cooler master hyper 212 plus installation

I'll be removing the motherboard with the CPU and heatsink attached to it from my PC case first before trying to get the cooler off it, which I guess will help in terms of having room to maneuver. I'm probably going to run the PC for 30 minutes then because I'm paranoid use dental floss on top of that to make absolutely certain I don't damage the pins on the old CPU and/or the motherboard like this guy said on quora (basically get the floss in at a corner and pull it through in an attempt to remove it without twisting) and I guess according to one user online wear a freaking oven mitt in case you burn your hand grabbing that heat sink. this website seems to recommend the same model number based on the amazon link they give as an okay 'budget cooler'Īnd in this youtube video assuming this guy is using the same model number cooler as what I am using (that setup he's using looks identical to what I have in terms of the X shaped mounting bracket, backplate and screws) then looks like I'm all setĪlthough some people online say run your PC for 30 minutes. I'm trying to decide if it's worth saving some money and just re-using this on say a Ryzen 5 5600x processor (to give an example ). here's the newegg link to the webpage product listing from back when I bought itĪnd I should point out that I don't think this is the 'version 2' newer model I think it's the older one. My PC currently has the somewhat old (purchased year 2018) ' Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 ' model number RR-212E-20PK-R2.
