Hyper 212 EVO or V6 GT for FX 8120 overclocking?

[bingaloman]

I am wanting to be able to overclock my FX 8120 CPU to around 4.0-4.4GHz and I just wanted some quick advice on which cooler I should get.

Should I get the Hyper 212 EVO or the Cooler Master V6 GT?

Which of these is more capable of running that overclock for the FX-8120?



Thanks for any help!

Best bang for the buck is the EVO.

I understand that part but is it capable of running an AMD FX-8120 at around 4.0 - 4.4GHz?

Can't predict that every chip is different , 4.0 would be good.

Also, there is a wonderful program to test the stability of your overclock. Maybe similar to other benchmarks but a bit more rigorous and long term. Also, you can help society by using it. By running it, you contribute to research to find the cure to cancer, Alzheimer, etc.
