I've got that 212 EVO, and like you said it's massive. But it cools like a beast. My 6600K doesn't go above 60 degrees Celcius under full load.
I doubt once you get a 212 EVO, you'd ever have to buy another one.
Hey Teechen!
Fair; my brother also had an old 212 Plus, and I'd definitely consider buying the new Evo. But here another option has appeared:
Cooler Master T2 Blizzard;
Have you heard about it? Is it a good option too?; 212 Evo seems way too expensive right now in Argentina :S
if you want to game, go water cooling or intel stock coolers are good enough to the cooling.

Thank you Thomas, but water cooling is not even an option since I do not know how to work with that kinda things, as well as they're way more expensive than a 212 Evo (the cheapest of them) and wouldn't be a good option. Using intel coolers is not recommended for this kind of proccessors either.
