Review on πŸ”₯ Cryorig Ultimate Tower Heatsink: Unmatched Cooling Power for Intel CPUs by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best air cooler for the money

To be honest amazing cooler and extremely easy to install. Note for AM4 users: You can just use the stock cooler's backplate instead of buying it from Cryorig. Running the R5 2600 at 4.1GHz, I'm sitting in the 40-50 range in games (using a graphite IC pad instead of paste). Also, it's a lot easier to install outside the case, so remove the motherboard (unless you want to be stubborn). If you remove the center fan, assembly becomes even easier. Without headphones, my Evolv X is very quiet, I don't even notice its operation. And I've had a few compliments on how nice it looks once installed. Be sure to use the Cryorig compatibility seal to ensure you have free space in your storage. It fits the memory of the Ballistix Sport LT very closely, so many G.Skill Ripjaws and similar sized heatsinks will not fit.

Pros
  • CPU cooler
Cons
  • Some little things
