deciding between the Cryorig H7 and the Cryorig R1 Ultimate.
im probably going to run my i7 6700k at the boost clock 4.2 ghz (let me know if i should run it higher for gaming or if it wont make a difference)
which one should i get? I cant find any temperature comparisons anywhere.
Is the $40 price difference worth getting the R1 Ultimate? I know the R1 will run a lot cooler under load, but i have no idea how much cooler.
(note: im getting a define S case which will hold the R1 no problem on my msi z170a gaming m5 mobo, so space isnt an issue)
 
Solution
Just to be difficult, I vote for the H5 :)



I do not believe the H1 is worth the extra money unless overclocking is REALLY important to you, but it shouldn't be.

and i vote for watercooling for OC, especially when you got the space...(just to be more difficult :D)

and +1 for not worth extra money...

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Nate 10160 : "Which CPU Cooler should I buy?"

deciding between the Cryorig H7 and the Cryorig R1 Ultimate.
im probably going to run my i7 6700k at the boost clock 4.2 ghz (let me know if i should run it higher for gaming or if it wont make a difference)
which one should i get? I cant find any temperature comparisons anywhere.

(note: im getting a define S case which will hold the R1 no problem on my msi z170a gaming m5 mobo, so space isnt an issue)
If the R1 will keep my CPU a lot cooler than the H7 under heavy load, it seems worth it to buy doesnt it??
