I have 2 more of these CPU's, only one running now, on an H100. The H100 keeps it at 41c @100% load. So I thought that a decent air cooler should keep it under 60c. That temp is per coretemp.

Should be perfectly fine for that 120w TDP CPU. Seems a little on the noisy side if that kind of thing bothers you.

Pros

• Passive cooling up to 95W TDP
• Active cooling up to 180W TDP
• Dual fan mounting options included
• Fully sleeved fan cable
• RAM cut-away
• Affordable price

Cons

• Not ideal for high-end overclockin

Push-pull might be worth a look with a cooler that thick. It will flow more and be quieter. Homemade side baffles might actually improve thermals as well, but it'd have to be tested.

Yeah -- I might agree with that. Effectiveness will be a function of the processor TDP or overclock TDP as well as die-size/lithography and the size of the processor cap, but there shouldn't be any issues with that Hyper 612.

Let me observe that the Hyper 612 seems to be CoolerMaster's answer to the ThermalRight Le Grand Macho, which was my own choice. The respective designs of the two coolers are very similar. I could even confuse the 612 with the LGM if I squint while looking at it.
