Hyper 212 Evo or Hyper 212 X?

[BreadAlert]

Looking for a good cooler for my radical pentium g3258, and the hyper 212x seems like a worthy candidate. Though on Newegg, it's $10 more than the evo, and from what I've heard the evo is good enough. So does the x's performance justify the 10$ price increase?

A 212 Evo should be more than enough for a Pentium.

Not really it's is only like 2-3c cooler you would probably get the same temps by just using half of that money and buying aftermarket thermal paste I would personally get the cryorig h7 but the 212 non x will be fine for moderately overclocking a g3258.

you are paying extra dollar for a box that has a cewl looking X on it

I don't think the performance difference is worth another 10 bucks. I have a 212 evo and it's a fantastic cooler for the money

Is the stock cooler not enough?

The stock cooler should be enough for a good oc. Many people get 4.4ghz+ with it.

If you can save $10 and get approximately the same performance, do it.

Also, the cooler is a little over kill, but it is only $25
