In response to feedback, Cooler Master issued revisions of its Hyper TX3 and Hyper 212 CPU coolers. The new G1 revisions of the two, can be identified by new model numbers RR-910-HTX3-G1 (for Hyper TX3) and RR-B10-212P-G1 (for Hyper 212), and maintain the same prices of their predecessors, US $29.99 and $19.99, respectively. Changes include redesigned CPU contact bases, and a more end-user friendly fan-retention mechanism.

With CPU contact base on which copper heatpipes make direct contact with the CPU, the channels that hold thermal paste have been removed (small gaps created between the CPU and the heatpipes because the heatpipes are nested too deep into the rest of the base). This ensures that improperly applied thermal paste doesn't excessively accumulate there, insulating rather than conducting heat.


The fan-retention mechanism has been modified to be more user-friendly. redesigned the entire heatsink array to be able to use our standard plastic snap on fan clips. While installing a fan now will require a screwdriver, the process will be more straight forward to end users and easier for them to understand. Brackets will now be included to mount two fans, although the company will include one Blademaster fan in the package. The new revisions are said to be available now, worldwide.
