Thanks. I think Ill go with the H7 because its cheaper but still reliable and a good cooler for what I'm using my pc for. Also, for $14 more dollars its only 2dB quieter which is nothing. Do you agree?

The H7 is indeed cheaper but it's louder, heavier, moves less air & is compatible with fewer sockets. I'd go with the H5 because of it's better over all specs & flexibility on a wider range of Intel CPU's.

On the bottom line, I think I should buy the Cryorig H7 because I have a flight sim which is CPU intensive.

Either would be fine with your cpu pinned at 100%. It's just a different matter when raising voltage for oc'ing.

I checked on the cryorig website and saw that the H7 wasn't heavier. 2dB is nothing and I will probably be usig headphones so I won't notice it. It might be compatible with fewer socket sbut it is compatible with the socket that I am using. How does it move less air?

Im sorry I dont understand what you mean when you say raising voltage for overclocking. Could you please explain it to me.

Higher clocks will often require more voltage to maintain stability and higher voltage can result in more heat.

Oh, well I guess Newegg is wrong again then on the product specs. Go with the H7 as it likely is better, whoever edited the info at Newegg must of got them confused or something. Logically the next gen of something is always a slight improvement over the previous, H7 being the newest & H5 oldest.

I don't think I will be doing much overclocking so it will stay cool. Thanks for the explanation

Cool. Thanks. I'm ready to build. I am ordering a Phantek Eclipse P400 as my case. Would that cooler fit inside there?

This was on the cryorig website.

No, the H7 is not better. The H5 is the bigger brother and the better cooler in all aspects besides being larger and not fitting in as many cases. 

 

@Riles4365 No need to make several threads on the same discussion. They have been merged.

Well according to Newegg the height of the H7 is 145mm, that case's maximum acceptable CPU cooler height is 160mm. So yes it will fit providing Newegg didn't goof again.

I dont need an H5 because I wont really be overclocking so is the H7 a good option?

[Mike Soda]

So this Newegg compare I linked earlier was right then: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=-1|9SIA4UF2DZ6565^9SIA4UF2DZ6565%2C9SIA4UF30R0134^9SIA4UF30R0134

Both are good coolers, the H5 is just better but if you'd rather not pay that much the H7 will be fine for you.

Yes, the H7 is a good option. If you're not doing any substantial oc'ing, any of the mentioned coolers will work fine.
