Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex CPU Cooler Review @ APH Networks
APH Networks took an in-depth look at Cooler Master’s Hyper 612 Apex air cooler, finding plenty to like in both design and presentation. The single-tower heatsink relies on six copper heat pipes and a pair of 120 mm Mobius PWM fans tucked under a magnetic top cover. At 127 × 114 × 159 mm it clears most RAM slots, and the bundle includes a tidy cardboard tool kit, CyroFuze thermal paste, and brackets for all current Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets. A five-year warranty rounds out the premium feel of what APH Networks describes as a surprisingly refined unboxing experience.
The Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex air cooler offers high performance with sleek aesthetics at a very good price.
During hands-on testing the Hyper 612 Apex kept a Ryzen 5 5600X idling at 25 °C and topped out at 48 °C after 20 minutes of Prime95, matching the larger dual-tower be quiet Pure Rock Pro 3 while staying impressively quiet. APH Networks rated noise just 1 on a 0-10 scale at idle and about 3.5 at maximum fan speed, noting the sound remained a gentle whisper even up close. With cooling that rivals bigger, pricier heat sinks and acoustics that stay civil under load, the Hyper 612 Apex came away recommended as an effective, well-built option for mid-range and enthusiast systems alike.
