Which cooler is better?

I have an AMD fx 8350. I am mostly concerned with temperature at the moment, but might overclock my cpu a little bit. The CM 120 costs only about $15 more than the Hyper 212x turbo.

I should also point out that my cpu is on a rolling case and gets moved sometimes since I use my LED TV in my room to play games. I am not sure how much that plays into affect with a cooler.

Also, I would like to know if the Hyper 212x turbo will fit in my Asus M5A99X motherboard with Kingston Hyper X Ram.

The liquid cooler may give you marginally better cooling, but I'm pretty sure either would work.

If you have RAM with the large cooling fins, you probably won't be able to use the slot closest to the CPU. Low profile RAM would have no problem.

Which is better? Look around for some comparison reviews.

I have been looking for some reviews, but there is not many on the 120v and 212x. I think the 212x is a new product from cooler master. I read lots of reviews of the 212 evo and many people are pleased with it. The 212x turbo is about 3 dollars more than the 212 evo, plus it comes with an extra fan. However, the box on the 212x turbo is much larger than the 212 evo.

I cannot find a lot of reviews of the CM 120v other than customer reports on newegg.com. I found some on the cm 120m, but the unit looks different than the 120v.

I have the 212 PLUS, and am very pleased with it.
