Cryorig's H5 CPU Cooler is Highly-Compatible and Well-Priced

By - Source: Tom's Hardware US | B 13 comments

Cryorig's new H5 CPU cooler will be available soon, and it's priced quite well.

When we first saw the Cryorig H5 CPU cooler back at Computex, it looked like it hit most of the characteristics of a good cooler: It won’t get in the way of tall memory sticks or PCI-Express devices (on most motherboards), the height of 160 mm will fit in most cases, and it simply looks good. It certainly isn’t built to be the best cooler out there, but it is designed to be universally compatible and affordable.

Now, Cryorig is officially launching the product, and it will be coming to shelves soon. The H5 is built with a single-tower design, and comes with an XT140 140 mm slim fan with PWM support. There are also four 6 mm heat pipes as well as Cryorig’s patented Hive Fin design, which we also saw in the company’s flagship R1 CPU cooler.

"Besides innovative optimizations, we truly want the H series to be a cost effect solution. We want to bring the premium build quality and detailed designs of our higher-end product lines to the mainstream user,“ said Alex W. Co-Founder of Cryorig.

Pricing is attractive, too; at $46.99 you’ll get a lot of value for your money, along with a six-year warranty.

    If you end up benchmarking this, pleeeease include a standard venerable TRUE
    so that we have a familiar baseline.

    140mm fan, this thing will be quiet if nothing else.

    Even if the fan is 140mm, the fact that it is a slim fan will impact noise/performance ratio. I would have really enjoyed this having a 25/30mm fan or something. I really need a cooler that stands between price/performance and wieght wise between Hyper 212 Evo and the high end Phanteks PH-TC14(no Noctua, too ugly and too expensive)/Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 (or 3 series for that matter).

    140mm fan support, tall memory compatibility, Intel & AMD sockets, 47 bucks.
    Summary: AMAZING

    If it gets 3-4 C less than the 212 Evo at the same or lower noise - I am sold out. Waiting for benches.

    I have the R1 Ultimate BIG AIR cooler and I can tell you they make great coolers.

    Does your motherboard flex because of it?

    Waiting to see comparisons to the 212 EVO. I just bought the EVO and am overall happy, but the fan rattles like a baby toy at anything over idle because it hangs upside down and it blocks a RAM slot unless I use RAM with no heat spreader...Though being able to add a second fan to this cooler has been great!

    Better than the EVO.

    I was looking at this and it looks like its designed to blow the air out the back, rather than the top. Is this accurate? If so, it would solve the rattle problem of the Evo!
