Cooler Master AMD AM4 Upgrade Kit "AMD Ryzen, Hyper 212 X/EVO, Hyper 412 Series, MasterAir Pro 3/4" RR-AM4B-H212-S1

Great! Was suspicious at first due to the lack of reviews, but it turns out 100% worth it! Easy install for my 212 EVO for my Ryzen build.

Bought it to mount my Hyper 212 EVO onto my Ryzen 5 2600 on the AB350M-Gaming 3 motherboard. Does what it's supposed to, and it does it well.

I was able to install this with no issues at all , with a 3rd party Cooler

the x brace didn't fit correctly, i ended up using the mounting screws from the AM4 kit and the Cross brace from the Coolmaster cooler i purchased, it all worked in the end.

Item was delivered in time, though its box was a little bit smashed. It's only metal bits inside so I didn't really care. Got what was described and could fit my Hyper 212 EVO cooler on a B450 motherboard. Satisfied

The kit comes with a set of 4 mounting screws that screw into the existing backplate on the motherboard and a new crossbar to holding the heatsink down on the cpu. What I found was that this adapter felt like a “hack” solution from coolermaster because when you screw the 4 mounting screws into the backplate it sits loose. You can wiggle it from the motherboard easily, and that feels wrong. What holds the backplate securely against the motherboard is the new crossbar that screws into the mounting holes and applies enough force to sandwich heatsink and backplate against the motherboard and cpu. Anyone doing this would worry if they didn’t expect that. The crossbar is tricky to install because of the required force to hold everythig together. The trick is to screw one corner down slightly and then to immediately do the opposite side while pushing the backplate up and holding against the motherboard. If you screw one corner down too much, the other corner pops up due to the pivoting in the centre, and it becomes very difficult to completely install especially with the backplate still loose and possibly angling the mount. I’ve read a few reviews here already about using the oriinal crossbar due to this, but don’t use the original crossbar because it doesn’t apply enough pressure to hold the heatsink securely, heatsink can slide around. As I said, a very “hacky” approach

Works perfectly, just follow the instructions from the website not the included ones

Great build quality, screws straight into standard mobo backplate with standoffs that came with the Hyper 212 EVO so very easy installation (unlike the AM3+ mounting solution)
