Reviews for Cooler Master Hyper TX 2

CoolerMaster Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Solid construction, excellent cooling property, low noise level.

Weakness: Heavy weight, bulky dimension, awkward locking mechanism for AMD Socket 754/939/AM2 and Intel Socket LGA775.

I have always used the factory-stock heat sink and fan (HSF) cooler, so this is my first "custom" cooler. The first impression is its size. Having used to stock HSF dimensions, it is quite a bit bigger than I had expected, good thing I have a full size ATX case. Its base is pretty small, but then like an inverse pyramid, the top gets bigger. Also it is very tall, I don't think this will fit in a micro ATX case, or any non-tower case that lays on the side.
----------------------

This Hyper TX2 Cooler came in a nice plastic package. It is a solid product, weighs in just over a pound. It has 4 primary components: 1) a wide blade fan made of plastic, 2) a heat sink made of a dozen large aluminum sheet layers, 3) a copper base with 3 heat pipes connected to the heat sink, 4) a plastic shroud that surrounds the heat sink to direct some air movement downward into the motherboard below. There's some type of blue thermal padding already applied to the bottom of the copper base, but I would recommend taking this off. It is pretty thick and typically the thinner the material the better contact between CPU and base where you want the maximum thermal conductivity. Also the base bottom is not mirror smooth. For best performance, you want to lap it against sandpaper (600grit) to make it as smooth as you can.
----------------------

I have a Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64, so this applies only to AMD installation. This cooler says it fits both AMD Socket 754/939/AM2 and Intel Socket LGA775. To install for AMD, you have to take off the metal brackets designed for LGA775. There's no distinction between 754, 939 or AM2. You do not have to take the motherboard out of the case, as long as you have enough space in the case to work. Once again, full ATX case would help. The package supplied steel locking lever and locking piece are pretty basic. It would've been better if this was made just for the AMD or just for the Intel sockets. I applied Arctic Silver on the CPU, and then managed to get the cooler on the AMD Athlon 64 CPU without too much fuss, but it is more hassle compared to factory HSF locking mechanism where things just fell into place. Also because this TX2 is "one size fits all", it does not sit automatically centered over CPU. You have to manually move it around to make sure the base covers the entire CPU. Then you can lock it down with the rotating lever. Even then, in my case, it sits slightly lower than I liked and leaving the "Northern" 10% of CPU uncovered. I then manually nudged it upward until the copper base covers the entire CPU. Because of this, I also felt the locking mechanism did not clamp down as tightly as the factory HSF cooler, as I can still nudge it after it's locked. That said, there's sufficient force applied that the TX2 stays put by itself, I don't think it'll work itself loose but we'll have to see about this. The bulky dimension also position the HSF cooler very close to other computer components. The fan itself is very close to my DDR 400 RAM with about 5mm to spare. May be this is a good thing since it draws the heat away from the RAM. If you already have a cramped motherboard interior such as a micro ATX board inside a small case, this thing may not fit.
----------------------

On the plus side, the Hyper TX2 is very quiet and efficient. The packaging say it's about 22dba. I cannot measure the sound but it is definitely quieter than factory HSF. I think the wide blade fan pushes a lot of air despite rotating at a slower rate. The cooling effect is also superior to factory stock HSF. With the TX2, my Athlon 64 idles around 32C, which is about 5C lower than what I got from factory HSF cooler. Even over-clocked by 200Mhz, my full load temp never exceeded 42C. My stock HSF would be close to 48C on full load. This is probably due to its heat pipe and fan design. Traditionally, the fan blows downward at heatsink which dissipates the CPU heat. The Hyper TX2 fan blows sideways, across the heat sink to dissipate its heat as the heat pipes draw heat from the copper base, and then the fan pushes the hot air toward the back of the case. My rear case exhaust fan then pushes that heat out of the case. So this HSF Cooler works great with a tower designed for rear exhaust fan.
----------------------

All in all, I would definitely recommend this HSF cooler for a tower case where you have the real estate. It is very quiet and also cools better than factory HSF cooler. I've only used it for 5 days, but it has impressed me once I got over the installation stage. The solid construction also suggests good durability over the long term.

