hi all,
almost finished my first build and as i want to overclock im looking into two options for cooling either the CM Hyper 212 EVO or the CM seidon 120M, my CPU is an AMD FX-8320, thoughts on these two and any other budget suggestions?

AM3/AM3+ = same mounting holes.
It will be fine.
Use Google to make 100% sure.

Closed loop and high end air usually face off with neither beating the other more than a few degrees.
As for open loops it will be very expensive, risky unless you have experience and most people only use it for hardcore overclocking or epeen.
