CONCLUSION

   Once again thanks to the charts it’s very easy to see that the cooling efficiency of the CRYORIG R5 is roughly on par with that of the NH-D15S by Noctua and that’s not a small feat. Of course, in order to match the performance of a dual-heatsink model the R5 needs two fans in push & pull which as you can also tell from the charts are quite a bit louder in comparison. This of course shouldn’t be an issue for most people especially those with high-end graphics cards but still it is what it is. Thanks to CRYORIG's patented MultiSeg quick mount system the R5 can also be installed in under 5 minutes so this too is something this particular CPU cooler does right. As for the two bundled plastic frames well I’m not much into white systems myself but if you happen to be then this could help (partially at least).

   Due to the current state of the market i was unable to find the R5 CPU Cooler by CRYORIG anywhere in the USA but it’s widely available in the EU for a price of roughly 70Euros meaning it’s more or less properly priced. Overall, the CRYORIG R5 may not be the highest performance CPU cooler out there but it does combine very good cooling efficiency with a smaller size (compared to other dual-fan models) and a very easy mounting system and for all of these it gets the Golden Award.
