Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Raijintek Themis EVO is yet another cooler from Raijintek that offers great bang for the buck. Cooling performance is good, noise level is ok, manufacturing quality is also good and as we already mentioned the price is highly competitive. Unfortunately there is a distinct noise coming from the bundled fan's bearing, which is well audible when the fan blades are rotating a low rpm. Therefore we would love to see a fan that is of higher quality. |

| Installation | + | - | |
| Mounting is quite easy and practical , the Raijintek anti-vibration rubber fan mounts do their job well and fans are also easy to mount. If you wish there are enough fan mounts to realize a push-pull configuration. The mounting mechanism is solid and the thermal compound, that comes in a small plastic bag, does is job reasonably well. |
- Easy and practical
- Compatible withj all Intel and AMD Sockets |

| Performance | + | - | |
| The cooling performance of the Rainjintek Themis EVO is definitely good. It does a way better job than most, if not all, cheaper coolers and to make things worse, for competition at least, it even does a better job than some more expensive and even high-end coolers. | - Cooling performances | ||
| Noise Levels | + | - | |
| Overall noise level, that is something Raijintek could work on if there is going to be a next revision of this cooler. When the bundled fan is running at low rpm there is a distinct bearing noise, that is rather well audible. At full blast, noise levels are ok compared to the competition, but for people who demand a silent cooler 40.1 dBA is too much. | - Bearing Noise | ||
| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| Should you be looking for a cooler with excellent price/performance ration, then the Themis EVO from Raijintek is a safe bet. Overall you should also consider that this 33 Euro cooler is not the most silent model we've ever had for testing. |
