Cooler Master have opted for a simple tower design for the Hyper 612S which consists of a stack of 49 aluminium fins which are arranged around eight U-shaped copper heatpipes. Even though there is only a single stack of fins, it is very thick, meaning it provides a comparable surface area to many double-stack coolers currently available.
The main area in which manufacturers are forced to compromise when creating a single stack cooler (rather than a double stack cooler) is that there isn't space for as many fans. With the Hyper 612S, there is only one fan included but there is a spare set of brackets in the box should you wish to add a supplementary fan on the other side.
Unlike many coolers on the market, the Hyper 612S is supplied with the fan pre-attached which is going to simplify the installation process slightly. The fan that Cooler Master include is a 120mm model which spins at a constant speed of 1,300rpm. The glossy black finish of the fan is sure to compliment other components aesthetically.
Cooler Master have decided to use a copper CPU block for the Hyper 612S which comes into close contact with the six copper heatpipes. It doesn't have a mirror finish like some CPU blocks we've seen but the engineering standards are high quality.
