Why are you spending more for the fan than for the hyper 212 evo? You could get a better CPU cooler...

Probably better than the SP120, but it's quite ugly and would only cool better up to 2 degrees

If I get it, how am I supposed to attach it to the heat sink?

212 Evo has special mounting hardware that allows you to add any 120mm fan to the heatsink
