This review benchmarks Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Plus, one of the best-known CPU coolers on the market, and then compares it vs. There are elements to prioritize, though, and we can uncover what differences make the largest impact by benchmarking a wider array of units. There's a lot of engineering that goes into a quality CPU cooler and, as with any quality engineering, you won't find the best possible designs for entry-level coolers. Aftermarket CPU coolers, much like RAM, are a commodity in the mainstream market they're not necessary to operate at stock frequencies, but are nice to have for decreased noise pollution and decreased room temperatures (I'm only sort of joking - my system easily increases room temps by a degree or two).įor lightweight overclocking, of course, the story is different - these coolers are necessary to protect the chip and increase core stability when under load.
Adding an aftermarket CPU cooler to your gaming system will undoubtedly tighten thermal differentials to a more predictable range, and while semiconductors do "like" heat to a limited degree, CPUs have trouble operating under intense, fluctuating thermal load.
