The Hyper 212 EVO or the XIGMATEK Dark Knight II?
Oh yeah and depending on which cooler is the best (that you guys tell me)

Will it be good to use with (2) SP120's? I'm running a build here with SP120's in it, don't wanna switch it up.
PS. Will the SP120 be better than the stock fan that both coolers come with?

I'd go with the xigmatek one, is more expensive but more badass and think it performs better than the evo. And yeah the SP's are probably better/more quiet 

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

Of course and the Corsair SP120s are better than the reference fans. They are top! As far as the coolers go, I would recommend going with the Xigmatek Dark Knight 2.

did a review and said it beats the H80 and is close to the H100. Mind-blowing!

You will have around 20mm of clearance since the Xigmatek is 120mm tall while the CM Scout 2 supports to 147mm with a side fan and 162mm without one.

if this were a few months ago back when the dark knight was on sale for $30,yes $30 + a second xigmatek fan free,then yes,but right now I'd go for a phanteks .

or the hyper 212 evo

 

paying $50 for it to look badass is a waste of money in my opinion,especially when phanteks units already look badass and perform better.
