Will the Cryorig H7 fit in the Asus B150I Pro Gaming/Wifi/Aura?

ivanchchiu · Feb 22, 2017

Thinking of building a pc. Reason for not getting Z170 is because I am not really interested in overclocking. Also, will there be any other issues in my build (listed below) like bottlenecking? I am a gamer, photoshopper and video editor. Hows it sound?

My Build:
i5 6500
Asus B150I Pro gaming/WIFI/Aura
Cryorig H7
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8GB)
MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X
Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV Mini iTX Case
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold

The Cryorig H7 supports LGA115x sockets so there will be no problem mounting that with an Asus B150I. Here's what the CPU cooler looks like as installed in your MB:

175064.c46487a95b133221e5d1eb7fd3845c87.510ff363ca94ae9728b13d4a37b1a4ab.1600.jpg

As far as the CPU cooler's height is concerned, it will also fit in your Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX. The H7 is only 145mm tall while your chassis supports up to 200mm-high CPU coolers.

As far as bottlenecking is concerned, there won't be any issues with an i5-6500 + GTX 1060.

I'd highly recommend for you to get a better PSU though if the price is right. The NEXG series is a bit on the lower-tier (but not necessarily bad). You'd also be fine running that entire system on a 450W PSU, so no need for the 650W overkill.

Some suggestions on the PSU (get the most affordable and available):
Seasonic G-450 / G-550 / M12II-520 / S12G-450/550 / S12II-430/520 (note the S12 series are non-modular)
EVGA SuperNOVA 550W G3 / G2 / GS / GQ (avoid the G1)
XFX XTR 550W / TS Gold 550W (TS series is non-modular)

Alright Thanks! I'll definitely go for something less overkill for my PSU.
