This budget CPU air cooler is the Vetroo V5, priced at about $30, and we bought it to review against coolers ranging $30 to $50, but also included high-end liquid coolers for comparison.

The Vetroo V5 has become an extremely popular air cooler in a relatively low-end category of cooler. Its size indicates it should be a major step-up as an upgrade option or alternative to the AMD stock coolers (like the Wraith Spire or Stealth), but the question is whether it's worth it to spend $20 more on something like a Noctua NH-U12S Redux or Scythe FUMA 2 instead (we have reviews for both linked below). The Vetroo V5 is tested against some of the best CPU coolers on the market right now, mostly benchmarked on Ryzen CPUs (like the AMD R5, R7, and R9 series).
