As for cooling, I'm using the 212+ on my Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.9 GHz and it barely touches 60 C.
Case and point, I highly recommend the 212+
Oddly, the 212+ is even better than the Evo

Really, by how much? I'm currently running my 212+ which is 2 years old with AS5 and 2 Medium Speed Yate Loons. It's dead quiet and cools nicely.
Only thing is the 155 mm height of the cooler.
If you have a 120 mm exhaust fan on the back beside your I/O panel, you should be able to fir it no problem.
If you only have a 92 mm exhaust fan though, you'll run into the problem I did on my In-Win Griffin Case, the fin all fit withing the case, but I had to cut 8 holes for the ends of the heat-pipes.
