Hello!
I realize that this might have been asked already, but I haven't been able to find a suitable answer.
I recently got my fx 6300 cpu ( motherboard - GIGA-BYTE AMD 760G/SB710 AM3+ mATX)
Case - Cooler Master Elite K350 Midi-tower

I am very very disappointing with the stock cooler, it is so LOUD, i actually have to use my headphones to play games and not hear the fan noise.
Note that I have my case right next to me on the table, max half a meter away from me.
Second note, I do not plan to overclock.


I would like to replace it and, judging by many reviews, good options would be
1) Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
2) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Judging by the reviews, 2nd option is more silent.
However, IF i understand correctly, 1st option has easier installation with some sort of a clip mechanism.

Which would you recommend me out of these two, NOT taking into account price difference (i can afford both, but I do not want to spend any excess amount of money too).
 
I'm installing my Hyper 212 EVO today, I'll let you know how complicated it is/isn't. :)

Either would probably be great. From tests I think the 212 runs slightly cooler.
