[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what to preface by saying I'm writing this only a couple of days after installing. This is a very good CPU cooler for the price I paid. I installed this on a 6-year-old intel i5 4690k that still had the stock cooler so I may overclock it safely. I originally wanted a different one that was cheaper but that one was too big for my medium-sized tower. This thing is 6 1/2 inches which fits perfectly in my case. It is a little difficult to attach and the instructions are not very helpful so I would suggest looking up a video, I found a really good one on youtube that was helpful. You really have to give it a lot of force in order to get all four screws in so be prepared for that. After installing, I was able to see a 10-30 degree Celsius drop in CPU temperature when benchmarking with Prime95 compared to before I installed it. Great product. If you are looking to cool your CPU on a budget this is the fan for you! In the pictures, you will see it sitting in my pc after installing as well as a second one comparing it to the original stock cooler that most intel CPUs already come with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooler is top notch, i had a stock cooler on my intel haswell i5 processor and the temps were reaching around 80c when playing GTAV. With this it stays around 40-45. Thats good. Now the instructions were awful. I didnt even use them because its JUST PICTURES, no words. I looked up an awesome Youtube video that showed step-by-step on how to do it and it was great. Just look up Evo Cooler Master and your case and theres probably a video on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fan works amazing in my system. I just wish I measured first, as I had to make a few holes in my case door in order to use it and would have planned better. (The little copper tube tips protruded farther than my case door.) I believe total height is 6.3 inches. It was worth making the holes in case! Instructions are fairly easy with images to show how to mount to various CPUs. Contains all adapter parts. You have to remove board to swap out adapter plate, if you are retrofitting an existing system Make sure you want to cut your PC up a bit, or get the next smaller Cooler Master fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this cooler to replace the AMD stock cooler for FX 8350. This keeps it much cooler with temperatures as low as 19c and high of 68c. This was pretty hard to install for me although it was my first time installing an aftermarket cooler. This could also be due to poor installation guide. You will need to have low profile ram without large heat spreaders or else you wont be able to install the cooler. I used 16 GB Corsair XMS3 (2x8GB) without issues. Only problem is if I want to add more ram I would have to uninstall the cooler to do so. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. This cooler prevents my system from automatically shutting down (due to heat) unlike the stock fan that came with my processor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent air cooler. Would make a killer upgrade for people that have the stock AMD CPU coolers. Temps instantly dropped 10c. However, if you have a smaller case the heat pipe tips stick out just enough where it isn't possible for the side panel to close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fan bearing started to fail 5 months into the 2 year warranty. They won't replace my fan. They offered for me to ship the product back to them myself. Oh really thanks. Let me ship the $6 dollar fan back to you, while I wait with no computer to use. Thanks Coolermaster, now I know never to buy from you again! Next time just send the $6 dollar fan to you customers. Buy a better brand with better customer service. Corsair would send a fan no questions asked and probably would so many other companies. It's standard policy in 2015.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my home computer that had been running a little hot with the factory i7 cpu cooler. Installing required taking out motherboard but that wasn't an issue (if you know how). The instructions were not very good but You tube has plenty of how-to videos for it. After install the results were pretty impressive, averaging 20+ degrees cooler even while running several games. Certainly fixed the heat issue! Highly recommend this cooler for non-overclocked computers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this CPU cooler, it was relatively easy to install once I got the screw pushed in(one screw came with bad threading). I use an AMD-A10 5800K and with the stock cooler my temps ranged from 39-64C (idle-max) and with this cooler it is very nice and cool at 32-47 with very silent operation. The only thing you need to check before buying this, is if it will fit into your case. I have the m59 and it just barely fits, but its good enough :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recommend you make sure it will fit inside your case before buying, I checked out Antec's website, Cooler Master's website, and a few forum build websites making sure others have built using the same parts to be safe first. I could only use 1 of the 2 120mm side fans on my case because of the slightly raised fan on the Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO, I do not feel like moving it right now, and it works great the way it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this and realized that I had to completely take apart my PC unplug everything off my motherboard remove the screws and take it out it from the case, because I had to install a panel, that came with the PC fan, in the back of the motherboard, took about 4 hours to install, and another hour to check to make sure everything was plug in and running in the device manager.
