Definitely go with the 212. It's definitely the best cooler in that price range and you can get a little overclock. It might not look like it's that great of a cooler but trust me, it is

For £30 I'd suggest this, [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Hyper Evo 212 hasn't been good value for some time now, it's been outdone by a lot of coolers in the same price range.

thanks for the replys,it dont have to be exactly 20 pound a can go an extra tenner if i have to,i just used 30 as thats what the 212 is,is it worth paying extra for anything or should i just get the pure rock,i just want to keep cpu as cool as possible without spending about 80-100,i can do that when i learn how to o/c

The pure rock would be a solid choice, you don't need to spend more unless you want to increase overclocking headroom.

The 212X isn't worth the premium over a 212 EVO, and the 212 EVO isn't worth it at all.

If you're just wanting a cheap cooler, that'll do the job fine.

I'd get this instead of the Pure Rock though;

Slightly more expensive, but it's a beefier cooler so you'll be able to OC a little better/more comfortably.

The Pure Rock is a great cooler though, still a much better choice than a 212 EVO/212X.
