Can we get the Cryorig H7 and CM Hyper 212 on the bench?

 

[joz]

Not even a Hyper 212 Runner Up? The thing is a budget all star. And still has great temps.

Some of those other companies need to start sending Tom's Hardware more review samples. Enermax and Arctic Cooling have popped out some products, and I think everyone would like to see how the Hyper 212X stacks up against modern competition.

I second Cryorig H7 and Hyper 212 plea!

 

[ammaross]

Would be great to see the Frostflow pitted against the DeepCool Captain 240 EX.

Given that the main page refers to this as "Best Cooling," have you considered adding another page to recommend case fans?

 

[sublimaze]

+1 for case fans

I just bought a Cryorig H5 to replace an aging Hyper 212 Evo and very glad I did. Much quieter and keeps my system much cooler than anything else I've ever used. Cryorig definitely needs some more mentions here.

There should be an entry for 120 and 140mm rad coolers. some smaller cases just cant fit the 240s or 280s, so there is a market for them.

Do you have any hard numbers on the Cryorig H5 vs the 212 Evo?

Also, I've got an 212 in both systems and I can't hear them even at max speed (high quality cases though, that might make a difference.)

 

[logainofhades]

We need some cryorig reviews, for sure.

I will second the desire for either the Cryorig H5 or H7 to be looked at. The H7 in particular seems a much better choice than the DeepCool Gammaxx 400 for the price.

Corsair H115i didn't make the cut?

Too bad Cryorig doesn't provide SAMPLES as they are now the most ELITE in the Air Cooling market.

 

[LoneWolffe]

I think it would be nice if the article mentioned cooling capacity, perhaps a CPU wattage rating or temperature drop comparison. I'm in the middle of designing a new build myself, and dB and cooling capacity are important considerations. Still, I'm not planning a monster gaming machine, so I guess I can stick with what I know, partial to my old Zalman Ruby Orb.

Yea, there is a fair number, of us mods, that are using Cryorig coolers, of one form, or another. I have the A40, AIO, myself.

I have 1 - R1 Ultimate , 2 - H5 Universals , and 2 - H7 's , all are great performers.

I have a H5 Ultimate on the way , for a build next month.

Very well made , easy to mount.

 

[CthulhluRules]

Does this list seem just a tad bias with four Noctua coolers? I can´t believe Scythe Ashura or any Scythe coolers aren't on this list. Ashura has one of the best all-round cooling performances and extremely simple to mount: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Scythe/Ashura/1.html

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Very nice looking cooler , Scythe has a few.

 

[dreamalittle]

+1 for Scythe. Their kotetsu from years ago performs better than every single one of these for t delta noise AND price (besides the noisy argon).
