Cooler Master today introduced the Hyper 212 3DHP, its first CPU air cooler to implement its proprietary 3D Heatpipe technology that the company showcased at the 2025 Computex in May. The cooler introduces a unique new heatpipe design. While most aluminium fin-stack tower-type coolers have their heatpipes designed such that they are bent in a U-shape, with their middle regions being part of the cooler's base that makes contact with the heat source, Cooler Master's 3D Heatpipe design involves a branch of the heatpipe right in the middle of the heatpipe that projects upward, through the middle region of the fin-stack. This design more uniformly spreads heat across the fin-stack, as heat from each heatpipe is spread both across the central and peripheral regions of each fin.
There are two variants of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 3DHP, the main variant with ARGB LED-illuminated fan, and the Hyper 212 3DHP Black, which comes with a black, non-illuminated fan. Besides lighting, both variants offer identical specs. The cooler measures 133 mm x 86 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH), the company didn't disclose weight. The cooler comes with two 3D heatpipes, which branch out to a total of six ends. The heatpipes make contact with the CPU over a copper base. The included 120 mm fan turns at speeds of up to 2,050 RPM, pushing up to 63.1 CFM of airflow at 2.69 mm H₂O of static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 27 dBA. Unlike other coolers from Cooler Master in this category which come with 2-year warranties, the company is backing this cooler with a generous 5-year warranty as added confidence in the build quality of its 3D heatpipes. The company is pricing the Hyper 212 3DHP Black at $29.99, which is the same price as the current Hyper 212 Black.
