With Cryorig C7 you have to be sure your motherboard has capacitors from CPU power section installed far away from the CPU socket. There is a big risk, that radiator will lay on the top of those capacitors instead of the top of CPU.
what do you mean by this? can you give a specific example. I have the Gigabyte Z170N Gaming 5
Thanks! So what cooler have y'all had the best results with? My motherboard has the CPU capacitor things on all sides, but i have been using the cryorig in my current build and it seems to keep my temps fine. I can always splurge on another cooler, any suggestions?I have this motherboard and it has capacitors in both directions next to the CPU socket.

We are not so sure that You can get a lot of motherboards not having this possible issue:
The area marked by red tint touches the motherboard in this orientation and When mounting you simply cannot be sure whether the screws are properly tightened or not in this orientation.
What is more, Skylake is a lower CPU than for example Haswell or previous 115x CPUs. This is why we strongly recommend to check what kind of motherboard you have before ordering a Cryorig C7.
Next week we will get 3 coolers for benchmarks. Then we will make a comparison of 95W BOX cooler, Cryorig C7, Zalman CNPS2X, Scythe Kozuti i Noctua LH-N9i. We will be using i7-6700 Non-K for our benchmarks.
It took us so long to make it, mostly because we had to learn how to do it right by ourselves. If someone is curious how the movie set looked like, here is a photo of it:
We'll see... we're guys who always want to do better and better, and in this situation it won't save a lot money. Next time maybe we will need better lens, powered sliders, powered focus, some gimbals, maybe even better camera, etc., etc. At this point we are glad we made such video for the 1/6 - 1/12 of the cost, compared to the offers we received from photo/movie-product industry. But as you said, the skill stays, and we just have to improve it.
