Is the cooler master Hyper 212 compatible with my Gigabyte - GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard?

RainOfPain125 · Jul 30, 2017

At pcpartpicker.com it gives a small warning that it might not be compatible. Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this extremely specific question for specific parts :/

"The Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Gigabyte - GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard."

No, not compatible, if you contact them they will supply new mounts for free.

Also, the Cooler Master 212 EVO isn't a very good CPU cooler to buy anyways. I suggest the CRYORIG M9a for~$20 USD. It Performs similarly if not better than the 212 EVO, smaller, easier to install, quieter, and cheaper.

YES!
the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO includes an universal AMD-Intel Mount

No it does not though one is available from CM.

The new 212LED does though. Currently its on sale at the same sale price as the evo on newegg

The 212 EVO was a good budget CPU cooler.
5 years ago.

Today, there are better options. Something from Noctua or Cryorig.

Cryorig H7 or BeQuiet Pure Rock.

I also second a Cryorig H7. The H5 universal is nice too. Many coolers still have to have a bracket acquired separately from the manufacturer. These are typically free though.

WTF, I have OCed 6600k at 4.2 Ghz and it's running at about 30-38 degrees

There are better coolers out there, for the money than the 212 evo. Also the 212 evo tends to get loud. The H7 is shorter, quieter, and performs better at a similar price point. It fits in a far bigger selection of cases due to its height as well. Not saying the 212 is bad, it's just an old design that has been outperformed by newer options.

Just five days ago I bought a MSI Core Frozr L cooler for my computer. It ended up replacing the aging CM 212 evo cause the plastic clips was getting brittle and started to crack.

What I liked most about the MSI Core Frozr L is it supports few socket types even the AM4 out of the box.
