Cooler Master is well versed with the CPU air cooler market, and its Hyper 212/212 Black series is regarded as having some of the best coolers ever. Learning from its experience, the company has unveiled the successor to the Hyper 410R, the Hyper 411 Nano, which targets more compact builds without compromising cooling performance. The Hyper 411 Nano is an all-black, compact CPU air cooler with a single fan that is compatible with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs.
The Best RGB CPU Coolers in 2024
RGB lighting is all the rage when it comes to PC gaming. Here are some of our performing cooling options with excellent RGB in tow!
Cooler Master Hyper 411 Nano: Design and Features
The Hyper 411 Nano is an all-black CPU air cooler with a compact, yet thick radiator and a single fan, without any RGB lights. Because of the smaller size, it can fit into small-form factor builds, but still offer the cooling capabilities of a full-size air cooler. Compared to the Hyper 212 Black Edition, the Hyper 411 Nano is 21mm and about 23mm smaller in length and height, respectively. It is 8mm thicker to compensate though, and the extra width is noticeable.
The Best Mini-ITX Motherboards for 2024
Mini-ITX motherboards are small, but they still pack a punch with unbelievable features that weren't possible a decade ago.
It uses a 92mm fan that can spin at up to 2500 RPM and move 45.14 CFM of air. Because of the smaller size and faster rotation, the Hyper 411 Nano is louder than the Hyper 212, but it is still very manageable. The fan is, however, easy to take off and install for upgrades or orientation changes. It is also very durable with over 160,000 hours MTTF (Mean Time to Failure).
The four direct contact heatpipes return with the Hyper 411 Nano, which ensures better heat dissipation. The heatpipes make direct contact with the CPU and thermal paste, instead of there being a copper block in the middle. The Hyper 411 Nano is compatible with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, as well as older models.
While the stealthy aesthetic will be appreciated by some users, others may find the lack of any RGB lighting to be a deal-breaker. But, just like the Hyper 212 got an ARGB version later, Cooler Master has stated that the 411 Nano will also get an ARGB version sometime in Q1 next year.
Cooler Master Hyper 411 Nano: Price and Availability
The company has not shared pricing for the US yet, but the Hyper 411 Nano is said to be available in select markets. It is expected to arrive in the US soon, and we should get a better idea about the price as well. For reference, the Hyper 212 Black is priced at $30 (currently $20 at Newegg) with ARGB versions listed for $35.
The Hyper 212 series has always been a budget-friendly option, offering great value and the ability to invest more on other components of the build.
