Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

Is the cryorig M9i good for i5 6600k and a small OC?

if not please do tell me a better one..

my budget for my build is $750-800

thanks for reading

Sure, but a 212 Evo might give you slightly more performance and a Cryorig H7 will be a really nice choice if you can afford/fit it.

Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

the 212 evo is more expensive and the M9i is on sale i may just do the m9i

ryguybuddy :

how much better would an evo be?

ryguybuddy · Oct 1, 2016

Joshua_81 :

Around 5 to 10 percent.

ryguybuddy :

i think ill just get the non K version...

as any cooler goes over budget

Ecky · Oct 1, 2016

If you get the non-K CPU you can save some cash with a cheaper motherboard too, in addition to just using the stock cooler.

and the h7 is better than the 212 again

what mobo do u reccomend for 16 gb ddr4 2400 and i5 6600?

ryguybuddy · Oct 1, 2016

Joshua_81 :

B150 Bazooka.

Ecky · Oct 1, 2016

The Bazooka is about $40 more expensive than my recommendation, which has similar connectivity and will perform the same:

Ecky :

Thats the one i wanted in the first place ... in taking Ecky's advice

Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

im not in

Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

Ecky :

will this one support 16 GB 2400 DDR4?

Ecky · Oct 1, 2016

No B150 board supports DDR4 2400, you need the Z170 chipset for that. However, you can use DDR4 2400 chips, they'll just run at 2133mhz, which will have a negligible impact on performance.

Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

Ecky :

what z170 board do u recommend for a similar price?

Joshua_81 · Oct 1, 2016

ill just get 2133 memory

Ecky · Oct 1, 2016

Z170 boards are much more expensive. B150 start at ~$60, while Z170 start at ~$100.

get the 6600K, don't miss the chance of having a nice unlocked CPU. you can always save $30 and get the Cryorig H7 later. just be conservative with your clock speeds while you save $30!!!!!

Cryorig M9i good for 6600k small OC?
