In your area both coolers are priced similarly. Considering you want more overclocking capacity for your Ryzen 3 1200 in the CoolerMaster Masterbox Lite 5 Case, it would be useful to know which one performs better and if it fits your case. Also, with your RAM being the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) F4-3200C16D-8GVKB, you can check compatibility.

Similar performance expected from both models, but the Noctua offers much better and simpler mounting. The hyper212 includes an LED fan, which some users dislike due to its color clashing with other components. The Wraith fan on the Ryzen is sufficient for any overclocking attempt, while the Ryzens have seen significant upgrades in heatsink and fan options compared to earlier CPUs. Ultimately, the CPU and core voltage will likely limit performance more than cooling capacity, so it's wise to test before investing heavily.

Well, with the Wraith Stealth and 1.3v the highest stable OC I can get is 3.7Ghz~

Which aspects define the boundaries of most Ryzens in a realistic way? Some have managed to win the lottery and achieve 4.4GHz, yet it's unclear how many CPUs they had to endure to reach that performance. The CPU lottery is clear when it comes to maximum performance, but less so for everyday limits.
