Our friends at Vortez spent a little quality time with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition and, once everything was said and done, said this is the best cooler in this price range.
The heatsink makes use of four direct contact heatpipes to remove heat from the CPU, which is then passed into the nickel plated fin array. The same was true of the non-RGB version which we reviewed so any difference we find will be down to the change in 120mm fan more than anything else.
