DeepCool GAMMAXX400 VS CoolerMaster HYPER212 (X/Plus/Evo)

[Viraat]

Hey Guys, 

 

I recently bought a Deepcool Gammaxx 400 CPU Cooler but I now want to get a Hyper 212 (X/Plus/Evo)

 

So I know that the Hyper 212 is better but in my region it is more expensive. I want to know which one of the Hyper 212 Coolers is the best also compared with the Gammaxx 400. But I also want to know how much better. 

 

I paid $32 for the Gammaxx 400

 

the hyper 212x costs $59

 

the hyper 212 Evo costs $49

 

So should I stick with the Gammaxx 400 or get the Evo or the 212X

 

thanks, Viraat

the gammaxx 400 is only a few degrees higher than the hyper 212, not worth spending the extra money.

Tomshardware did a benchmark and found that the 400 beats the 212 in performance (and, obviously, price). My own anecdotal experimentation backs that up. The Gammaxx 400 is my top choice for entry level coolers right now.
