The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, despite being lighter, thinner, and having smaller heatpipes, is a better overall heatsink than the Fenrir. The mounting system is clever, requiring only one set of hardware for all sockets, and installs on AMD boards in the 'proper' orientation with the fan blowing east-west. We believe the superior mount also gives it an...

The Noctua NH-D14 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ both earn the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" award. The NH-D14 earns it for it being the top performer in terms of cooling ability, while the Hyper 212+ earns it for doing quite well for a fraction of the price.
