So, here is How to Install Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler. I think they figured it out but didn't bother to tell anyone else about it.Below are the step by step instructions you have to follow it or you can also watch a video tutorial embed in the bottom or the post. While googling this I noticed a different kind of clamp that uses the plastic stock heatsink retention clips. But don't tell us your shitty adapters will work when they don't. I mean if I had to buy a new one just for AM4, I probably would have. Problem solved because I am a ghetto rigger. Maybe 1 layer would have been enough, but I like it tight. I did use some old motherboard standoff o-rings on the screw-nuts so not to scrape the board up.īingo, this did the trick. Then I screwed the thing in as hard as I could. I cut out two layers of that with an exacto, and cut a hole where the backplate had one (under board ventilation?). Mine was pink, but who cares, it's going on the bottom. But I have plenty of the thin foam sheets they ship under the motherboards in the box. This could have been accomplished with some plastic washers, can't use metal on the back of the motherboard. So what I did was close the gap on the backplate under the motherboard. I remount it again thinking I maybe missed something, nope. Not now, wiggle room plenty and I can push it forward and it breaks contact with the cpu. Hell I have used the heatsink as a HANDLE to remove and carry motherboards, that shit is so locked down. there should be zero on a locked down Hyper 212 install. I tightened that shit as far as I could and I was not pleased.
A huge amount of play in the lock nuts that screw into the stock backplate. So the new scissor bracket uses the stock AM4 backplate. I noticed the hole pattern in the Hyper 212 backplate won't fit the Asrock AM4 board, not even close. better part of a year goes by but now I'm ready for it. I did and they sent me a new scissor X bracket and some misc parts.
Cooler Master offered a free AM4 adapter, just pay (I think it was $5?) shipping. Best bang for the buck cooler you can get. I've had Hyper 212's in my last 4-5 systems. Sorry to necro a thread, but I just went through this today and what a PITA.
