I'm currently deciding on a CPU cooler. I've heard many good reviews on the 212 because of its price-performance. Because I am dedicated to theme my build black/red, im very eh about it. The best black air cooler i could find was the be quiet Dark Rock Pro 3, but came in quite pricey for an air cooler and thought i may have some clearance issues. I then though about liquids, but haven't heard much about them and im not willing to spend over $100 for a cooler, despite my cpu will be a non-overclockable one.

Since you seem more interested in looks, go for the dark rock 3 (not pro). Should be quite a bit cheaper than the pro version and will go very well with your theme

Well, if you can find the DRP3 on sale like me, it'll be cheaper then the DR3, And its worth.
