Conclusion:

The Cooler Master Hyper TX 2 is a decent heatsink but nothing amazing and unfortunately also isn't one of the cheapest out there at $25. That's not a high-end cooler but for a little more money you can get a lot more performance or for less you can get about equal from a near stock part. The best part is how easy it switches between Socket AM2 and Socket 775 without any need for changing the backplate or mounting brackets so it is easy to pop on and pop off. That said for the performance we'd like to see price dip closer to $20 or just under and it would be a much more formidable cooling solution. As it is it's a step up from stock cooling but you're more than likely not going to want to do a lot of overclocking with the Hyper TX 2 but if that's not your goal it's worth looking at.
