Hi!

I am planning to replace the stock cooler for my 2600x as I am getting fairly high CPU Temps. I am planning to replace with a cooler master air fan.
I am wondering if there is any difference between the as I want the RGB aspect in my build but also care about cooling capability.

Hyper 212 Evo
(https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/hyper-212-evo/ )
and the
Hyper 212 RGB
(https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/hyper-212-rgb-black-edition/ )

Thank you.
 
The RGB is slightly smaller (very slightly) and the fan has a lower max CFM, which means lower noise but less overall air flow capability than the non RGB model.

The thing is that you could just get one and swap the fan out, at least the non RGB I know can be done that way, with a better RGB fan.
