Which heatsink should I get for my AMD FX-8320?

[Smizack]

So I just built my first computer, and I'm getting a new heatsink (the one that I currently have is super loud and noisy.) I'm not the best at heatsinks, so I'm wondering which heatsink I should get:

CM Hyper 212 EVO - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m_re=Cooler_Master_EVO-_-35-103-099-_-Product

or

CM Hyper T4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103182

I'm guessing both of them are compatible since I have an AM3+ socket, and they both support it.

I'm leaning towards the Hyper 212 EVO, but according to the reviews, it's a huge heatsink. I'm afraid that it won't fit my case (my case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121120).

Anyways, which one should I get? If you need additional information, let me know!
Thanks in advance!

I don't think these forums are the best place to ask for computer advice, considering the average knowledge of how a computer works around here. But I'd say go with the 212 EVO, it's cheap and everyone I know who has one is very satisfied with it. As for your case, would you mind measuring from where the heat sync sits to the side panel? I'm pretty sure it should fit since it's a mid-tower case.

My friend has the Hyper T4. It makes no noise or anything, and it works perfect for overclocking.

I bet the water is very hot

About 6 inches.
I'm just scared that the EVO won't fit considering that it's huge compared to my stock cooler. You can take a look at some pictures I took to get a general idea of my computer:

From the looks of this I think it's around 4.2 inches tall, unless that other measurement is height and in that case it's ~6.2 inches tall.

Edit: also, dust out your computer, you can extend the life of your pats that way

Haha, totally forgot to clean out my computer, so thanks for reminding!

Anyways, what measurement are you looking at? I'm confused :\

I was looking of the uppermost one (they're in mm).

So you think it'll fit?

I think I'd need an exact measurement from the MoBo to the side panel just to be sure.

So like this?

I'm not 100%, but I'd say from where the CPU cool meets the CPU would be the safest bet, so from right here (pointing because I didn't want to shut my computer off)
