Personally, I'd recommend the Gelid Tranquillo Rev 2 if you can find it in your country. It's much better than the 212+/EVO, and can get you up to 5GHz if you've got decent/good airflow.
It's also smaller than the EVO or Macho.
Ahh, thanks for the advice, sorry, I went ahead and ordered the Thermalright HR-02 Macho It will be here tomorrow.
