after seeing this guide:

And the 6-heatpipe version, Hyper 612 for $25 (from 3rd party seller "used - like new" fulfilled by Amazon):

How would 212 compare to Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro? I still haven't got 2 coolers for my SM 846 chassis build with 2x L5630.

no idea for real world comparison. but just from the design, the Arctic F7Pro looks like a 3-heatpipe design, although they say "6". The 212 is a 4-pipe and the 612 is a 6 pipe design, or 8 and 12 if you go by Arctic's way of describing it. Also, the CM version is suppose to be direct contact between CPU and heatpipe - supposedly improves heat transfer efficiency but i haven't seen any data to prove it. So, by design specification, it would seem both of those CM coolers are better.

However, real world comparison and how much that design difference makes is unknown.
