Was looking at buying the Cooler master 212 evo for $32.99 but I noticed they have the NZXT T40 on sale for $14.99. Would it be a good deal to get the T40 for less than half of the CM 212 EVO?

Will be using it on my Q6600 (for now) but will be building a new PC down the road and would like to use T40/212 EVO in the future.
 
I gotta vote for the Hyper. I haven't used the Nzxt but I did own a Hyper and it even handled my 8150 up to 4.3 GHz which is quite an accomplishment considering how much heat this bitch puts out. For $30, I consider it the best cooler on the market dollar for dollar.
 
I am still leaning toward the EVO it has outstanding reviews, haven't found any real reviews of the T40 which kinda scares me away even at only $15. I might be better off to go with the Evo.
 
Yeah you should do the Hyper. Its proven and while I havent used the Nzxt, I would be shocked if it could outperform the Hyper. Since we're just talking $30 here, you should definitely go for it.
 
I've read reviews of the NZXT T40 and it has pretty poor cooling performance.
