I've been searching all over the internet but there isn't a single reviewer that compared these two coolers side by side.

In my country, 612 v2 costs just 7-8 dollars higher than 212 Evo.

The obvious difference between the two is that 212 Evo has 4 heatpipes and 612 v2 has 6 heatpipes and a much larger heatsink. But I don't know how that translates into actual, real-world performance.

I will be using it with an i5 4670k at mild OC. My case is large enough to support either of these coolers.

What do you guys recommend?

PS: Please don't recommend other models because the pricing and availability varies a lot between countries.
