Finished Looks

Much like the CRYORIG A40 Ultimate, the A80 features a black and white color scheme, which makes for a neutral look that should fit in well with most systems. The fan on the pump really stands out and adds a unique twist on what has become a typically stale design; the ability to add cooling to the motherboard VRM, system RAM, or even the back of the GPU is also a welcome addition.


While most all-in-one liquid coolers have a sterile and clean appearance, the airflow fan lets CRYORIG's A80 break out of the box. While the idea is a bit of a gimmick, it does help it stand out. Whether that is good or bad is up the consumer. Personally, I am not really a fan of the design, but I do give CRYORIG credit for actually trying to offer something different while everyone else sticks to creating carbon copies of each other.


As per usual with AIO liquid coolers, clearance is exceptional. There are no obstructions around the socket and no interference with the graphics card in a mini-ITX style system. Overall, the CRYORIG A80 is a nice spin on a tried and true design that stands on its own rather than amidst many similar units.