Better than Intel Stock but not by much

Strengths: Inexpensive; Better than stock HSF

Weakness: Stupid push-pin system;

I bought this when it was on sale free after rebate. Figured why not. replaced my Intel stock fan on E2180. Temperature improved by about 3C. the base of this is not very smooth (maybe only mine?), so if you lap it, probably would be better. Push-pin system is just STUPID!!! i hate it.

Couple'o days later, this was replaced by a GeminII + 2xYate Loon silent fan, which was a huge improvement by about 8-10C.

Bottom line, not-too-bad a cooler for free.

OK performance, good value

Strengths: Can be installed without removing the MOBO (at least on AMD 939)

Weakness: Not very efficient compared to the stock AMD cooler so far, not worth the added height in that respect.

I decided to go ahead and use the thermal pad or layer of grease already in place on the sink, instead of the silver 5 I had under the stock AMD cooler. Might have been a mistake, because I was not really impressed with the difference in achievable speed and temperature compared to the previous solution (I got like 50 MHz more). I may try the silver 5 next time.
Pro: it should be possible to install it without removing the mobo, even though I took it out without trying.

Efficient, inexpensive necessity

Strengths: Great ability to keep cpu temp down, fairly quiet

Weakness: Difficult to install on intel 775

Bought for my first build. Put it in my nzxt case, feeds air out rear 120mm fan. Mounted on Core 2 Quad, hasn't gotten above 30C. Difficult to mount, but worth the performance and price.

Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: improves cooling over stock; cheap after rebate

Weakness: huge; difficult mounting

The 939 Sockets make those things a pita to get installed in there, but that's AMD's design problem -- any brand is likely going to have difficulty here. The two pieces of the clamp have to be fitted separately through the sink. Took me a few trys to get the darn thing secure. If you have an mATX case, be forewarned that you may have a hard time here due to lack of space this thing is huge. The final clamp that wrenches the thing tight to the mobo was not near as tight as I've seen in other heat sinks. I frankly wondered if it would perform well but massive improvement over the old sink. This is an inexpensive way to drop your system temps.

Moves a lot of air, whisper quiet

Strengths: good heat mover, large fan keeps sound down, directs airflow to other components, can be used on AMD or Intel sockets

Weakness: wish it died so I can install my second more expensive CPU cooler.... non really

Are you looking for a value CPU cooler with features, then look no further. This cooler is universal and can be used on the following CPU sockets: AMD (754/939/940/AM2) and Intel (LGA775). So far I installed it on a 939 and AM2, replacing the stock fan, and had no issues.
The fan design is such that it moves a lot of air without increasing sound. The frame is sturdy and sits high, so you might need a big case to avoid hitting the side panel. The cooler comes with different mounting hardware so you can use with the sockets mentioned above.
The cooler has a cowling at the discharge side of the cooling fins. This allows for air to be directed to cool other components on the motherboard. Nice feature.

Cooler Master Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Excellent Quality, Inexpensive, Works with Intel and AMD Chips, Quiet

Weakness: None for Me

I've used many of these coolers on Intel and AMD boards with no problem. They are easy to install and they work great. The fan is very quiet and keeps the CPU very cool. This product can frequently be found for free after rebate. I highly recommend this product.

Hyper TX Cooler from Cooler Master

Strengths: Quite fan, decent CPU surface contact, easier to fit into smaller cases that have enough vertical clearance.

Weakness: Can be difficult to install.

I chose this cooler for a recent HTPC build and it performs up to expectations. The 1800 RPM 92mm fan provides a decent amount of air flow over the copper tubes and aluminum fins. CPU temperatures run 25-35% lower than stock depending on load. Since this was a new build, I was able to attach the cooler while the motherboard was outside of the case. Also, I suggest that you remove the plastic fan shroud which will make installation easier. This is a universal design that will work with the most popular AMD and Intel CPUs on the market right now. It can be purchased at a reasonable price and the cost to value spread make this a wise choice for your next CPU cooler.

