Some of those other companies need to start sending Tom's Hardware more review samples. Enermax and Arctic Cooling have popped out some products, and I think everyone would like to see how the Hyper 212X stacks up against modern competition.
Can we get the Cryorig H7 and CM Hyper 212 on the bench?
I just bought a Cryorig H5 to replace an aging Hyper 212 Evo and very glad I did. Much quieter and keeps my system much cooler than anything else I've ever used. Cryorig definitely needs some more mentions here.

Do you have any hard numbers on the Cryorig H5 vs the 212 Evo?
Also, I've got an 212 in both systems and I can't hear them even at max speed (high quality cases though, that might make a difference.)
I will second the desire for either the Cryorig H5 or H7 to be looked at. The H7 in particular seems a much better choice than the DeepCool Gammaxx 400 for the price.
I think it would be nice if the article mentioned cooling capacity, perhaps a CPU wattage rating or temperature drop comparison. I'm in the middle of designing a new build myself, and dB and cooling capacity are important considerations. Still, I'm not planning a monster gaming machine, so I guess I can stick with what I know, partial to my old Zalman Ruby Orb.
Does this list seem just a tad bias with four Noctua coolers? I can´t believe Scythe Ashura or any Scythe coolers aren't on this list. Ashura has one of the best all-round cooling performances and extremely simple to mount: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Scythe/Ashura/1.html
