There has been a lot of great products coming out of Cooler Master's stable lately. These include Cosmos and Stacker enclosures as well as cooling accessories and high-end power supplies. Not so long ago, I've compared Cooler Master HyperTX against Thermaltake TMG A1 HSF. The results were fantastic for HyperTX considering the designs haven't varied at all.

Today I bring you the latest CPU cooler from Cooler Master: Hyper 212. The most appreciated feature about this HSF is its universal design. That's right. AMD and Intel fans can go out and buy the same model and for those that will soon switch platforms there is no need to get rid of Hyper 212 -- it's compatible with the following CPUs: All current Intel Core 2 Duo / Extreme / Quad (LGA775) and AMD Athlon 64, FX, X2 (S754/939/940, AM2). Now to the good part.
