It has been a while since we last had an update from Cryorig, but that changes today. This week, Cryorig is launching its R5 CPU cooler, complete with a new mounting design and dual 120mm fans with high air pressure. 

With the launch of the new R5 CPU cooler, Cryorig is debuting its new Qlick-Mount mounting system with One Hand Installation. The Crona 120 fans also innovate by featuring a “3-dimensional lighting structure” that enhances the lighting of the ARGB LEDs instead of the standard square fan design.

The Cryorig R5 is the second R series high-performance cooler. This dual-fan CPU cooler comes with a heatsink designed to “stay within the mainboard's CPU Keep-Out-Zone”, avoiding interference with the RAM modules even on Intel's HEDT platforms (x99/299). The cooler features 6x 6mm copper heat pipes, 48x fins, and a pure copper nickel-plated Convex-Align cooler base.

The two fans included with the cooler are the XF140 with a rotational speed ranging from 700RPM to 1300RPM (±10%). Featuring a rated noise level of up to 23dB, a maximum rated airflow of 76CFM, and an air pressure of 1.44mmH20, these fans allow the R5 cooler to handle a TDP of up to 200W. The R5 CPU cooler is compatible with Intel LGA2066, LGA2011(-3), and 115X CPU sockets, and AMD FM1, FM2/+, AM2/+, AM3/+, and AM4 CPU sockets.

The Crona 120 fans were designed to highlight their lighting effects by removing the square frame around the fan. Available in black and white, the Crona 120 fans feature an unobstructed 3-D lighting halo that can be seen from both the side and front. These fans include an RGB controller and remote that allows you to choose one of the 14 speed presets and adjust the lighting effects. You can also use the 12V or 5V ARGB inputs to synchronise with other ARGB LEDs in your system through the motherboard RGB software or through a standalone RGB controller.

These fans have a rated speed ranging from 400RPM to 1700RPM (±10%), generating a maximum airflow of up to 60.6CFM and maximum air pressure of 2.65mmH2O. The maximum rated noise level is 29.7dbA.

Cryorig also announced the launch of “Spares Kit in response to customer expectations”. These kits include a backplate, fan clips, screws, and a cable.

The Cryorig R5 CPU cooler and Crona 120 ARGB fans are available now. Pricing of these Cryorig products has not been shared yet. You can learn more about the Cryorig R5 CPU cooler HERE, and for the Crona 120 fan HERE.

Cryorig explains its profane tweet aimed at Cooler Master https://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/damien-cox/cryorig-explains-its-profane-tweet-aimed-at-cooler-master/ https://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/damien-cox/cryorig-explains-its-profane-tweet-aimed-at-cooler-master/#comments Mon, 23 Oct 2017 16:05:32 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=351367 Last week, cooler manufacturer Cryorig posted a questionable image poking fun at its competitor, Cooler Master over on Twitter.

Last week, cooler manufacturer Cryorig posted a questionable image poking fun at its competitor, Cooler Master over on Twitter. Cryorig’s Head of Sales & Marketing, Steve Shen has since shed light on the matter, explaining that the picture was actually fan made.

The tweet stated “Just upload the pics of AM4 mobo and Cryorig’s cooler on our site, then you can apply the AM4 upgrade kit easily, here’s the perfect example!” Shen explains that this is in relation to the company’s application page where it “require[s] users to upload a proof of purchase or ownership of some kind.”

In turn, a user posted the photo internally to the Cryorig team, which “circulated the office” and became quite popular. “This in turn translated to our social media team thinking it was a green light to post,” to which Shen admits that the blame falls on him. The company removed the image promptly after.

“I would say that there is always competition with other brands, but keeping everything in good taste and class is equally as important as the competition itself. If the actual profane language was only hinted or masked, then I would probably keep it on our social media page,” explains Shen.

“I am in full support of our fans speaking their minds and showing their love for us. But straight up profanity has no place on our social media pages. Name calling and profanity is not how we’re going to compete with other brands, quality and high class products is what we need to focus on.”

Cooler Master did, in fact, respond to the tweet in a comical manner before its removal, as seen in the screenshot above, showing that there are no hard feelings between the two companies for the slight mishap. On behalf of Cryorig, Shen “would also like to apologize to Cooler Master on the matter. And kudos to them for having much more class in this incident.”

KitGuru Says: With the image being fan made, the only real mishap for the company was posting it, which can be an easy mistake in miscommunication. Cryorig's prompt removal of the image and reply to KitGuru is certainly respectable and with the company emphasising its focus on quality products, fans are sure to benefit down the line.

