100Mhz faster. And more than anything performs better than 2600k in almost all tests, even if it is small. 2700k is worth it, if you are looking best value for money it will be the i5 2550K
Well technically, yes. -.-
CM Hyper 212 is enough to handle a core i5/i7 2500k/2600k Oced at 4.5Ghz for 24*7 usages.

I was doing some research for a new CPU cooler for my upcoming AMD FX 6300 CPU and found this thread.
Right now I am using Cooler master Hyper TX3 with CM Blade master 92MM PWM fan on an AMD A6 3500 APU with 65W TDP. Load temperatures are under 38C while idle temperature is from 16C to 24C with fan running at 50% speed of 1500 RPM approx.
However, I am about to upgrade to an AMD FX 6300 CPU with 95W TDP and although my Hyper TX3 with 92mm fan can handle it easily, there are chances that my fan's RPM will need to be increased. It gets noisy over 2300 RPM which is something I don't like. I like silent PCs.
I checked Hyper 212 Evo and strongly recommend against it. While the heatsink is good, that fan is a clip-on fan. I had a similar fan on my CM hyper TX2 3 years ago and it broke. These clip-on fans are hard to find and if broken, you will either have to find a fan clip to install an after market 120mm fan or buy new heatsink + fan all together.
I find Hyper 212+ better because it gives very similar performance to Hyper 212 Evo but comes with a regular 120 MM PWM fan & fan clips. In case your fan breaks in future, you can just use a new 120 MM PWM fan and use existing clip which came bundled.
I do believe that Hyper 212+ is hard to find in the market now but if you can then you should sure go for it instead.

evo comes with an extra fan bracket in the box. have you not had a look in it?

Do you mean something like the one shown on this page.

Do these brackets allow you to install any 120 mm fan in case the pre-installed one breaks? If so then Hyper 212 Evo is a good deal.
How is Hyper T4? It is available in SMC International for ₹ 1.8k and can easily cool a CPU with over 150W TDP.

In that case, I am in the market to buy a new fan for AMD FX 6300. I saw Cooler Master Hyper T4 at ₹ 1.8k but don't know the maximum TDP it can support or should I go with Cooler Master Hyper 212X for ₹ 2.2k which has 180W TDP support so I can over clock upto 4 GHz on air too for sure.
Any idea if Hyper T4 will be enough? Benchmark suggest so but there isn't info I could dig out related to its TDP support.

yes, you can just connect any 90mm fan
hyper tx3 does not have a 120mm fan. Its small.
You can use a 120mm fan for the 212 though
T4 is good but for 400 bucks difference you better get a 212 Evo.

not a good idea to post your facebook page
you can make an instagram or flickr or imageshack album for the whole world to see.
and +1 to the above post
