Thanks to CRYORIG proprietary manufacturing processes the CRYORIG C7 comes packed with a staggering total of 4 high performance copper heatpipes. CRYORIG heatpipe tech allows the C7 to be 25% cooler while being 20% quieter than a reference stock heatsink, while being the same size.
The CRYORIG C7 was designed to be a solution for all cases and PC systems. With a height of 47mm fan included, the C7 fist into almost all aftermarket case, while packing cooling tech only found on full sized tower coolers. Small yet powerful.
The CRYORIG C7 has a specifically designed width and length that safely complies with the CPU * Keep Out Zone . The C7 is a guaranteed fit, with no RAM or PCI-E card interference period.
*The CPU Keep Out Zone is a design guideline set by both Intel and AMD. It is set around the CPU, and dictates no components over a certain height can be placed there.
A super compact cooler like the C7, needs as much cooling tech as possible. The C7's 92mm fan features CRYORIG's proprietary Quad Air Inlet™ System that allows for extra air intake from the four corners of the frame, more airflow more cool.
The C7's proprietary 92mm fan comes with built in Acoustic Vibration Absorbers. The same found on the award winning R1 series ultra high-end dual tower cooler. By insulating the fan and metal fins, it effectively eliminates all unnecessary vibration.
With the newest addition to CRYORIG's award winning mounting systems, the C7 features CRYORIG's easiest mounting kit to date. Watch how to install your C7 in 3 steps and within minutes, and with all needed tools included right in the box.
MOTHERBOARD COMPATIBITY
Pros: Super low vertical clearance, great for fitting into small mITX systems. As there is no overhang, the C7 does not interfere with memory sticks. Installation process is standard compared to other aftermarket CPU coolers. The price is much lower compared to similar low clearance coolers.
Cons: The fan is attached to the cooler via a proprietary system, so you cannot simply replace the fan if you want. However, registering the product online provides an extended warranty (3 years, I believe).
Overall Review: I purchased this from Newegg ($30) to replace the stock Intel cooler on my mITX system. Seems to perform better than stock, at both idle and max load. I did some crude testing with Prime95. System Specs: CPU: Intel i5 4570 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87N-Wifi VGA: MSI GTX 960 2GD5T 2GB Case: Coolermaster Elite 130 PERFORMANCE: Intel Stock Cooler: Idle: 41-44 C at 1700rpm Prime95 1 min: 85+ C at 2900rpm (max) Prime95 5 min: Did not do, as sensor alarm claimed overheating. Cryorig C7: Idle: 30-32 C at 1225rpm Prime95 1 min: 70 C at 2350rpm Prime95 5 min: 81-84 C at 2575rpm (max) NOISE: I do not have a tool to measure decibels. However, I do feel the system is overall quieter with the new CPU cooler. This is to be expected, given the lower fan RPMs throughout. CONCLUSION: I was debating between this and the Noctua L9x65 ($60). I had read online reviews claiming this to perform at approximately the same level, but at a fraction of the price! Was not disappointed, and would buy again.