Good CPU Cooler for AMD Processors

Strengths: Large and quiet fan, easy install on AMD processor, much better than stock HSF

Weakness: Harder to install on Intel Processors

I bought this to replace the stock HSF of my AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane processor. It worked surprisingly well. It's much quieter than the stock fan and reduces the CPU temperature about 8 degrees C. I bought two of these and tried to install the second one on my Intel E2160 processor with much difficulty. I had to remove the fan and deflector first as people suggested.

CoolerMaster Hyper TX2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: good design that fits almost all sockets. Large fan low noise. Keep the temperature very low.

Weakness: the locking system requires some practice to get it right. Bulky.

I had a smaller fan on the heatsink in my computer and I did not like the noise, so I decided to give this one a try. The fan is much bigger so it runs at lower speed and produces less noise. This is noticable compared to my previous one. It is a little hard to put it on the CPU without taking out the motherboard, so eventually I just took out the motherboard and got it in quickly. It works well for the AMD CPU I have. It keeps the temperature at about 37C under normal usage (no gaming). The noise is low but still noticable if you pay attention to it when you use the computer.

good amd cooler, not for intel

Strengths: pro amd, decent air flow, can reduce number of fans

Weakness: bad for intel

the lock down latch design on this universal design for AMD never fails. unfortunately, cooler-master cuts corner and stick with punch-down-and-hope-it-stick design for intel. shame on you cooler master. who knows, maybe enough force and stress, intel motherboard may break. other than a no-no for intel, this cooler is great and eliminate one fan one the rear of my case too.

Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Improvement over stock Intel HSF, universal, smaller , lighter and cheaper than top of line massive units

Weakness: Push pins, would not recommend for quads or high overclocks

This is a very good choice for upgrading stock cooling on single or dual cores with mild overclock. Should get 5-10 degree heart reduction at load. It is easier to install with the fan off. The cooler will fit in most mid size cases. The Intel push pins could cause problems and can be replaced with screws and springs. I have done this with several of the aftermarket Intel coolers.

Amazing cooler for the price!!!!!

Strengths: I got an amazing deal on it, efficient heat pipe design, large 100mm fan in a 92mm frame, almost compatible with any and every CPU, and it cools a heavily overclocked E2140 amazingly.

Weakness: The fan isn't 4-pin so it can't automatically control the RPM like most others and I'm not a big fan of the push pin mounting design.

I got this cooler for an amazing $0.99 shipped after rebate at Newegg. This cooler is paired with a Intel E2140 that's overclocked to an amazing 3.21GHz. It cools my CPU very well for binging overclocked a 100%. One really sweet thing about this cooler is it's compatible with so many CPU sockets which makes it really easy because if you need a cooler all you need to do is buy a Hyper TX2 (Intel: LGA775 AMD: 754, 939 *if it has a bracket*, and AM2 compatible). I also have a Cooler Master Elite 330 case and I love that as well. Cooler Master makes some amazing products and often has rebates that makes them hard to pass up. Even without a rebate this cooler would be an amazing buy! I highly recommend you check this cooler out!

Decent cooler

Strengths: -quiet push fan design -Cools Voltage regulators with molded fan shroud -Price After rebate provided the rebate(s) come (I bought two)

Weakness: -uses the intel weak push pin design (unless you buy a bolt thru kit) -doesn't cool as well as higher priced units

For those of you complaining about INTEL's terrible push-pin design. I found this prior to buying (in newegg's user reviews).
Someone, sorry don't remember which user...suggested that he had bought this kit: THERMALRIGHT LGA775 BOLT-THRU KIT
It was designed to be used with thermalright's line but even on their own website they show this kit being used with the Intel Stock heatsink fan. The user and I have installed this CPU heatsink with this bolt thru kit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The cooler itself: Well mine, running benchmark stress tests 100% on both cores on the older stepping L2 model E4400, hovers at 49-50 C.
No doubt that if I had the newer stepping M0 (with lower power usage voltage from the get-go) the temps would be lower. But it is comforting to know that pushing both cores to there 100% use level in three different stress testing programs tops out at 50 C or about 122 F.
During normal use & even gaming this isn't going to be pushed close to that far.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I opted to remove the thermal paste that comes pre-applied to the base of this heatsink. It is rather thickly applied. After removing it carefully, there was some sort of sticky layer across the entire base of the heatsink. With some aggressive rubbing (with isopropyl alcohol) the film eventually came off. The surface of the base is/was not very polished which is probably why they have such thick paste. It would likely be worth while to get some suitable grades of Sandpaper and to lap the base to a high smooth gloss.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
I had to remove the fan shroud (no directions, but you just carefully pull straight up) to install the bolt kit with screws.

Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: quiet, inexpensive

Weakness: bulky

I bought this to replace the stock fan come with my 939 x2 3800+. It takes me a little effort to install because of its bulky size. Efficient but not too much. CPU temperature drops about 4 degree when idle. However, it does a noticeable noise reduction compared to the stock one. Can't beat it at this price.

Quiet and efficient cooling solution

Strengths: efficient quiet

Weakness: installation

There was a little bit of trouble during installation. Once that step past, it is a breeze. It is quiet and very efficient, keeps CPU cool even with CPU load at 50%. Great cooling sotution.

Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Great cooling, good price, and quality components.

Weakness: Heatsink is quite large, and consideration must be taken when installing this unit. Pins used for installing the unit can be troublesome.

Overall this is a great product, it cools my CPU wonderfully, and does so with very little noise. I noticed a 5-10 degree drop in temperature after installation. Keep your eyes open, as these coolers often have rebates making them quite attractive for the price.

Cooler Master Hyper TX2 Cooler

Strengths: Very economical. Quiet fan.

Weakness: Large (this may not be a problem for some). Push pins are difficult to install.

Installed on an Intel E6300 C2D chip. Was difficult to push the pins into the board but with pressure, it was finally installed. Removed the included thermal material and used AS5. The included fan is not too loud and kept the CPU at a reasonable 35C when idle and around 55 when at full load. Might try to tweak the cooling with better case fans later.

The price can't be beat though. If you're looking for an economical, yet powerful CPU cooler, this unit, when on "sale" might just be your cooler.

Cooler CPU at a great price

Strengths: Significantly cools CPU

Weakness: Must push really hard to mount cooler to motherboard

Overall, I really like the Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler becuase it does a great job of cooling my CPU. I did have a little bit of trouble mounting the cooler to my motherboard becuase you have to push really hard- almost to the point that it seems as if you motherboard might break. Also, I got this CPU cooler free-after-rebate, so the price was right!

Large, quiet CPU cooler

Strengths: Large fan, very quiet, solid build. It is relatively easy to install, no need to take out the motherboard. Can fit multiple kinds of motherboard. Price is good.

Weakness: The whole thing is a little bit too large. In order to fit, I have to remove the air duct of my Ultra defender case.

The cooler fan blows towards the case fan, this can increase the air flow of your whole case; It is much less noisy than my old cooler. In fact, I can not hear it as my 120mm case fan is even louder than it. My old CPU cooler blows like a jet engine during system reboot or when the fan control is off. This one is so much better in that front. I don't need to turn on fan speed control at all. Overall, this is a very good cooler.

A worth upgrade

Strengths: Large fan. Large heatsink. Quiet. Better than stock HSF.

Weakness: None found so far.

Got it installed and running on my computer for more than 7 days. CPU Temp reduced significantly. Worth upgrade to the stock HSF. No problems fpound so far. Recommended it.

cheap alternative to oem cpu cooler

Strengths: better than stock oem fan, price with rebate (i.e., free) can't be beat, once installed it's very snug with motherboard, easy to uninstall

Weakness: a bit large, need some manual dexterity to get plugs to fit correctly

this is a very good cooler that is affordable and pretty easy to install. it's good to know beforehand, however, that the plastic cover should be removed to allow for easy access to the plastic clips that attach to the motherboard. the tall height of the cooler did force me to modify part of my case (i.e., cut part of a plastic tube that was designed to work with stock oem cpu fan) but this is not much of a detraction. i actually purchased another one because it's worth it.

