I am wanting to be able to overclock my FX 8120 CPU to around 4.0-4.4GHz and I just wanted some quick advice on which cooler I should get.

Should I get the Hyper 212 EVO or the Cooler Master V6 GT?

Which of these is more capable of running that overclock for the FX-8120?



Thanks for any help!

Also, there is a wonderful program to test the stability of your overclock. Maybe similar to other benchmarks but a bit more rigorous and long term. Also, you can help society by using it. By running it, you contribute to research to find the cure to cancer, Alzheimer, etc.

It is called Folding@Home. Check out the intro page below.
