You got that right. Using AMD for the last few years, I've developed a great appreciation for coolers that have a mounting system that accommodates AMD's asymmetrical retention.

The Hyper 212+ is definitely one of the better (if not the best) system I've seen on a heatsink in terms of AMD mounting ability. Granted, the X-bracket itself is a bit flimsy IMO but it works and is flexible in orientation which I absolutely love about this thing. I've moved on to the D14 now though.

My System Specs

Default Hmmm rethink?

Geez for $30 at NCIX this is a nice cooler, I've heard it can get decent overclocked temps as well. In fact since my Corsair H50 is faltering I should probably get one of these as a back, after all it's just the price of a case of beer , so what's one less case this weekend... hehe.

I can't believe I didn't notice this guide earlier but it's never to late to say "nice job! sswilson", and don't think I didn't notice that lapped cpu, you perfectionist...

Heh... as much as I'd like to take credit for going the extra mile, that's not a lapped CPU, it's a CPU that's had its labeling worn off by IC7...... ;)

Threw this Cooler in my wifes recent new build, imo its "an ok $30" cooler, but doesn't perform anywhere near as well as my $69 TRUE.....you get what you pay for. Great mounting system though!

I've got nothing to directly compare it to because I'm using my 212+ in my very first hombuilt currently and I never bothered to install the OEM cooler. BUT, earlier tonight I had my unlocked x3 455 folding for about an hour and a half @ 4Ghz 1.52V (loaded) and temps never broke 47 degrees (In an antec 1200 all fans 100%, ambient 22). I definetly feel like I got all I paid for!
