Review on πŸ”₯ Vetroo V5 CPU Air Cooler: 5 Heat Pipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Intel LGA 1200 115X / AMD Ryzen AM4, Addressable RGB Lights (Black) by Justin Zilinskas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent value for money and quality.

Bought this CPU cooler on sale for $25. I have to say that I was surprised by the performance of this cooler. I have an AMD FX 8350 that I bought in 2012. I've had cases where my PC would shut down and freeze while playing games and have attributed some cases to my CPU overheating. Back then, I didn't want to upgrade my system because I wanted to wait for new AMD processors to come out. I have tried removing my old cooler and applying new thermal paste and have tried several thermal paste as well. None of these attempts to lower the CPU temperature helped. My CPU was often idle in temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius, and while gaming I reached 70+ degrees Celsius. I bought this cooler as a temporary measure before buying a new processor because I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new cooler as I was going to have to upgrade it soon. I was positively surprised. My computer is now idling at around 12 degrees Celsius and I've even seen it drop to 6 degrees Celsius. Since installing the Veetro V5, my computer has never shut down due to overheating, and the highest temperature I've seen while gaming was 53 degrees Celsius. I'm sure there are other coolers that can give me the same result, but at this price (even at $35) I can't recommend this cooler enough. Looking to extend the life of your system by upgrading your cooling system? Do yourself a favor and try the Veetro V5. I don't think you will be disappointed. I am not a paid reviewer and I do not get anything from posting this review. I have been building systems for over 20 years and have been quite impressed with the results I have seen from this product. The installation guide may not be the best, but I've been building systems for a while and this isn't a problem for me. I think they are sufficient.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Not as good as it says
