So I have 600 bucks to spend. I will be buying a second Gtx670 for SLI. I can afford an h100i with replacement fans also but if I just bought a CM 212 EVO I could also afford Another ssd or more ram

 

CM 212 EVO - SSD or Ram? - NZXT Hue - Gtx 670

 

H100i w/ new fans - NZXT HUE - Gtx 670

 

My problem in deciding is that the h100i looks sexy while the EVO does not. If anyone has either and would like to tell me how it worked for them or reccomend a cooler around the same price of the EVO that also looks good, that would be great :D

Does your CPU actually get hot? Or do you just want a new CPU cooler to say that you do?

Well I mostly want a Decent (not outrageous) but pretty good OC. My problem is that the h100i looks awesome but the CM EVO is kinda meh because it will be right next to the glass on an r4

Get a NHD-14. In my opinion, if you load that thing with fans, it looks pretty baller :D

EVO is really the best bang for your buck. I wouldn't go for anything else in the same price range.

Well I might as well get an h100i with 2 noctua nf-f12s and my gtx 670

Phanteks U type and NZXT Havik are both very good, but do cost a bit more.

shadow rock might be cheap too but idk about clearance on that.

Im probably just going with the h100i