Nice CPU cooler with low price

Strengths: Low noise level, easy to install, Low cost,performs cooling well

Weakness: massive size and might not fit small cases

Due to its large size it performs cooling very well for my AMD 3800+ Athlon 64. The price was excellent. Easy installation. It did reduced my CPU temperature by approximately 5-7 degree C during idle times when I removed my factory installed fan.I would definitely recommend this product.

Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Good Cooling at an attractive price.

Weakness: Difficult to install for intel CPUs.

This cooler is a real bargain when you can find it sold with a rebate (and are OK with the hassles of doing a rebate). The cooler performs better and is quieter than the stock coolers from Intel and AMD. Removing the fan and deflector before installation will make the install go easier. The deflector diverts air toward the motherboard to help cool components near the CPU.

Decent Peformer

Strengths: Low noise.

Weakness: Size, Weight

This is a decent CPU cooler. It does just as well as the stock AMD hsf combo, but is a bit quieter. Depending on your motherboard, this may be a hassle to install. Also, you will need to have the right clearance in your case to install this as it takes up quite a bit of room.

Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Good design and construction. CHEAP if you get it with rebate. Fairly easy to install.SIMILAR TO ARCTIC COOLING FREEZER LINE

Weakness: For the price, don't expect to get the same results as a Tuniq Tower or Thermalright 120 Ultra. Those cheap plastic push pins. At 482g this cooler exceeds Intel's required max weight of 450g for a LGA 775 with platic push pins. I used Themalright's LGA

The newer mid-line CPUs run cool compared to their predecessors so some of these massive heat-sinks are that necessary. The fan that comes with the retail box for CPUs is more than adequate since its the one shipped from Intel or AMD if you're not overclocking Works great with OC cpu's. Air flow is horizontal in most cases. Provides ram coolong when positioned to suck from the rear of the case. I added a simple duct to the rear of the case for cool outside air.Intel mounts are easily removed for A64 install.

Great for the price

Strengths: Cools very well.

Weakness: It took me about 40 mins to get the pins locked onto the motherboard. Installing is frustrating but well worth it.

It really is a great fan, and a great deal. Cooler Master is wonderful! The only downside is you need to very much time to get the pins locked to the motherboard.

Powerful fan at a low cost

Strengths: Sturdy, durable, somewhat universal, high air flow, low-noise fan, and not too heavy.

Weakness: Tall and can be hard to install.

This is a great fan from Cooler Master. It cools great and is quiet as well. Works with the newer Intel LGA775 and AMD AM2 sockets as well as the older AMD 754, 939, and 940 sockets. I would recommend this CPU cooler to anyone on a tight budget, but wanting a powerful CPU cooler.

Hypter TX2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: huge fan to blow heat off and keep the heatsink cool, Huge heatsink, easy push pin installation

Weakness: sometimes need to be slightly modified to fit on the cpu, heatsink is huge and can get in the way of wires depending on where your CPU is in your case.

When i got this heatsink i thought it would be an average heatsink but when it showed up in the mail, this was huge. Its a fairly big sized heatsink (about the length of my hand) with a good sized fan on it. Its really to cool your CPU and some of the surrounding components in your computer. I put it in, and the only real downside i saw was, some of my wires needed to be rerouted around it as they were getting in the way. Once on, this thing worked like a champ and kept my CPU cooler then it has every been. Great product and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Quiet cooler

Strengths: Quiet, effective cooling

Weakness: NA

Although the cooler is a little big, but it is not very heavy at all and my motherboard has no problem supporting it. Regular compute cases should fit it. It cools the CPU very effectively, and is also very quite. I ended up replacing the stock fan of my pc. It is just that the manual is a little confusing to read.

Good Bang for your Buck!!

Strengths: Price was free AR. Fit my Abit I35-E with mods needed. Good cooler for mid overclocking. About equal in performance to an AC Freezer Pro.

Weakness: Cheap PITA plastic push pin installation.

