The sound performance is not quite as hoped, but it’s still reasonable. It’s just behind the R1 Ultimate and well behind the H5 Ultimate, which is the expected result. It is ahead of the CPU coolers that it was around in the temperature chart, this is better news meaning the H5 Universal has some headroom for a better fan profile than the stock Asus Extreme V offering.
Remember, this was on a very hot day, with the room ambient of around 25 Degrees C, a couple above our usual ambient room temperature of 22/23 Degrees C. This will always have a cascade impact in temperatures as the air used to move heat from the heatsink, is already carrying some extra temperature.

The Cryorig H5 Ultimate CPU cooler scored well, but you would have been compromised on some RAM choices. It is not the end of the world, but if you are a system builder, or have already bought your RAM, you will know it is important. The XT140 fan compromises the H5, but that was the plan. With a good custom fan profile, the Cryorig H5 Universal would stand up to the Cryorig H5 Ultimate, and only fall short in certain circumstances, but not by much.
