![]() ![]() Copper is soft and easy to damage, thus this design has greatly inferior mechanical strength than most other tower designs that have the heatpipes supported inside a metal base, but this has virtually no shortcomings for most users that will not be mistreating their computers (as well as being indicative of the pricing). The heatpipes come in direct contact with the CPU’s surface, increasing the energy absorption efficiency. What makes the EVO 212 so efficient and popular is the direct contact design. Then the energy is being transferred to the airflow generated by the fan more effectively, as the surface of the many parallel aluminum fins greatly outweighs that of most stock coolers. It is designed to absorb the thermal energy away from the CPU and transfer it to wide aluminum fins using the heatpipes. The EVO 212 is a tower cooler with four copper heatpipes and a vertical 120 mm fan. ![]() Although we do have one more aftermarket cooler in this review, it comes from a CPU manufacturer and is essentially based on the designs of their stock coolers, so the EVO 212 is the only cooler that greatly stands out from the rest. We included it because it is one of the most popular mainstream coolers, combining good performance with broad compatibility and a very reasonable retail price. The Cooler Master EVO 212 is the “special guest” of this review.
