Hey guys welcome
back to ComputerWorld, today we're going to be doing a review for the Cooler
Master Hyper T2. So the Cooler Master Hyper T2 is pretty much cooler masters
entry level budget tower style cooler. There are other at budget coolers from
cooler master but they're not our style generally. So today we're going to just
do an overview see basically how it stacks up so far. The other coolers we've compared and see if
you know if this is maybe a good buy for you if you're on a budget and if you
want to put less than $20 on a cooler. Because by the way the MSRP on this
cooler in the u.s. is around 25 bucks and in Canada around $30. However this is
one of those coolers that is always on sale like if you're buying at MSRP it's
probably just because you didn't shop around because you can always buy it in
Canada pretty much around 20 bucks and in the US you know between 15 and 20. So
if you're shopping for it is cooler do you wait till you find it on sale.
So let's start with an overview on the Cooler
Master Hyper T2 cooler see what it's offering. So this cooler has a dual heat
pipe design that you actually have four contact points on the bottom of the
cold plate and the fan that comes with it is a 92 millimeter fan and it can
spin up all the way to 2800 rpm. Theoretically the size on the Cooler Master
Hyper T2 cooler is 140 millimeters high by 90 millimeters wide and 76
millimeters deep what that means is that clearance issues should not be there
for most motherboards unless you're going with Mini ITX are micro-atx but that
depends on the spacing and which sock if you're dealing with. But I'd say that
most of them are not going to be presenting a problem with that other than that
you know it's a four pin design on the fan this time. So it will be compatible
with the PWM and that pretty much gives you a good overview of the cooler.
Now before
we go at the performance I just want to make a couple of notes about the cooler
itself. The design and the construction is pretty good that you know from
Coolermaster the one thing that I was sort of disappointed a little bit about
is actually the cold plate. When I look at the coal at coolers where I look at
cold plates what I like to see is almost no spacing in between where the copper
and aluminum meet and where the different copper pipes meet unfortunate is
cooler. I don't know if you saw in the close-up there's actually quite a bit of
spacing in between the copper elements underneath. What that means is you
always wind up with a little bit of thermal paste that stays stuck in between
the copper pipes and it means also that on average when I'm installing this
cooler I put a little more pace than usual on it. Because you have to sort of
fill in those spaces and you're generally losing heat dissipation with that. But
overall the construction is what you expect from Cooler master. So it's a you
know it's a good cooler should last you a while so let's look at the
performance numbers because overall so far in the coolers we've looked at it is
the best performing cooler it easily beats the stock even Ryzen coolers with a
delta temperature in my case around 29 degrees Celsius. So it keeps my Ryzen 3
under like around 50 degrees even overclocked at 3.9 1.3 volts which is what
all these tests are done at. So it's actually a pretty good performer for the
money you're investing into the cooler especially like I said earlier if you're
getting it on sale however if we go to the noise chart. Noise chart this so far
is really the noise is cooler. But at the same time it's the fan it spins the
fastest and when I do tests I basically set the fan at 100%. So that we can put
all the coolers on a study on an even level because I don't want the
motherboard spinning down the fan and tricking it and overall if we let the PWM
take over all the coolers are pretty much going to stay in to some temperatures
because it'll just lower the RPMs on your fan. When your CPU is cool enough and
then up and when it goes up so you're not really knowing overall. If you push
it to the max which coolers performing the best so which is the noises fan and
by quite a bit like we're talking about like leaf blower territory. When it's
full-on I couldn't really stay in the room for a very long time we're just
running 100% like it would actually annoy me after a while however you know on
the upside it is something it does have a four pin connector. What that does
mean is that unless you're pushing the cooler to its max 24/7 if you set the
setting on the motherboard to you know normal control or if you set up you know
a manual fan curve you will be able to lower the noise. Because the family is
spinning all out 100% of the time however if you're overclocking really to the
limit on like an i7 you know 7700, 6700 which generates a lot of heat problem
is as your fan might be spinning pretty high pretty often. So it is good to
keep a note that noise wise it's maybe not the best option for those type of
CPUs. If you're overclocking really pushing it to the max and actually this is
pretty much my recommendation this is where this tower style cooler fits in I
would keep I would say that if someone's looking to push really to Ryzen 3,
Ryzen 5 to the max even Ryzen 7 I would say you could start entering into
territories where it'll be decent.
Final Overview
This
is actually a pretty good cooler for you however if you're really looking at
the top-end cooler. So the i7s and even I said Ryzen 7 but if you're looking at
a Ryzen 1800X or something and you're put trying to hit like for 4.1 gigahertz
I wouldn't say the cooler is going to do it. It's just that the noise that's
going to come with is going to be really unpleasant and for maybe a couple of
bucks extra. If you're already paying like in those prices for the CPU I don't think
you're aiming for this level of budget cooler. But at the same time it'll get
you there like the cooling performance is there it just comes with a lot of
noise. So I would say this is a perfect project like I said Ryzen 3
overclocking the i5 because basically it'll be able to dissipate the heat and
the fan will probably be spinning around 50% most of the time. So it is a good
cooler for those types of you know people looking at that and if you're looking
for higher ends we're going to get to those coolers. But you know for like
maybe 5 or 10 bucks extra if coolers that will keep your CPUs at the same
temperatures but this fan won't be necessarily spinning at 100% all the time. So
overall I hope this guy just gives you a good idea of the Cooler Master Hyper T2.
So once again decent budget cooler it's worth your money and you know all you
have to decide is how much money did you plan on actually putting on the cooler
and we'll be looking at a couple of other options. Because around this price point
however I would say the budget competition is actually pretty good you have
like three or four good options.
