I was looking at both coolers for a SGD$800.00 AMD build and I saw the night hawk was $20.00 cheaper then the hyper 212X (SGD$80.00), I asked the shopkeeper and what he said was "don't expect too much, it's just a modrate cooler"

 

I tend not to believe shopkeepers too much  so I'm hoping you guys can help with the review, I can't find any vid with any reviews that has it's perfomance data

 

I know how well the Hyper 212X is but I was thinking I could save some money if it performs just as well

It definitely performs better than the 212 (not ground breakingly better but still definitely better) it also looks WAYYYYYYYY FUCKING COOLER. Too some up my post, yes definitely get it over the 212.

The night hawk is specifically the black one, which is the only one I'm familiar with. The others may perform the same but they are definitely called something else.
