212x has better fans and is an upgraded version of 212 evo. It's not that popular because evo is more value for money, but 212x is better overall.

Is 212X suitable for Fx 8320??

Yes it is. You can make it work on both intel and AMD cpus, all you have to do is to install suitable stands for amd and intel on your motherboard.
