When it comes to cooling capacity we definitely can not complain. The R1 Universal is amongst the most powerful aircoolers and it's even better than some AIO liquid cooling systems. | - Cooling performances | ||
Noise Levels | + | - | |
When it comes to noise levels, this cooler could be a little bit more silent. In the case of 7V we would have liked this cooler to be inaudible, but that is not the case since it can be described as silent. Also driven via the PWM signal it's not as silent as we would like it to be, although there is plenty of potential. | - Very Silent | ||
Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
The Cryorig R1 Universal is a powerful twin tower cooler that comes with great looks finish and a price of 70 Euro. Therefore, it is expensive for an air cooler, but since this unit is performance very well it's worth the amount spent. Should you be looking for a high-end aircooler, then the R1 Universal is definitely worth considering. |
