Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler Review
Luke Hill / 13 years ago
We will repeat the load tests with our CPU at stock speed and overclocked, but this time we will use high powered 1850RPM Scythe AP-15 fans in push-pull configuration when possible. This test will show the heatsink’s true potential with fans that perform excellently on heatsinks and radiators. It will also outline whether or not the bundled fans are offering acceptable performance.
Switching from the single 1300 RPM Cooler Master fan to a pair of Scythe 1850 RPM Gentle Typhoon (AP-15) fans unlocked a worthwhile performance boost from the Hyper 612S as a heatsink. A 9.3% performance increase at stock CPU speeds which rises to a 10% performance boost under overclocked conditions shows that as a heatsink, the Hyper 612S has more to offer than its out-of-the-box performance may suggest.
