I'm planning on getting a new cooler and I'm deciding between the Hyper 212x and the Seidon 120v. I would like to know the performance of these and if the Seidon is safe, because I've read some reviews of closed-loop water coolers, and I've gotten pretty scared of them..
So which one should I get?
 
Solution
Lets get something you need. Them two aren't even in the same class.
Please list your systems specs with make and model#'s. Case, CPU, & GPU should be good enough. Any will anything be overclocked.

Here's my pc http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tvczKZ
(As you can tell I'm on a tight budget, but I can afford both coolers)

I'm not going to be overclocking anything (msotly because I'm afraid that will decrease my cpu's lifespan), but I'm doing video encoding & Cinema 4D rendering and stuff like that and I don't like the temps I'm seeing (Max I've seen is 79C).
While gaming, the cpu goes as far as 74C which I don't like either.

I do realize that the two aren't in the same class, but I want something reliable that wont fail on me, will last me for at least 3 years and keep my cpu below 70C.
