WHO AND WHAT IS CRYORIG?

CRYORIG was officially founded in 2013, but took several years in the making. We began our journey right at the start of the first decade of the 2000's. During what was the most prosperous age of PC DIY and Overclocking. Members of our team have either worked directly or indirectly with brands such as Thermalright, Prolimatech, Phanteks and many more. We ourselves are overclockers and PC modding enthusiasts, with a passion and drive to strive for improvement. With direct knowledge of manufacturing and design as well as holding multiple patents under our collective belt, we decided to make a name for ourselves, and that name is CRYORIG. So what is CRYORIG exactly? CRYORIG is about making the coolest rig possible.

CRYORIG has rapidly expanded with an extensive lineup of CPU coolers and fans, and has quickly made a name for itself by doing so, covering nearly every segment of the market. The company targets many important price points with such coolers as the R1 Ultimate or H7 Universal. Add to that the high quality and optional customization and you have some real winners. With a great deal of early success, it will be interesting to see how CRYORIG expands and improves on its products going forward.

In today's review, I look at the CRYORIG C7. This tiny cooler looks to give users a quiet alternative to Intel's stock cooler while being a bit more classy. Armed with four heatpipes and fifty-seven cooling fins, this ultra-compact cooler should prove rather interesting.
