To match this I got you the Noctua D15. You will not find better cooling at lower noise unless you build your own. Noctua are hands down the best cooler manufacturers with great support to boot.

Thermalrights? Be Quiet?  i would say Thermalrights Silver Arrow IB-E beats the D15, is cheaper, and you can use normal ram

i7 5820 is LGA2011 socket, you picked LGA1151 motherboard.

I would probably take Gigabyte's 980Ti over MSI (though, MSI's is good as well) and Seasonic or Antec PSU...also, treat yourself with Fractal Design case.

To be specific, a LGA2011v3, and won't work in older LGA2011 boards like the Rampage IV extreme / black edition.

To put it another way to the OP

Any board you are considering, check out the CPU support list for, and if support for your CPU was added in a recent bios update and not supported from stock, save yourself the headache and email the company youre buying from and request that they update the bios prior to shipping.

if your cpu isnt specifically listed, find something else.

But have you seen Noctua coolers?

Not saying that there aren't some coolers that are maybe a bit cooler or quieter but the DH15 is the best package overall. Great cooling, low fan noise, great and easy installation, great support, overall great worksmanship.

This is the first test I could find. http://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/henry-butt/thermalright-silver-arrow-ib-e-cpu-cooler-review/6/

Do you have a test where the Silver Arrow beats the D15?

not in english... the arrow beats the d15 if you go higher in powerintake

Yet they still come to the conclusion that Noctua is better overall.

But anyway, no matter the slight differences, everything's better than AIO water cooling.

I still think the 5820 and the water cooling is a bad idea. It's more expensive, louder and less powerful than a 6700k + air cooling combo would be.

So I changed the 3 components.

The 6700K is sufficient and in fact faster than the 5820k. Those 2 extra cores on the 2011 CPU will do you no good in games.

I picked the ASUS MB because it's the cheapest of the line. There are no performance differences between them. Also I like ASUS MBs. You should only pick a more expensive one if you have specific demands for slots/connectors.

To match this I got you the Noctua D15. You will not find better cooling at lower noise unless you build your own. Noctua are hands down the best cooler manufacturers with great support to boot.


thanks for the tips. I went ahead with your recommendation I added 3 Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 to the mix.

+1 for Noctua...quiet, cool, reliable and reasonably priced.
