It’s meant to basically replace your stock cooler, give you lower temperatures and less noise, and do so at an attractive prices. Before we jump in I really want it to mention again that this cooler is not meant to compete with high-end solutions. That pretty much wraps up the installation process, so it’s time to move on to performance. But I’m going to try and recreate that with a separate SickleFlow fan than I have from another Cooler Master cooler and install that onto the 212 Evo, because we couldn’t actually find a V2 version in time for this review.
There is also an updated SickleFlow series fan for better acoustics and airflow at lower RPMs. First, the V2 version comes with a new stepped back heatpipe design for a little bit better memory compatibility, along with a revised mounting kit, and that is super important like we are going to see pretty soon because the original 212 Evo has an ancient mounting kit that is just a bunch of parts and is a pain in the butt to install.
That V2 version isn’t meant as a replacement for the original 212 Evo, rather it’s being sold right along in parallel with it, and it has a bunch of improvements that you need to know about to make a more informed buying decision. There is now a V2 version of this that isn’t quite as widely available, but it’s out there and it cost just a little bit more. I also want to address the elephant in the room and that is how Cooler Master has modified this cooler over time.
