The Aigo Shadow Max V5 is an interesting, cylindrical tower cooler that supports AMD AM4 and Intel CPUs. We tested it versus stock AMD coolers and more, with interesting results.

The Aigo Shadow Max V5 has one of the worst pressure maps we've ever seen -- actually, it probably just is the worst -- but although that indicates inefficiencies, it doesn't necessarily mean the cooler is bad. Our noise level testing, noise-normalized testing, and thermal benchmarks will help determine whether this cooler is worth buying for its unique appearance.
