The difference is just size. The H5 is a physically bigger cooler than the H7. The H5 Universal has a thin fan, which is why it fits behind the RAM slots so it doesn't block anything. The H5 Ultimate is the same cooler...
Pricing was literately mentioned in the second post. The BeQuiet Pure rock overhangs the RAM slots, so if OP ever goes with a full set of RAM he'll have to deal with height adjustment issues. Also they didn't rate a fan noise level, where the Cryorig did. Thats why the OP went with the Cryorig over the Pure Rock. It's not always about which is cheaper, its about which works for your build best. At $25, the Pure Rock would be the best choice if it met the critira OP was looking for. If you can find compelling reasons other than cost to change over to it, go for it. I'd like to see it as well since Cryorigs have gotten their prices jacked lately.
