The thing is, the cooler master 212 evo performs so well for the money it has pretty much become the only choice in air cooling. You either get an hyper 212 evo or spend the extra and get a entry lvl or better AIO liquid cooling system. The only other choice is the Noctua for those who want performance, silence and the reliability in a air cooler.
Wow, I would hate to come across your dog...
