CPU Cooler Hyper 212 Evo

There is a liquid inside the heatpipes. When the liquid touches the base of the cooler it evaporates and thereby removes heat from the CPU. The heatpipes then spreads the heat into the fins, where it gets cooled by the air the fan moves over them. Then the vapour turn into liquid again, and the process repeats.

It works the same as any other tower style heatsink with heat pipes. The vapor/liquid gets hot at the bottom, then rises to the top, transfers the head to the aluminum fins and get's cooled by the air.

The liquid in the heatpipes vaporizes and rises to the to the top. The fan cools the heatpipes, so the liquid travels down to the baseplate again. Repeat forever.

 

The fins on the heatsink are there to maximize the cooling performance, "capturing" the air and dissipating the heat.

This is the basic principle of heatsinks and radiators etc.

The fins increase the surface area for heat dissipation. They are cool because all the heat from the CPU heat spreader is figuratively spread over that large surface area, so it isn't warm to touch at all.

Remove the cooler and touch the heat spreader at load if you have a spare CPU lying around. I am not responsible for any burns :D

Well, first of all the cpu produces heat. It conducts via the touching coldplate to the heatpipes. Heatpipes are basically tubes with a special liquid in them, that will evaporate when it gets warmer to where the fin array is. The heat is then transfered to the fins by having contact with the heatpipes. By having so many fins the surface area is beeing highly increased, compared to the actual cpu size. Then the air being pushed through by the fan takes the heat away into your case.

They can also work the other way (heat starts at the fins and goes down). I put my Hyper TX3 behind my old Dell at full load so the hot air was blowing into the fins, and man that base got HOT. Then I put the fan on and turned the fan on and I could feel the heat coming off the fins and the base getting colder. For a while it was on my old GeForce FX 5200 as a passive cooler (no fan) and it still got really hot. Now I have an old solid copper Thermaltake cooler on it with a string glued to the bottom (or "top" since it's upside down) so it doesn't kill the card.

I think this is how it works:

 

There is a special fluid thing inside the heat pipes.

 

As the CPU gets hot, it heats up the fluid and the fluid turns into a gas, and the gas goes to the top. As it goes to the top the fins 'grab' the heat from the heat pipes and disperses it onto the fins, giving it a larger surface area. The fan cools the fins. As the fluid gets colder, it condenses back into a fluid/liquid and it goes to the bottom. The process repeats.

AAnd 6th time. Why?

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

why do you have so many questions about the 212? and why can't you ask them all in one thread instead of flooding the forums with a dozen questions about the same cooler.

Today i learned that there is liquid inside.
