For which one I should go for?

SilentiumPC Fera 2 for 16$ OR Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for 32$

They seems both perform same, EVO only little bit better? CPU: AMD FX 8350

And I'm not sure if i can overclock, becouse I have a basic MOBO Gigabyte 970 d3p.. But I think overclocking isn't worth..

I would look at the mounting hardware - how secure it is, and how easy/difficult it is to install. Fin spacing is a factor - wider spaces can mean less noise. What is the quality / speeds of the stock fan?

All else being equal, I like the design of the base of the SilentiumPC Fera 2 better.

The Silencium does suprisingly well in Techpowerup's test using an i7-4770K.

I don't know the SilentiumPC fan, but the EVO's one is rather mediocre, sound-wise, so that personally I'd swap it immediately.

Well, then - at half the price and probably better/quieter operation, I would go with the SilentiumPC Fera 2.