Update 23/10/17: Since the original story, Cryorig has responded to our query, explaining that the picture is actually fan made, yet the posting was the fault of the company. You can read the full response here.

Original story:

Cryorig is a relatively new company on the scene, with its H7 Quad Lumi RGB Air Cooler having impressed us just a couple of months ago. It seems that the company is still finding its feet on social media, however, after not so subtly taking shots at Cooler Master over on its official Twitter page.

Cryorig sent out a standard tweet in promotion of its new AM4 compatible coolers and its upgrade kit for its previous editions, showcasing its own products. The picture itself features a new AMD Ryzen processor boxed on top of Cryorig’s H7 cooler, but it doesn’t take a keen eye to notice what is in the background.

With a crude use of the recently saved Microsoft Paint, profanity can be seen lingering above the logo of one of Cryorig’s top competitor’s, Cooler Master. It’s slightly out of focus but intentionally legible its audience.

There have been some interesting interactions between competing companies in the past, usually on the more playful sides of things, but Cryorig’s attempt is certainly a questionable way to go about it.

It might be a pebble in the ocean as it stands, with Cryorig’s Twitter sitting just above 7K in comparison to Cooler Master’s 278K. Cryorig has since responded to the matter, apologising to Cooler Master to the mistake.

KitGuru Says: Blunder or perfectly harmless, one thing that needs to be remembered is that these accounts are run by real people who can misjudge and make mistakes from time to time. Do you think Cryorig’s tweet was harmless or do you think there’s an unprofessional aura around it?

Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi RGB Air Cooler Review https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/dominic-moass/cryorig-h7-quad-lumi-rgb-air-cooler-review/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/dominic-moass/cryorig-h7-quad-lumi-rgb-air-cooler-review/#comments Fri, 04 Aug 2017 11:31:07 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=342350 Cryorig's award-winning H7 is back - but this time with controllable RGB lighting...

The post Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi RGB Air Cooler Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
When we first looked at Cryorig's H7 air cooler back in March this year, it walked away with our ‘Must Have' award and a 9/10 score. You can bet we were excited to get our hands on the H7 Quad Lumi, then, given it features an improved fan, an extra heatpipe for increased cooling capacity and , of course. RGB lighting.

If you are not too keen on the RGB lighting trend that has taken the PC market by storm, it is unlikely the Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi will be for you. The original H7 remains our top recommendation for those looking for an air cooler on a budget, though, so be sure to check that out if RGB isn't your thing.

However, for those who love RGB LEDs, the Quad Lumi will no-doubt appeal strongly. It actually uses NZXT's CAM software to control the light show, rather than relying on a motherboard 4-pin RGB header, so anyone with a unused motherboard USB header can get the best from the cooler. For a full look at the lighting, why not watch our demo video?

Today at Computex, Cryorig has unveiled its Taku chassis, an innovative ultra-small case catering to those who want a no-compromise system with a tiny footprint. Launching on Kickstarter, the Taku is currently available for $250 as an early-bird special, though the regular price is a bit higher at $299.

Given Cryorig are not known for manufacturing cases, the company has actually partnered with Lian Li to work on the Taku. The project has been in the works for two years, and Lian Li have been developing the Taku for 6 months.

One key feature of the Taku is its space-saving design. Cryorig has created the Taku to operate as both a small form-factor case and a monitor stand, so you can rest monitors up to 15kg on-top of the case. Furthermore, the Taku's width, coupled with its raised feet, allows users to store a full-size keyboard underneath the case itself. All of this means you can save a lot of desk space by going for the Taku when compared to a more standard tower desktop.

Most people will use it primarily as a case, though, and you will be glad to hear that the Taku can fit graphics cards up to 280mm in-length, which is all but the biggest of cards currently available. It can also house SFX or SFX-L power supplies, while your storage is handled by the 1x 3.5″ and 2x 2.5″ drive bays.

