Use the fans from your 212 and put it on the new cooler. A predone liquid cooling system will help keep the temperature done better the a normal air cooler would though they're fairly similar.

Not a very pressure optimized fan is it?

I have the same problem I saw a review and tbh for the price difference I don't think its worth it unless for looks

 I'm still curious about the sound level of that thing.

unless its got a bad pump the H80i is usually quiet although for the best noise levels get some other fans the stock ones hold it back noise wise over other fans 

I have some Corsair SP 120mm quiet edition laying around, I guess they are good for this?

Stick with your 212 and then when you can afford a H100i/X60 get that

I would never spend that much on a cooler, that's why I'm asking if I should take the H80i CUZ FREE AND STUFF. ^^

The AIO no contest.

Looks like it's going to be the H80i, thanks guys!

Really appreciate the help. :)

Do replace the stock fan... It's not that quiet. 

Depends on your tolerance for noise though.
