Edited the title, choose a proper one next time, buddy.

And here goes the review:-

Cooler Master TPC 812 Vertical Vapor Chamber CPU Cooler

Read it couple of days back, looks good so far. But waiting for a comparison with Silver Arrow and D14 and of course, closed loop liquid coolers.

Will take some time to be available here.

if it beats d14 then it will be the king of the air cooler.

The Bottom plate and Pipes are not Copper. Weird.

Looks pretty much same as 212 EVO with added vertical Pipes.

Don't know why nobody is testing this cooler in push pull configuration. BTW, here's the dimensions:-

^^ here you go

I added a second fan in push/pull to see if that could get even more performance out of the TPC 812. All geared up, the TPC 812 did perform slightly better, but not to the extent I had hoped for. It was able to knock off the ~$100 water cooling solution with ease (it did that with only one fan), but was no match for the likes of the behemoth Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Noctua NH-D14. However, the dual fan setup did provide an excellent side effect. Using fan control software (in this case ASUS’ FanExpert 2), I was able to get stellar cooling results in near silence for everyday use.

Thanks tg for the link. So hardly any difference with an additional fan, no wonder CM bundled the cooler with just one fan.
