Cryorig H5 Universal: Review

We took one of the latest budget friendly Cryorig H5 Universal cooler and put it to the test.  Paired with our Intel i7-6700k at an overclock of 4.6GHz, how well can this single fan cooler keep up?

Cryorig H5 Universal: Unboxing

It's got style, but can it cool?  The new Cryorig H5 Universal fits most Intel and AMD CPU sockets made in the past 11 years and provides a unique style with excellent build quality.  We will test this against our i7-6700k overclocked to see how well it actually cools!
