Which is better?

In the near furture I'll be in the market for a new system. I'm looking at the following for CPU cooling, Asetek 510LC liquid Cooler, CM V6 GT and ThermaTake FR10 OCK. Which would be the better choice for an AMD FX 8120 or FX 8320?

The Frio is a beats there is no doubt, but I would also consider the Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer. This is actually a little less expensive than the OCK and delivers great performance as well as makes it a ton easier to work with in the computer. This BTW is the choice for all the builds I do for myself and my family if building a gaming machine. This is an Asetek design cooler and comes stock with a PUSH/PULL fan configuration. Right now it is $60 on Newegg.

 

Now if you go pushing really hard, that means really cranking voltages to get the speed as high as possible then the OCK is the better choice. However if you are not going to crank down to hard on the voltages, or maybe not touch them at all then the Performer is a better value. As far as temperature differences in actual use, minor at best until the highest overclock range.
