I already placed an order for CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus at NCIX which ran a special discount and snagged it for CAD $22.59(with tax)

But then I see this Zalman cooler with a discount - CAD $ 33.89(with tax) with MIR from 69.99 CAD and I am getting a buyer's remorse

So, is it worth returning the Hyper 212 and getting the Zalman?

Or are there other coolers that have good performance and price?

I have a Corsair 600t case, Q9300/Asus P5n-e SLI and was looking for a stable cooler with good temp control

Cost 50% more but doesn't provide 50% more performance. In fact, might perform lower. But it looks snazzy!

Hyper 212 performs better, doesnt look as cool. Now you know, so decide for yourself.
