JONSBO HX6250 is a Large Tower Type Cooler That Can Tame 250W TDP

[btarunr]

JONSBO today released the HX6250, a large tower-type CPU cooler that's capable of handling thermal loads of up to 250 W. A massive 1.15 kg tower-type aluminium fin-stack heatsink forms the main cooling muscle. The fin-stack pulls heat from a nickel-plated copper base through six copper heat-pipes. These heat-pipes, and the aluminium fins, feature a graphene-based surface treatment that improves heat dissipation. The heatsink is ventilated by an included 140 mm fan that does 700 to 1,800 RPM, pushing between 34.57 to 90.2 CFM of airflow, and 38 dBA maximum noise output. An included resistor cable can dial things down to 400 to 1,200 RPM, 17.68 to 57.81 CFM, and 28 dBA noise output. The cooler measures 121 mm x 144 mm x 162 mm (DxWxH). Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA2066, LGA1200, LGA115x, and AM4.

I bet there would not be that much space from the vcard to cooler on my board haha. Need more pics.

Why the hell is it 700rpm to 1800rpm when you can use a resistor to make it go 400-1200rpm. Should it not be able to go 400rpm with out it too.

 

[Space Lynx]

would be nice to see a review on this one... vs some of the Noctua's. me curious

 

[turbogear]

With 1.15 Kg, this thing is quite heavy on the mainboard.
I wonder if these will not cause the mainboard PCB to bend over time.

Almost forgot about these tower coolers as not used such things for last 10 years since switching to custom water cooling.

Motherboards are quite a bit sturdier nowadays than they were 10 years ago. I've never had problems with big air coolers (Noctua, Thermalright)

Please, stop spreading FUD

 

[theGryphon]

It has a nice wind-tunnel design. Should be a decent performer, as long as they got manufacturing right (contacts, tolerances, etc).

 

[The Quim Reaper]

Subjective of course, but that's one nice looking cooler.

It would look really nice in my Fractal Meshify C tower with the dark tint window and if the cooling chops are as advertised, would be a very nice replacement for my Dark Rock 4.

 

[watzupken]

This looks like a tweaked version of the Corsair A500, and missing 1 fan.

 

[tabascosauz]

The Corsair A500 is also rated for "250W TDP" while really performing no better than a lighter and quieter NH-D15. 2 years of chiplet Ryzen should have taught everyone by now that cooler TDP ratings are worthless on modern processors.

Then there's the fan. 90CFM @ 38dB? My A14 iPPC-2000 pushes 107CFM @ 31.5dB and it's already a frickin unbearable screamer at full speed. Hell, even my regular brown A14 does 82CFM @ 25dB and 1500rpm, and that one's actually quiet at full speed. 28dB with LNA is still louder than both the full speed brown A14, or the 120/135mm Silent Wings 3 on the DRP4.

I like the chamfered edges, but the Dark Rock Pro 4 already has the aesthetic locked down and fits up to Trident Z heatspreaders just fine, and is barely audible at full speed, so magnitudes quieter than this one can be even at reduced speed.

Maybe it's attractive if it's a cheap cooler, but the design indicates otherwise and jonsbo isn't usually a budget option.

Motherboards aren't made of papyrus, and most people don't run a horizontal testbench (even then DRP4/U12A are fine). Dark Rock Pro 4 is ~1.15kg, NH-U12A is 1.2kg, NH-D15 is 1.3kg, all of them are just fine. If you care about board bowing, your everyday sagging high end videocard without a GPU bracket places a crazy amount of physical stress on a much smaller area on the mobo.

 

[theGryphon]

There's no standard on dB measurements, they're all over the place, never to be trusted.

I hope for their sake this performs better than the A500.

Edit: On second thought, this has nothing to do with the A500. It should do better.

 

[Mussels]

Looks nice and clean, i'd feel no shame running that

 

[Solid State Soul ( SSS )]

very good looking design

 

[Operandi]

Jonsbo seems like pretty interesting company. This HS looks like it has some potential and looks super clean. They also seemed like they kinda picked up the torch that Lian Li layed down of making minimalistic classy all aluminum cases. I'd like to see more from them get picked up for the NA market.

A bit OT but the Asus motherboard render used in the example is hillarious:

• Compact ATX but still 8 memory slots, somehow. Magic!
• Five PCIe x16 slots with no gaps between four of them
• 12 SATA ports but zero M.2 slots
• A random PCIe x1 connector up by the 24-pin ATX connector rotated 90 degrees and with no retention mechanism
• More internal jumper pins than a spike pit trap.
• Dip switches (of various size, amusingly)
• Zero internal USB headers because who needs those, right?
• Two SPDIF CD-ROM audio connectors last seen in 2003

I know, I know, it's only a render, but how hard is it to use a real board, or at least one that looks like it came from this decade?

I agree with regards to the GPUs.
These high end 3 slot cards can also cause lot of stress on PCIe slots especially on the edge where power cables are also hanging like for example 6900XT Red Devil is quite large and heavy. PowerColor therefore includes a support bracket in the package.
I tested it and the idea was to replace cooler with water block.
I was not vary happy with temperatures and it's OC potential although that card had massive cooler.
I went finally with 6900XTU Liquid Devil Ultimate which comes pre-fitted with water block.
I have been using water blocks on GPU since some generations especially due to ocing potentials are better with good temperatures.

The design of JONSBO looks nice with that drawing on the top and all black colors.
The mesh structure of the fan also looks cool.

Agreed, but it doesn't change the fact that some companies that build custom systems won't ship a completed build with these types of cpu coolers installed due to there being a higher rate of damage to the motherboard during the shipping process. I don't know how much higher the figures were vs other cooling solutions, but they were high enough that Digital Storm stopped offering the Noctua air coolers for this reason.

They're very good coolers so long as your system doesn't need to be moved around frequently.

howd i miss that? that mobos friggin hilarious

Looks like X99-Deluxe

Cooler design reminds me of Thermalright's Macho series.

Holy hell, you're right! It's pretty much an exact match for the v1 X99-Deluxe (not the II) - TPU review too. Just that the USB and front panel headers don't have any plastic surrounding the pins. I thought it looked like an Asus board from 2015 but the pins threw me off. Makes me wonder why someone would go to the painstaking effort of making a render of such an old board......

They didn't do it recently. They just pulled it from a repository.

Good spot! Amazing how old it looks even though it's only 7 years ago - boards today are big on M.2 slots and, thanks to all the plusses that follow 14nm, much more board area dedicated to CPU VRMs.

That weirdo PCIe x1 slot up by the ATX 24-pin is an M.2 slot, of sorts. I would actually like to see those make a comeback, because jamming the M.2 underneath the GPU on most motherboards isn't great for their temperature.

 

[matar]

My first impression thought what Tesla cooler

 

[the ram]

I'm still waiting for the review here in tpu :V

 

[Chrispy_]

I'm still waiting for the review here in tpu :V

Jonsbo are kinda low-volume, limited markets, and CPU coolers aren't their focus (they mostly make HTPC and SFF cases).
So chances of them sending out loads of review samples is basically nil.

It's probably fine, since a large, 6-heatpipe, 140mm tower is always going to obey the laws of physics, assuming the mounting pressure is adequate and the heatpipes aren't actually defective.
I can guarantee you that Jonsbo themselves don't manufacture this, so it's almost certain that you can find something extremely close to this without the Jonsbo logo on it elsewhere.

 

[the ram]

$70 for one of these is it worth it?
