A Closer Look

While the CRYORIG H7 Universal may be smaller than the H5, its design is similar. It is a single-tower, single-fan design that makes use of CRYORIG's laundry list of features to improve performance. The company's Hive Fin design and Jet Fin Acceleration System both make an appearance. As for the heatsink itself, it has forty aluminum fins that are 0.4 mm thick and are spaced 2.2 mm apart.


The tower itself is slightly offset, which allows for the memory to be as tall as you want. The tower alone weighs 577 g without a fan, which is pretty hefty considering its size.


The H7 Universal's top plate is made of black plastic and has a hole for tightening the X-bar. While the top plate does cover the top aluminum fin, it also caps the heatpipes for a cleaner appearance, with CRYORIG's logo there for a bit of contrast. The three copper heatpipes have a diameter of 6 mm and are nickle-plated, just like the base. No noticeable gaps visible upon taking a closer look, the base itself is also ever so slightly convex, and there are, while smooth to the touch, visible machining marks.


CRYORIG coupled the H7 up with a QF120 Balanced fan. It uses an HPLN (High Precision Low Noise) sleeve bearing, has a PWM range of 330-1600 RPM, and features rubber acoustic vibration absorbers to reduce noise output. That it can dip as low as 330 RPM is nice to see. I have been harping on this for awhile, and it seems as though CRYORIG was listening. Such a low RPM will allow the H7 to be all but silent at idle and low loads.
