I see most pumping the 212.


That's because it's mostly the "cool" thing to tell people when they're buying cheap air coolers. Its still not worth a damn when you try to do any extensive over clocking

The 212 has just been the clear best bang for buck for a long time. It's the go-to cooler for when you want a cheap, easy mild overclock. I built quite a few 3770K rigs for people back in the day with a hyper 212+, and I generally got a safe 4.2-4.4Ghz depending on the rest of the setup and case. But on a 4770K, 4.0-4.1 is about all you can/should do.

Admittedly I don't follow air cooling products too closely so my knowledge is limited as far as what's popular and best performance/dollar nowadays.
