I would pick the Cryorig H7.
Most coolers with 120mm fans will cool about the same.
Reviews I have seen shows the H7 to be quite good.
One big benefit of the H7 is that it is not tall, only 145mm. The hyper212 is the typical 160mm tall.

FWIW, my experience with my i5-6600K is that it does not need top cooling to oc well.
I was testing with a noctua NH-L12 downdraft cooler which works well. I opted to not install a huge noctua NH-D14.
