The normal Hyper 212 has a metallic look and feel, but the Black Edition sees everything anodized with a gun-metal black color. The top cover has a brushed aluminum finish making the cooler look far more expensive than it actually is. Interestingly, Cooler Master claims that this jet black color improves radiative cooling performance.
A total of four heat pipes make a direct connection with the CPU heat spreader, ensuring you get the most out of the design. With the fan spinning full speed, the noise emitted clocks in at around 26dBA. Everything is optimized for the high-static environment for pushing air through the thin metallic fins. It's simply amazing, especially at this price.
