Jonsbo Outs HX5230 Tower-type CPU Cooler with 230W Cooling Capacity

[btarunr]

Jonsbo today released the HX5230, a mid-range tower-type CPU cooler. The cooler features an all-black tower-type design, Five 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes make indirect contact with the processor over a mirror-finish copper base, conveying heat through the anodized aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm fan. The fin-stack is capped by a die-cast aluminium top-plate that has a premium brushed-metal appearance. The included fan features a fluid-dynamic bearing, takes in 4-pin PWM input, and turns at speeds ranging between 700 to 1,800 RPM, pushing up to 83.04 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.68 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 37.6 dBA noise output. Jonsbo claims that the HX5230 can handle thermal loads of up to 230 W. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 128 mm x 75 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH), weighing 704 g. Among the socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Jonsbro, why not ?
On their website they says :
OEM and ODM are provided for well-known brands in Japan, Germany, Sweden and other countries.
Could it be Scythe, Be Quiet ! and Fractal Design ?

man, I am tired. I thought it said Tokyo type cpu cooler. I was like cool, this thing must be powerful lol

 

[Dirt Chip]

Looks cool but why do you want to perforate the fan sides? You loose air pressure for nothing. Or is it just "cosmetic holes"?

 

[diopter]

They aren't holes that go all the way through.

 

[Bomby569]

230w! that seems very optimistic

There are no side holes in the fin tunnel

 

[silentbogo]

The name of the company looks very familiar. Weren't they a big server chassis manufacturer back in a day? All I see now is consumer stuff on their website.

There's no way that dissipates 230W.

There's no way that dissipates 230W.

at 15000 rpm maybe

 

[P4-630]

Looks like a black Noctua NH-U12S

I think there's something wrong with their fan's claimed performance. 83.04 CFM at 1800 rpm, in a claimed 120mmx25mm fan, seems impossible when compared to the competition.

The Noctua NF-A12x25 at 2000 rpm only claims an airflow rate of 60.1 cfm (converted from the listed 102.1 cubic meters per hour). Arctic's new P12 Max fans spin up to 3300 RPM... and only claim an airflow rate of 81.04 CFM. They're claiming more airflow than that, at <60% of the speed... very dubious.

Arctic 34 Esports Duo can handle 210 watts with 4 heat pipes (5950X 4.7 all core), why can't a 5 heat pipe cooler do 230 watts?

 

[Dragokar]

Also guys, please keep in mind that all these TDP numbers are in house validations. There is no certified “test bench” as an industry standard. So get one or wait for reviews.

 

[AusWolf]

Essentially, a Coolermaster 212 Evo with an extra heatpipe and no direct contact that can cool 230 Watts. Yeah, right...

There was another article the other day on a new low profile Jonsbo cooler that can theoretically manage 140 Watts. Either they're seriously overestimating their coolers' abilities, or they're made out of a revolutionary new alloy from outer space. My guess is kind of obvious.

 

[P4-630]

Waiting for a review by @crazyeyesreaper .....

 

[playerlorenzo]

230W? That seems a bit too exaggerated for that form factor.

 

[Berfs1]

Okay... I really don't understand why they had to photoshop an Asus Maximus VIII Gene, when you can still partially see the ASUS imprint. Why spend the extra effort??

 

[A&P211]

at 15000 rpm maybe

I found it

 

[Assimilator]

Yeah, it handles 230W in the same way that stock coolers do - which is to say, it doesn't, so the CPU throttles to hell and gone and thus puts out less heat.

I've never understood why cooler manufacturers have been allowed to blatantly lie about their products forever.

Okay... I really don't understand why they had to photoshop an Asus Maximus VIII Gene, when you can still partially see the ASUS imprint. Why spend the extra effort??

Because apparently they're unable to take pictures of their own product, that allegedly released today.

The name of the company looks very familiar. Weren't they a big server chassis manufacturer back in a day? All I see now is consumer stuff on their website.

They make a lot of cases that make extensive use of AL and share a lot of aesthetic design language with Lian Li, at least when Lian Li made good looking cases.

Some of them look pretty nice UMX4 and VR4 has some interesting design ideas going on for example and the quality looks like its there but nobody seems to review them.

The Noctua NF-A12x25 at 2000 rpm only claims an airflow rate of 60.1 cfm (converted from the listed 102.1 cubic meters per hour). Arctic's new P12 Max fans spin up to 3300 RPM... and only claim an airflow rate of 81.04 CFM. They're claiming more airflow than that, at <60% of the speed... very dubious.

Gas dynamics, air resistance, there are such sections in practical physics. They explain some things. For example, through a radiator with more densely spaced ribs, air passes more difficult. There may even be back pressure to reduce throughput.

Curious to see testing on the various platforms and sockets - Jonsbo are a well known brand, but they don't have many top-tier contenders - and quality budget heatsinks are a great choice since you can always replace a crap fan

honesty/accuracy in measurements is the biggest issue, every brand tests differently and some are... less honest than others
