If you look at the tom's hardware review they do mention it struggled to cool their intel i9 series cooler so they recommend it for a less powerful CPU than that level of "computing power" ... when I look at the amazon reviews I found many stating that they were happy with it's performance on the amd ryzen series 5 5600x which is currently selling for about $166 on amazon (only $6 more than the black friday price if I recall correctly)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

though there are a lot of people who argue the stock cooler that 5600x processor comes with to begin with is just fine even for gaming... you'll have to do your own research and make up your mind on that one Smilie ...

Honestly I personally have no idea how well this would cool the amd ryzen 7 , 5700x which is on sale for $179 as another slickdeals poster kindly pointed out

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

https://slickdeals.net/f/16417588-amd-ryzen-7-5700x-3-4ghz-8-core-16-thread-am4-unlocked-desktop-processor-179-00-f-s-amazon?page=1#commentsHeader

but if you're willing to read through my wall of text comments on there Stick Out Tongue there's a lot of discussion back and forth between myself and the very kind and helpful Kman who has a rank of grand master on this forum so I'm inclined to listen to whatever he says and you probably should too Smilie

and pre rebate price this does fall into the $30 or so price range Kman says is all you need for the 5700x on sale.

Regarding the rebates... normally you can "print" out stuff as a pdf (just choose pdf as the option instead of actually printing it out) so I would do that and save pdf's of the rebate form they have you complete and print out online.. take pictures of the UPC code, make sure you can retrieve a pdf of the amazon invoice (shouldn't be too hard just log into your amazon account and get it Smilie ) ... this has only happened to me rarely (not with cooler master per se but with rebates in general) but you may have to contact cooler master if enough time has gone by and you haven't received your rebate yet.... use the calendar function on your phone (I think google calendar is a free app for your android phone?) or if you prefer to do stuff on windows like me just activate google calendar on your desktop

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-g...op-4687506

set a reminder to go off at the date cooler master says you'll get the rebate by (they'll give you an expected date)

https://support.google.com/calend...0frequency.

and email them (they give a phone number and/or email address you can reach their rebate department at on the form you print out to mail in ) if your rebate hasn't arrived... on rare occasions I've had to fax over a resubmission of my rebate stuff (they would accept say a printout of the upc code you saved as a picture on your phone and a printout of that invoice and rebate form pdf you saved earlier) ... you can fax stuff for free online from windows (fax zero has done a great job for me several times)

Yep I know that's a lot of work .. on the other hand let's face it everything is more expensive nowadays and if you can get $25 out of it I have the time and patience to do it (though I can see how others might not Smilie )

IMPORTANT, one other thing and I can't believe I forgot to mention this when I first posted this... this cooler is BIG, like 6.25 inches tall so turn off your desktop PC, unplug the power cord , get in there with a ruler (hopefully a non conductive one made of wood or plastic as opposed to steel) and do some measuring in your PC case to make sure you can fit this into your PC case to begin with. According to coolermaster's official product description page it's 4.7 x 3.1 x 6.1 inches

https://www.coolermaster.com/cata...ifications

Here's one video on how to install the cooler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDBsEEsqFeM

although I'd do a youtube search to the effect of "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2" and look at a few other install videos too if you're nervous like I am about this sort of thing Smilie

I do find myself wondering if you could install a second fan but the helpful folks on tom's hardware forum say it apparently doesn't really help that much

I'm guessing the TD is for the rebate...I'm inclined to agree, in principle at least, tho I'm not gonna TD someone for Cooler Master's audacity. $25 rebate on this is disgusting, they should just price it fairly like they used to, but sadly those days are gone.

212 is super outdated. Lots of better ones for the same price out there.

Holy smokes that thing is a behemoth. Were it smaller I'd consider it, but this is too much for my cases. Too bad. But thanks for keeping an eye out.

Sorry to hear that Frown .. did you keep a copy/picture of the upc code and a copy/pdf of the rebate form they make you complete online, print out and mail to them? If so there's still hope of getting the rebate Smilie (the instructions I gave below are a huge pain in the posterior I admit that but if you jump through their hoops you eventually get your rebate).. though I'm sorry to hear about that dude all that work and no rebate !

Sometimes they lie about how long the rebate takes and it arrives a month or two after they said it would... did they shoot you an email you can use to check the status of your rebate?

I see $40 and a link to a rebate that says it is a $25 rebate on the Amazon Page, but the rebate form it links to says it is $10 rebate..??

Bought this cooler in 2017 to cool a 35 watt TDP CPU that I wanted to run a monster cooler on and not use any fan because it was open air and not in a computer case. (Wall mount ESXi homelab setup) It worked great for this for many years. No issues. If it did thermal throttle, I never knew about it. Most homelabs are sitting doing nothing 99% of the time.

It would seem that the deal simply never existed at the promoted price. Update the thread title and allow those with deal alerts for this cooler to decide if the generally acceptable $30AR price is what they're willing to pay.

Good luck!

Darn it ! Sorry about that guys I shouldn't have taken amazon at their word I guess, first time I've ever seen that happen. Had I known it was $30 after rebates not $15 I never would have posted this to begin with ! My apologies.
