compelling choice for PC builders with an entry or mid-range CPU.
The original Hyper 212 launched almost two decades ago and, since then, has gone through multiple revisions, adapting to various generations of CPUs. The Hyper 212 Pro, launched last year alongside the Hyper 212 Black Edition, features a similar-looking black single-tower heatsink but with an upgraded 120mm Sickleflow Edge ARGB fan that produces up to 70.7 CFM of air flow at 32.8 dBA. It also comes with four superconducting composite heat pipes that utilize various evaporator and condenser wick structures to dissipate heat from the CPU.
The cooler supports modern CPU sockets, including AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1851/1700. In terms of case clearance, it measures 152mm in height, which should allow it to fit inside a majority of PC cabinets. Thanks to the asymmetrical heat pipe layout and design, the cooler offers better RAM clearance compared to previous generations.
Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Pro aRGB CPU air cooler is 29% off making it one of the most affordable CPU coolers available. The cooler boasts a single aRGB illuminated 120mm fan and can cool most chips on the market with its quad heatpipe architecture.
According to Cooler Master, the Hyper 212 Pro is capable of cooling CPUs with up to 230W TDP, although we recommend going for something more capable, especially if you have an AMD Ryzen 9 or Intel Core Ultra 9/Core i9 CPU. We highly recommend going through our list of the best CPU coolers if you are looking for something more robust, like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE .
Granted that the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro may not be the best-performing air cooler, but at its discounted price of $18, it is a no-brainer for anyone planning to cool an entry-level chip without relying on stock coolers. Make sure you hurry, as the deal is for a limited period only.