At 482g with fan this cooler exceeds Intel's required 450g limit for an LGA775 socket. I would not move your computer around if you use the plastic push pins for installation. If you want a super secure install then for a few bucks get yourself a Thermalright Bolt-Thru-Kit.

nice cooler

Strengths: cools my athlon x2

Weakness: bulky size

It cools my amd athlon x2 by 5 C comparing to stock cooler. Very easy to install. It is bigger than shown in picture. I have to remove an air tube on my case to fit it in.

Nice cheap Fan

Strengths: Design (air flow), quiet, compatibility

Weakness: Combination of copper and aluminum.

I got this fan to replace the stock fan I had. I upgraded to a dual core and the stock fan was not that good.
The design attracted me. It blows the air toward the chassis fan thus improving the overall airflow. It also has that plastic cap from behind where it sends some air to the motherboard capacitors.
The fan is close to the RAM so it should keep them cooler to.

If you are using a socket 939 you need to remove the 2 screws and the pins because they are for socket 775.
The place where the screews were remain empty so I am not happy about it but this does not seem to be a problem because liquid coolers have similar design.

The CPU temperature dropped more than 5C even though I disabled CPU scaling. With frequency scaling it should be more.

This comes quite cheap after the rebate. Without the rebate I would go for the copper only version.

Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Great Cooler, great price!

Weakness: None.

This cooler is huge, but it works great. Noise level is acceptable. Installation was easy. CPU temperature dropped 5 to 10 C degrees after replacing with this cooler. The price is great with the rebate.

A more than decent upgrade from stock cooler

Strengths: Highly affordable upgrade from stock cooler if you buy it with rebate. Pre-applied thermal paste makes installation easy.

Weakness: Taller than I expected, maynot fit in HTPC or low profile case.

If you have Intel 775 socket and you have big fingers, the two front push pins may annoy you since they're right below the fan. The fan is not "silent" but noise level is acceptable. I personally prefer the vertical orientation of the cooler, hot air pass right through the rear fan and out the back of the case. Temp ~ 40C on Pentium D 805.

Edit: FYI, you can remove the AMD bracket if you want to.

Great CPU Cooler

Strengths: Great and quient cooler

Weakness: Larger than I would have initial thought it would be.

Bottomline, this is one great working CPU Cooler. It is very easy to install and is almost impossible to hear it run. Although be prepared, it is one large fan and heatsink so make sure you have plenty of room to install in your case. I would highly recommend this unit especially since it usually goes on sale with a nice rebate attached.

Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Easy Install, simple, affordable, fan blows really nice and quiet

Weakness: None

The cooler is biggg, but it is quiet and effective when put into use. It does cool my Quad well, my CPU dropped 5-11 degrees °C after replacing this over my stock cooler. Also it is very reasonable price with the rebate

COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-L9U1-GP 92mm Hyper TX2 CPU...

Strengths: Quiet, clever design, really bring the temp down comparing to stock heatsink & fan

Weakness: None

A nice heatsink with a 100mm fan in a 92mm fan frame, if you need more airflow you can replace the fan with a high output 92mm one. Construction is top notch, took my cpu temp down from 42C idle to 34C

Coooler Master Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler

Strengths: Nice upgrade from a regular, stock fan

Weakness: Extremely large!

I bought this to upgrade from the stock fan I was using. It does a pretty good job of keeping my CPU cool. Installation was relatively easy, and it has worked without any issues since I installed it. Just take note that this cooler is HUGE. Your case may or may not accommodate this cooler due to its size. If you're not sure if it will fit, I would opt to go with a different cooler. But if it will fit, the hyper TX 2 is a nice and reasonable priced upgrade from stock fans.

BIG

Strengths: Cools well, without too much noise. Affordable.

Weakness: Quite large, could be a problem for those with tightly packed motherboards & small cases

I purchased this to cool an Athlon FX-55. It works very well & shoots the air straight out of the back of the case (eliminating the need for an additional exhaust fan). I don't ever notice the fan going on/off. The case was an older case; therefore was a bit of a challenge getting the cover on as this cooler was so large.

Installation was easy even on a my M-ATX board, though I would recommend checking to make sure your case is large enough before buying this cooler.
