Cryorig M9I vs Cryorig C7

[Mac070]

Basically what the description says. Wondering which one is better. The C7 Looks Nicer and is $5 More. It's going to be on the MSI Mortar B150M LGA 1151 Artic
Thanks!

C7. Because it looks cooler to you. *geddit*

Had they both cool decently with the I7 6700K at stock speeds on that MSI Motherboard?

The M9i because it as good at cooling as the CM212 for only $19.

I have a White Theme... I wouldn't the C7 perform better? It fits my theme and is $5 so it should perform better.

Actually its worse. The M9i is the diamond in the dust. The Cryorig H7 is only 5% better while the C7 is 16% worse.

The Cryorig H7 is the same price as the C7... Both are on sale for like 16 Hours. I just think that the H7 is kinda huge for the Micro ATX Board. This is all going to be going in the corsair air 240

I see the C7 is a niche product due to it fits in any case. The M9i is kind of big like the H7 but bit smaller with only 92mm fan. Here is the reviews on both.

I really need your help. I like the Corsair Air 240 and Corsair 400C. I currently own the Asus Strix 1070 and they Corsair Air 240 wont support that length. Neither the M9I or H7 Cooler. So this leaves me with the Corsair 400C White Edition. I need a new motherboard for this since mine is a cheap Gigabyte H110M-A Micro Atx Board. I want something that is ATX and doesn't throw off my theme. I was looking at this motherboard but the color of the heatsinks would bug me. Cant i just tape them off and spray them?

Paint would be an insulator and possibly cause the chipset to overheat. I advise against that and just get an MSI Krait that looks really great.

I mean i can't justify spending that much money right now. Is there any way to hid the colors of the heatsinks for the AsRock Motherboard?

 

[elbert]

Maybe white thick thermal grease would work. Something that will not run once heated. You will have to brush it on.

Well seems kinda ghetto. I have one last question. I have a working Gigabyte H110M-A Micro ATX Board. I was thinking about the Corsair Air 240 but im not really sure if my GPU would fit in it. I know the C7 would be great for this case and I really would just be paying for aesthetics for a new Micro ATX Board. But i really like the Corsair Air 240.... Would the Asus Strix 1070 fit in it? Ive seen the Gigabyte 1080 G1 fit in it.

And theres tons of space left if you remove the rads.

The Corsair Air 240 can hold a 290mm GPU and the Asus Strix 1070 is 298mm(29.8cm). So its less than a half inch to long. You need a card thats only 11.4 inchs long or shorter.

This one is white and will work with nearly 2 inchs left over.
