Installation
Since the Cooler Master Hyper 622 comes with the MF120 HALO fan already pre-installed, you actually have to remove the middle fan to access the mounting screw at the base of the heatsink. This needs to be done so that you can securely install the heastsink on to the CPU mounting backets.
Based on the height of your motherboard’s I/O panel and the height of the ram, you can adjust the position of the cooling fans using the include fan clips.
Test setup and Testing Methodology
The system used for testing is listed in the table below. Ambient temperatures were kept at 24 degrees Celsius +/- 1 degree. We used the included thermal paste, which I think is more than adequate. The fan speed was set to default. The idle temperatures were recorded after 10 minutes of idle and max temperatures were recorded after a 5 minute torture test using Adia 64 CPU System Stability Test and recording the Cores values and taking the average.

Idle Temps
The idle temperatures were surprisingly low. With no workload, the average idle temps was around 30 degrees Celsius, with the cooling fans spinning at around 700-800 rpm.
Load Temps
At 100% CPU load, tempratures averaged around 88 degrees Celsius, which is I think is a little on the high side, but acceptable. The CPU package reached a high of 99 degreess Celsius, which isn’t ideal as you may start to experience some CPU throttling.
With CPU at full load, the nosie level of the cooling fans did go up to 2,073 rpm … it’s what I expected, so nothing to worry about here.
Now lets move on to the Conclusion and Verdict!
