Out of those 2 I think the Enermax is better.
Since I'm in before any "hyper 212 people"
I'll tell you right now:both of those coolers are better than Hyper 212+


I think I will go with the SilenX EFZ-120HA5 then. Do you think it will be good enough to reach a ~ 4,5 ghz oc?

Depends on how lucky you get with the CPU. If you have to increase voltage to get to 4.5 then probably not. If you can get get without a voltage increase, the EVO is fine. I increased my 8320 to 4.2 (a 0.7GHz increase) without touching voltage or affecting temps, so it is entirely possible. You should go stronger to be safe though. The EVO is not an OC cooler. It is valued because it is cheap and effective.
