Do this allows the heat pipes to directly get the heat from the CPU itself, thus removing the heat right away. The heat pipes have been machined down flat and smooth. The mounting bracket and heat pipe holder is made of aluminum while the heat pipes are copper and are exposed in the bracket. If you are looking to install the 212 EVO 2 into a smaller case we suggest that you always measure and check your setup before purchasing any air cooler. Has anyone else here had this issue with Hyper 212 EVO bolts? From a quick Google, it looks like I'm not the only one.Topping out at 155mm in height the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 2 will easily fit in a standard ATX case. So the bolt wouldn't catch on the nut without significant force applied behind it. Note 1: The thread on one of the bolts was not formed correctly - it was exactly perpendicular to the length of the bolt, instead of a few degrees off, as with the proper bolts. My understanding is that dual channel operation of RAM offers something like up to +15% performance over single channel? I don't have a soldering iron, so I've ordered this silver paint and was wondering if anyone has attempted this kind of repair before? If so, any advice would be much appreciated. So I put one 4 GB stick in each DIMM, which means single channel, but at least working RAM.įor the moment I'm happy I don't have to buy another £85 motherboard, but I'm still interested in trying to repair the broken trace(s) on the PCB. I discovered the two slots nearest the CPU were not functioning, but luckily the two slots furthest away were working. Following the damaged trace, it looked like it was for the RAM, so I tried removing sticks to isolate the fault. There was a brief splutter, then nothing. Due to one of the standoff bolts not being threaded correctly 1 and me being too heavy-handed, I slipped and managed to scratch one of the PCB traces on the motherboard (MSI Z97 G55 SLI).Īfter kicking myself, I finished fitting the cooler and booted up, expecting the worst. I had a nightmare fitting my new Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Pick, Assemble and Install: Video Guide.No intentionally harmful, misleading or joke advice.
