but I thought the cooler was supposed to reduce heat!

For £3-7 more, I'd absolutely recommend a new one, just for peace of mind on being super clean out-the-box and no worries about screws being bent or anything(which can be difficult with these).

Great cooler shame i paid 30 a month ago :disappointed: but is excellent at keeping my 4.6 i5 2500k under 60 degrees
Please note this is huge and may not fit in some cases

Nice price but I would take one of the nearly 20 "Used-Very Good" ones available for £22.31

Just out of curiosity, why would you take a used, or open box, one rather than new (and with different warranties) for a £1 saving?

Ive got the hyper 212 plus and it looks identical, I think the difference is very minor but I know to some the small difference could be a big thing.
At the time I paid £14 for it delivered. Still using it and running fine.
I'm actually looking at getting another cooler for my new build. Im still deciding, do I go for this or try out the noctua coolers that everyone goes on about, they are pricey though. Are noctua really that good? Or am I just better off with one of these?

I have the Noctua NH-D15, it's massive but you can't hear the thing at all and it performs on par with some liquid coolers. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Noctua fans are awesome. Their coolers are ordinary but they do have a nice fitting system

Why do you want a different cooler?
Honestly, you get serious diminishing returns going to better coolers. You *might* get a few tenths of a Ghz better on your overclock if you're pushing it hard. But the 212 is already basically silent in most cases and provides entirely respectable cooling.

I've also been running the plus version for over 5 years now. The stock fan was rubbish so I swapped it for a 140mm own noctua. Nerve heard the cooler again. Mechanical HDD is the noisiest component in my PC

I've had both. Do you need the lowest temps known to man? If you need them low, go for this. If you want overkill and willing to sacrifice money and aesthetics (imo) go for the dh14/15. I had one. They're mindblowingly good but unnecessary for most people

Thanks for that. Im thinking of going with the D14.
What about the BeQueit coolers, they worth the money?
