You where right about price, I was thinking 212 was 60.
Here is something I found in 2 seconds.

Almost every review and forum post I read about the H60 said that the 212 Evo was much better. Surprisingly, I found out that the old H60 (the one with plastic tubing) was much more efficient. I think this has to do with the fact that I have 2x GPU's producing heat in my system. I'm guessing that most of the reviewer's rigs did not have a GPU or even a case.
Before installing the H60, I recorded some temps of my system under load. My room is 21c or around 71f. These were the maximum temps
GPU 0 - 70C
CPU 0 - 78C
CPU 1 - 75C
CPU 2 - 75C
CPU 3 - 70C
My CPU is an Intel i7 3770k overclocked to 4.5 GHz. It also downclocks to 1.9 GHz. In order to install the H60, I had to remove one of the top case fans on the Zalman Z9+ to make the radiator fit on the rear exhaust fan mount. The H60, like the 212, has two fans in push-pull. Also, I only recorded the temps of the #0 GPU. These are the max readings with an H60:
GPU 0 - 66C
CPU 0 - 68C
CPU 1 - 66C
CPU 2 - 68C
CPU 3 - 63C
As you can see, the H60 keeps the maximum temps of both the CPU and GPU much lower than when the Hyper 212 Evo was installed. I hypothesize that this is due to the 212 absorbing some of the heat that the twin GTX 660's were emitting just inches away. I also think that the extra space where the 212 once was allows the air to circulate much better inside the case.

Obviously different setups are going to change variables, such as GPU's, case setup etc.
