Which CPU Cooler should I use between Corsair H60 & CM Hyper 212X Turbo (dual fan)?

[Triage]

This is my first post here after lurking for a long time so hopefully, I'm doing this right... but here's my situation: I have both of these CPU coolers already (can't return them) so money aside I was wondering which one would give me the best CPU temperatures for my I7-6700K? I also have on hand a spare Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition 120 mm fan that I can use with the H60 if necessary. I've seen a couple of posts/threads say that the CM Hyper 212 is better, but the reasoning behind it was partly due to the H60 being ~$20-30 more expensive. This is my current build (accumulated over the years): Triage's Build . Thanks!

I know this is alot more the price, but before deciding to buy those, think about buying a: kraken x62

OP Already has both coolers. 

Id go with the 212, they should perform about the same.The benefit of the h60 is just noise afaik

I'd go with H60

The H60 will be a bit better. Won't be the most amazing temps you could ever imagine but it'll do a better job. It may be louder at idle because of the pump.

 

And since you already own both coolers, why not test both and see which you like best

Thanks for the fast responses guys! Yeah, I think I'll test them both out. I might sub out the fan that the H60 came with to the Corsair Air Series one. I had the 212X in my old build, and the H60 was used on my gf's computer (which she isn't using anymore). I think I might also test using a push-pull configuration for the H60. I know it's ideal to have two fans of the same type, but would using 1x Corsair Air Series AF120 & 1x the H60 Stock Fan work or should I try using the two fans that came with the CM Hyper 212X Turbo instead (or any combination of those fans)? Thanks again

Actually those graphs are pretty awful to make true comparisons. The test systems are obviously different and there aren't any coolers to use as baseline.

both have received good reviews but It should be what you want like how quiet i would test both for like 1 week and see how each does then decide also really nice build.
