The 212X is new and I haven't seen a comparison yet. Personally I would get the 212 Evo over the 212+ its a better cooler and not that much more money. The 212X is just too expensive for what your getting a little more money and you can get a Noctua.

HOWEVER depending on where you are located the cost of the 212X is almost the same as the 212 Evo, in that case get the 212X

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

They're each the successors to the one before it but virtually nothing was changed, get whichever is cheaper.

212evo doesnt even exist in my country anymore xD

i got my 212x for 56SGD (44.80 USD)

And it was on sale too! Usual price is 69SGD (55.20USD)

I already have them! I just wanna know the difference

The fan is the main difference, pretty sure there are some very small tweaks between them too.
