If the washers fully covered the metal, the issue would happen a lot less.
If the cooler were to include 4 washer that were about 1 to 2 mm in thickness, this would not be an issue instead. let me go complain to goodyear about this" "these tires should be designed to handle cars with bad alignment. (I keep on picturing him with an eyepatch on and a cape, sorry for the earbud cable that is in the way) Go with something else, if you do a tiny bit of looking you can find something that is better or about the same as the 212 evo for the same price.īelow is pictures of what it did to my computer, and the washer that is pre-applied to the cooler, and a cute kitten that I found outside today because no matter how annoyed I am, I do like to spread positivity.

TL DR - Cooler Master's mounting hardware for their hyper series is poorly designed and may cause your motherboard to break. And his screws were in my opinion, loose. The same thing happened to his computer but it didn't damage the traces enough to kill the motherboard, so it isn't isolated to just my computer. My friend is letting me borrow his old computer, he had a hyper 212 evo on it. They won't do anything about it, so I want to do what I can do about it because I don't want someone to try to save some money and get a cheap cooler from cooler master to end up with a broken motherboard and then be told you've done something wrong and there is nothing they'll do about it But for me, it's the exposed metal on the bottom of the posts that actually scraped my motherboard that wasn't protected by the washers they put on the posts. So now I'm out a motherboard, I contacted Cooler Master about the issue and they said that what could've caused it was me either under tightening or over tightening the screws, which I know I didn't do either of those. While taking off the CPU cooler I noticed that the mounting for my CPU cooler (hyper 212 LED) had actually broken 1 or 2 traces on my motherboard.

So I recently had an issue with my computer and could not figure out what was causing it, and it only got worse and worse to the point I wasn't able to boot to a thumb driveĪnd please note, I'm not dumb with computers, have my PC Pro, Client Pro, and A+ certifications, countless hours of working on Macs and regular PC's and many, many in class hours working on PC'sĭuring the issues I found out that there was something on my motherboard that was getting rather warm, so I went, took off the CPU cooler so I could replace the thermal paste for that part.
