Would this cpu and cooler be good together?

Hey guys,

I have a AMD FX-8120 cpu, and after much asking around, I think I have settled on buying the coolermaster hyper 212 evo cooler for it. However, I heard one guy say that this cooler could have trouble keeping up with my cpu because it can run very hot. Is this true, or will it be enough to play games quieter than with the stock fan as long as I don't overclock?

Also, if I wanted to add some LED awesomeness, would it be safe to add two of these fans and power them dynamically using this Y-connector? I'm just wanting to make sure that the wiring and such would be safe, as I'd hate to have the fans stop and fry my CPU :p

Thanks, I'm just wanting some final confirmation before purchasing :)
