Finished Looks
The black and white theme adds some nice contrast, and such neutral colors should have this cooler fit most system themes well. The small size has the cooler nestle in between the system memory and motherboard heatsinks. It's almost cute, but can hardware even be considered cute?
I have no doubt the CRYORIG C7 will fit perfectly into just about any system imaginable, from small form factor to HTPCs. Here's a tiny cooler for a tiny system, but the CRYORIG C7 is also attractively priced, unlike some of its competitors.
What might be a turn-off for some is a big plus to me: There are no LEDs, or other such crazy bling, on the C7. It's a nice, clean, and presentable cooler. The only splash of color to be seen is on the CRYORIG logo in the middle of the fan.
Clears the EPS 8-pin? Check. Clears all DIMM slots? Check. Clears primary expansion slot? Check. The CRYORIG C7's design adheres to Intel's and AMD's keep-out zone, offering perfect clearance all around, and its incredibly short height of just 47 mm should have it clear the side panels of even the most slim of slim cases.
