Hi I have just upgraded too a Hyper 212 in order too bring my cpu temps down a bit but I am not sure if the cooler is working as well as it should, while its certainly brough the temps down from my stock cooler I have an idel temp of 38-39 and while running Prime 95 (maximum temp and max power) I got a result of 64c after 17 miniutes (might have been shorter than that I left the room) I stopped the test at this point though. I dont know the ambeint temp of this room but its pretty warm at the moment and computer is near the radiator (wow I am such a tech these days).
So I have the Hyper in a push pull set up but one of the fans is not speed controlled so should be running at 2000rpm I think thats the pull one.
This is on a 965 at stock speeds so I am wondering if I have done something wrong here.
 
The 212 is a pretty small cooler so don't expect great load temps, although it does seem quite high. What voltages is running through the 965? AMD tends to have high voltages to keep the chip stable but you should be able to lower it to 1.35v to lower temps. Also how have you applied the thermal paste? What case do you have and how is the airflow within it?
 
1.3750V, I am wondering if I may have actually put a bit too much Thermal paste on but it was applied about a pea size then spread with a credit card. Haf 922 with 200m front intake and 120m bottum intake, 200mm top out taking, 200mm side outtake and 120mm top back outtake
