i have MSI Z97 Gaming 3 with Intel Core i3-4150 inside Cooler Master N400 case .
im planning to upgrade to i5-4690k .
actually H5 ultimate will blocking my ram slot but it have black cover that fit my theme so i can put the XF140 that come with H5 ultimate at back of the fin and put the new XT140 at front .
i choose Water 3.0 Perf because it is the cheapest one and looks like have a good performance but it have white fan :( .
the price between Cryorig H5 Ultimate vs Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer are almost the same, so which should i buy ?

This cooler also has a white fan blade and also can have the fan adjusted either upward or shifted to the rear for memory module clearance.

Now before you turn your nose up at it, since you are going for an i5-4690K which you probably intend on overclocking, the link below is to the Thermalright website so you can see the specs for the cooler, please note the top listed special feature, it's 360 watt Thermal Design Power load handling capability.

As far as the Thermaltake watercooler you linked, I totally agree with rubix_1011, and I guarantee you the Thermalright air cooler I linked to you will outperform it.

The Cryorig H5 Ultimate air cooler you asked about is only a 180 watt TDP cooler.

Edit: I am probably wasting my time attempting to explain this to you but here goes, the Thermalright coorporation makes some of the highest quality heat pipe air coolers there are.

The True Spirit 140 is an advanced designed of the original Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, (or Thermalright TRUE as it got nicknamed), it was introduced as the first passive cooler that ever was marketed.

Why is that important?

A passive cooler can actually cool to a certain extent without a fan mounted to it, just case airflow.

A passive coolers cooling performance is increased by adding a fan to it, as the link shows it comes with one cooling fan.

Because a passive cooler will benefit by adding an additional fan which will increase it's cooling performance, or you can go even further by replacing the stock fans with 2 higher speed CFM cooling fans for even better cooling performance.
