Cryorig CR-H7A Tower Cooler For AMD/Intel CPU

Product Information

Albeit a tad crooked, if you are a system builder, or are just looking for a more compact design that has what it takes to get the job done, then H7 is definitely worth a look. Performance of the CRYORIG H7 Quad Lumi is also quite good, as it was capable of competing with larger footprint coolers with more fans attached.

com with more than 15 years' experience in personal computers, server and storage systems, UPS, peripheral devices and software. With the CPU cooler H7, Cryorig relies on three 6mm thick heatpipes that connect the nickel- plated copper base plate to the tower of the heat sink. Partially secure each corner in a criss-cross fashion for equal weight distribution until fully secure in place. We ourselves are overclockers and PC modding enthusiasts, with a passion and drive to strive for improvement.For starters, it looks great – the top of the cooler is covered by some svelte black plastic which keeps the H7 looking sleek, while it is also very compact at just 145mm tall. The operation of the fans is done by a 4-pin PWM powered and regulated CRYORIG’s HPLN bearing to deliver stable and precise rotation eliminating excess vibration and noise. With just 1 fan (at it's highest speed) it was idling at 30-33 degrees and hitting 50 degrees plus in Battlefield 1. Everything about installing the cooler was surprisingly easy, even down to screwing in the cooler from the other side of the motherboard while holding the fin block in place, a step of the process I was legitimately worried about! As always before starting, make sure that all the parts listed in the user’s manual are included in the package and lay them all out for easier installation.

While Cryorig's new cooler may look typical at first glance, under closer inspection, it's apparent there is much more to the cooler than originally perceived. The H7 Quad Lumi features CRYORIG's Zero Interference design, that keeps the full heatsink+fan compactly inside the CPU Keep Out Zone and away from the RAM slots. After all, no matter how many fans are added there are only 3 heatpipes, which in this case really matters. In addition, the QF120 has four additional air vents on the case, which further increase the performance of the fan. We saw it go toe-to-toe with much more expensive air and liquid coolers, even coming out on-top when compared with the MasterAir Maker 8 from Cooler Master.The position screws can only be passed through the backplate in one way because of the stop-gap holders on the edges. When it comes to the typical air cooler, there are basic components that make a very big difference in the overall efficiency of a product. I also would like to see an RGB fan included here instead of a white LED fan for better synchronization. The H7 Quad Lumi is actually an improved version of the award winning H7 CPU Air Cooler CRYORIG released a while back featuring one additional nickel-plated heatpipe (according to CRYORIG this offers a 15% cooling efficiency improvement), LED lighting and support for the LGA 2011 platform by Intel. For Intel systems, the backplate has three different positioned holes to accommodate LGA775, LGA1366 and LGA115x sockets.

Not gonna defend the H7 too much, because it is a PITA to mount, but after you've done it a few times, it gets better. The screws coming through the motherboard should line up perfectly with an x-shaped bracket on the base of the H7.

By checking all of the accessories, I can say that every single part of this package is carefully chosen so the cooler can deliver maximum compatibility and a lot of options.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . As an effective anti-vibration measure four rubber dampers are embedded in the corners of the 120mm fan.using the two QF120 balance fans installed in push-pull setup, rotating at maximum speed of 1600 revolutions per minute. For attachment to the backplate, the Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi has an X-bar cross-shaped attachment that is compatible with most AMD and Intel sockets. One bag has all of the paperwork, another bag contains mounting hardware, and yet another bag contains a pair of extra wire fan clips for adding a second fan.
