Yes it's a reliable cooler, very popular.

And if you put an extra fan, to make it push/pull it will absolutely rock

I have 2 of them myself, and have put them on a few friends' computers, they're great.

It's the same, but it's not RGB, it's red led

Answer to both is no. There are much better value coolers. LED is upgraded version of EVO. The next gen one is Black Edition, followed by RGB.

212 Black Edition

212 Black Edition RGB

 

These are both better than 212 Evo. Though, there are also coolers from other manufacturers which are better value. Artich eSports 33 and 34 for example.

The Hyper 212 LED is actually an older design based off of the Plus and is slightly worse than the Evo. 

 

@JoshuaProGamer What cpu, ram, and case are you using? 

What features are you looking for in a cooler?

The Hyper 212 Evo / LED are generally a worse value when alternatives like the slightly better Gammaxx 400 are often cheaper: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hJFPxr/deepcool-cpu-cooler-gammaxx400

Really? So its Plus -> LED -> Evo -> X -> BE -> RGB? With two last ones only having different fans.

Yep. You can see the older heatsink design in the LED similar to the Plus with the gaps between heatpipes.
