CRYORIG Teases Upcoming 'New Generation' CPU Cooler

[Uskompuf]

CRYORIG has recently teased what they claim to be the 'New Generation of Cooler'. The announcement was accompanied by an image of the upcoming cooler which appears to be a different design for the company with a dual-fan single tower setup. The 5 in "5OON" indicates this will likely be a successor for the CRYORIG H5 series of CPU coolers which are designed for enthusiast applications up to 160 W. This new design will likely bring increased performance and better position CRYORIG to compete with Noctua and be quiet!, CRYORIG did not confirm when this new cooler will be released or what price it will retail for.

its some copper heatpipes, some aluminium fins and 1 2 or 3 fans, Cryorig, calm down, this is not that exciting....

The problem with Cryorig is that whilst aesthetically speaking, they have some of the very nicest air cooler designs out there, their actual cooling performance tends to be only mid-table.

Maybe 5 fans 5oon!

Agree. Their design is one of the best among the cooler market, but the performance is only mid-tier. I like the looks of H5 so much.

Another tower cooler designed for best efficiency on a Horizontal Motherboard, yet ultimately placed Vertically, mounted in Tower cases.
Nothing original here.

I see:

• 6 staggered heatpipes on each side,
• A large baseplate (so not direct contact heatpipes)
• 2 bespoke fans held in place by wire clips (so other-brand fans will require you to kludge the mounting yourself)
• Cryorig's standard plastic cap to cover the heatpipes
• Straight aluminium fins (so no more honeycomb fin design)
• A reduction from two spring posts on either side to one spring post in the middle of the cooler (so new mounting bracket?)

Don't get me wrong, the old H5 is a fantastic cooler. Not because it was better than other coolers, but because it was great value for money and good enough for most people.
I switched to I switched to H5 coolers when supply of the CM 212EVO dried up - it was also a mediocre cooler but at only $20 it was a lot of cooling per dollar. Low price, low noise, ample cooling.

I don't think heatpipes care about orientation, or are you referring to the clamping pressure when a tower is hung sideways off a vertical motherboard?

Their coolers have a couple of years and back then you could compare their performance to any other high-end brand. However, all top brands improved their products since then, while Cryorig not. The only good and improved cooler is the C7-Cu which is amazing for its size. They literally have nothing new for like 4 years and I already thought they went bankrupt as they canceled all marketing contracts in the EU about 2 years ago.

I honestly remember some of their coolers to come pretty close to a comparable noctua solution for even less money, perhaps i remember wrong, but i wouldn't call them "mid-table" because they're surely above that, especially for the price tag

The whole middle slot will be a radiator/vapor chamber instead of a fan, with the 2x outer fans doing push pull?

This is not a H5 replacement. This is the Cryorig R5 that was promised a loooooong time ago.

"New Generation" of CPU cooler is a bold statement to make. While I can only see the silhouette of the cooler in the picture, I don't really see anything "new generation" about other than the size which is starting to become a norm.

Oh dear.

A heatsink that small can't really benefit much from a push-pull configuration. A larger heatsink instead of the second fan is the answer.

Plenty of similar designs have tried and failed, the benchmark winners when looking at keep-out-zone designs are the single-fan ones that spend the limited volume available on more heatsink surface area.

Wouldn't mind one of those CU Enhanced R1 Ultimate/Universal coolers
