New Value King?

Everyone knows about the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. An unbelievably great cooler for its price. However, I just recently heard about the Cryorig H7. I looked into it and it seems to be bulkier than the 212 EVO and it's basically the same price, give or take $0.5 USD. I've seen 3-4 people say that it's better, but then again, I haven't looked much into it. Thoughts? Could this replace the EVO as the king of value?

Would probably need better availability to knock the EVO off the budget throne.

It does perform better than the Hyper 212 Evo. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CRYORIG/H7_Universal/6.html

looks better, peforms better, has better mounting hardware, is shorter and has 100% RAM compatibiity.

Yeah that's another thing. The 212 EVO is great but it's a pain in the ass to mount and I have trouble with it and my G. Skill RAM.

I had issues with my dominator platinums as well.

I recently did bit of review+price comparison. While you can get coolers that are quite good cheaper than Evo, it still has something nice. The performance/noise ratio. There were coolers that were quieter and other that performed better. But where they won Evo, they lost in other stuff. Except price since both were up to 15e cheaper.
