Cooling performance 

performance can be improved

Hyper 212 is the main cooling performance and the hyper 212 Evo has fans that are made of sleeve-bearing and can reach up to 2000 revolutions per minute, a maximum of 82.9 cubic feet of air per minute. hyper 212 Led has slower relief fans which are around 400 RPM, maxing out 1600 revs per minute that create around 66.3 cubic feet of airflow per minute.

The hyper 212 Evo has a feature of continuous direct contact technology that means no gap in their heat pipes makes contact with the CPU. The Hyper 212 Evo only cools 5% more than the Hyper 212 LED.

Noise level

CPU coolers test the difference in their sound levels both at the maximum and minimum RPM. Hyper 212 Evo has a Maximum load of produces around 32 decibels while on idle to reach up to 53.7 Dba. The hyper 212 led is quieter as compared to the other pricey CPU coolers at 29 dBA while on idle at 47.7 dBA at a maximum RPM. Due to a 1-degree warmer, the hyper 212 led is quiet by around 6 decibels. 

The difference between the Hyper 212 LED and the Hyper 212Evo is the hyper 212 is easily mount and lasts longer than the Hyper 212 Evo.

Verdict 

The Hyper 212 LED is better than the Hyper 212 Evo. The  212 Led is the best due to easier, quieter operation, and for long time use. It is recommended due to their great budget. Hyper 212 Led is a considerably cooler CPU temperature. Its overall performance is better. The cooler master hyper 212 Evo is slightly better in cooling your CPU if you can get it at a discount, it’s well worth considering.
