Cryorig H7 is better than the 212 EVO and about the same price, take a look at it.

Oh, and 390>970

if you're asking for performance per dollar then why are there only 2 graphics cards in that list? Motherboards and coolers don't really add performance unless you are talking about overclockablility

i7-4790k | MSI Z97 GAMING-5 | Corsair Vengeance 16 GB | Samsung EVO-850 250GB SSD & WD blue 1 TB HDD | EVGA 1070 SC | Red NZXT H440 | Cooler Master G650W

which is why the cheaper option is better performance per dollar

Sapphire Nitro and MSI are the two brands with the best coolers. As far as which one you wanna pick, I know that one of them has better customer support, but I don't know which one.

Sorry I was at school. What railgun said, plus the fact that the sapphire coolers are stunning.

Could you tell me what about the gaming 5 is better? Despite the poll results it hasn't made the decisioni between the two boards any easier.

 

Also the noctua cooler does look like a great option. Would it really be better than the watercooler?

 

thanks for making this harder :D

the noctua nh-d14 and nh-d15 are consider better than many 120mm AIO, especially this one.

gaming 5 has 8 power phases while the Krait has a 6 phase system, so the gaming 5 can overclock better-safer, and it has better quality components

gaming 5 has killer ethernet lan while the krait has realtek, also the gaming 5 has better audio

Im really leaning towards the noctua now. I wonder if it would have problems with this ram:

i dont mind spending the extra 40 bucks on a motherboard in a system thats going to cost $2000 for better reliability and quality. Especially when future overclocking in my build is desired. So thats why its confusing most people would choose the krait.

I checked the website it does indeed fit. I also googled Noctua NH-D14 vs AIO and was really surprised by the results. I think i know what im getting now thanks for the suggestion!

 

Funny enough the AIO actually blue screened right at the 4 minute mark in the video. Linus' silence when this happens is hilarious
