Short Review: Coolermaster HAF 212 Plus vs OCZ Vendetta 2

[EnJoY]

Quote from the intro...

Looking for a new heat sink in the current market is quite a job. There are a plethora of them available in all shapes and sizes and in every single price bracket that you can think of. Getting a cooler with the right price to performance ratio is even more difficult, specially when you add your requirements to that ratio. So we have people who just require a quiet cooler, to those who don’t mind their computers sounding like a jet at take off as long as the cooler can get them better overclocks. With this background in mind, we are going to have a look at Cooler Masters new offering the Hyper 212+.

Cooler Master has been working hard lately, and has been updating their line up like never before. They have added a couple of new cases and also added a new thermal compound. But the CPU cooler product line has received a number of new products, including our test sample today. The 212 Hyper Plus is based on the older Hyper 212 cooler and and it will be Cooler Master’s first of many LGA1156 and LGA1156/1366 compatible coolers to come. The cooler now sports direct contact heat-pipes, dual fan cooling options and a new PWM fan.

All in all this cooler will be positioned at the low to mid range segment, offering decent and quiet cooling at a low price. The new plus model comes with support for the latest processor series including Core i7, the upcoming Core i5 and of course Phenom II socket AM2/AM3 processors. Definitely an interesting package, and one I was quite eager to check out.