For those who are interested, here are the full specs of the case:

  • Case Dimensions (H x W x D):142 x 570 x 310 mm
  • Weight: 5,3 kg
  • Motherboard support: Mini-ITX
  • Power Supply support: SFX, SFX-L
  • Drives: 1 x 3.5” HDD and 2 x 2.5″ HDD/SSD
  • Front ports: 2 x USB 3.0 (internal 20pin plug) and 3.5mm Audio in/out ports.
  • Power button: Premium-grade button
  • Material: 2 mm aluminum, anodized sandblasted exterior
  • Colors: Anodized black or silver exterior, matte black painted
  • Included in Box: Internal Lian-Li PCI-E 3.0 x16 compatible Riser Card, PSU- 24pin and 8pin extension cable included, 92mm System Fan included
  • CPU Coolers Note: Max. height 48mm
  • Graphics Card Max. Width: From bottom of PCI-E slot to top: 134mm, Max. Height: 40mm (Dual Slot PCI-E), Max. Length: 280mm
  • Motherboard: Mini-ITX
  • Power Supply: SFX and SFX-L
  • Memory Max. Height: 52 mm

KitGuru says: It is always interesting when companies branch out into new areas, and the Taku looks like a very exciting case from Cryorig. Would any of you guys be interested in something like this?

Cryorig C7 Low-Profile Cooler Review https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/dominic-moass/cryorig-c7-low-profile-cooler-review/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/dominic-moass/cryorig-c7-low-profile-cooler-review/#respond Fri, 28 Apr 2017 09:09:26 +0000 http://www.kitguru.net/?p=331318 Cryorig's C7 is ideal for ITX builds with strict height restrictions. Is it worth £30.95?

The post Cryorig C7 Low-Profile Cooler Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Following on from the success of the Cryorig H7 and R1 Ultimate coolers, today we are looking at a different beast entirely – the low-profile C7. Designed to fit in the tightest of spaces, the C7 has a total height of just 47mm, and this makes it ideal for use in SFF cases.

The Cryorig C7 is also well priced at £30.95, meaning it is a few pounds cheaper than the similarly-sized Raijintek Pallas. However, until we can assess its installation process and performance, we will draw no conclusions about the value it offers.

Heatsink Specification:

  • Dimension ( with fan ): L97 mm x W97 mm x H47 mm
  • Weight ( with fan ): 357 g
  • Weight ( without fan ): 295 g
  • Heat pipes: 6mm heatpipe x 4 units
  • Fin: T = 0.4 mm ; Gap = 1.2 mm
  • Fin Pcs: 57 pcs
  • Copper Base: C1100 Pure copper nickel plated
  • RAM Height Limit: Limitless
  • TDP: 100 W

Fan Specification:

  • Dimension: L92 mm x W92 mm x H15 mm
  • Weight: 62 g
  • Rated Speed: 600 ~ 2500 RPM ±10 %
  • Noise Level: 30 dBA
  • Air Flow: 40.5 CFM
  • Air Pressure: 2.8 mmH2O
  • Ampere: 0.2 A

Just how good is it really?

    The post Cryorig H7 Air Cooler Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
    Billed as a ‘Hyper 212 EVO' killer, I have been itching to review the Cryorig H7 for a long time now. On the face of it, it does not look that special, measuring just 145mm tall and utilising a mere 3 heatpipes. But is its appearance deceiving? We will find out.

    The ‘budget air cooling' market segment is a competitive area, and manufacturers have long been trying to hit the price-to-performance sweet-spot. Previously, we have seen the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO dominate in this segment, but today we assess the performance of the Cryorig H7, priced at £36.95. Read on for the full review, where we look at the cooler's features, installation process and performance before giving our final verdict.

      Following on from our previous articles about fan configuration and static pressure vs airflow fans, today we are looking at thermal paste. Specifically, we are hoping to find out whether or not choosing different types of thermal paste actually makes any difference. To do this, we test 7 products from 6 companies to see how much difference thermal paste really makes.

      In another article aimed to help out confused PC builders out there, we are answering the age-old question of whether thermal paste really matters. I remember building my first PC and wondering if it really matters – there is certainly a lot of conflicting information about this online. So we are here to help by showing you if there really is any tangible benefit to using different types of thermal paste.

      main1

      For this test today, we are comparing the following products:

      • Arctic Silver 5 – info HERE
      • Arctic Silver Céramique 2 – info HERE
      • Arctic MX-4 – info HERE
      • Cooler Master MasterGel Pro – info HERE
      • Cryorig CP15 – info HERE
      • EKWB Ectotherm – info HERE
      • Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut – info HERE

      Incidentally, we also ran poll on Twitter recently which found 41% of you use Arctic Silver 5, while 25% of you are happy to use whatever comes with your CPU cooler of choice. In this article we will find out if spending just a few pounds extra on 3rd-party thermal paste is worth it.
