Water cooling could double as a fire suppression system in your computer, but once everything goes up in flames, spraying water all over it would be useless. Jokes aside, a water cooler is only there to cool the processor, but how cool would a fire...

Cryorig A40 Ultimate performance:First I would like to say that I've spent several hours with this product, which I really count as quality time since my first sight of the package and later the product, through the review and the tests and until it...

The CRYORIG A40 is not only the best performing CPU Cooler we've tested so far but it's also a good looking cooler and well made too! But the icing on the cake is surely the fact that it cools parts of your PC no other cooler can. And all this for just...

Overall impressions of the Cryorig A40 AIO CPU Cooler are excellent. We have had so many good coolers from Cryorig and yet more to come, there was a small concern this was the first sign of their creative energy waning. When you think about re-branding...

Price The Cryorig A40 is a little tricky to track down at most UK retailers, at least for now. We found it at eBuyer for a very reasonable £69.99 with free shipping, and that's a deal that you simply cannot ignore given that many rival products with...

Price Unfortunately, we couldn't find stock of the A40 Ultimate in the UK, which is a bit of a shame. That's not to say you shouldn't check though, as these things do change day by day. We found the A40 and A80 for under £70 at eBuyer, so one would...

When we finished our tests with the A80 Hybrid Liquid Cooling System the very first thing we thought about was just how much better it would be had CRYORIG used a thicker radiator like they did with the A40 Ultimate (perhaps an A80 Ultimate is on the...

Le dernier produit Cryorig à être passé entre nos mains était le R1 Ultimate, un dissipateur double tour disposant d'une finition exemplaire, d'un design agréable à regarder et proposant d'excellentes performances. En revanche, nous devions faire avec...

Proposé à un tarif d'environ 100€ le Cryorig A40 est un kit de watercooling AIO qui mérite que l'on s'y attarder, il sera tout à fait adapté à un processeur même overclocké, tant que l'on ne s'attend pas à un silence d'or, mais c'est malheureusement le...

Jeg må jo igen sige, at det er altså lækre produkter de laver, deres luftkølere er super lækre og det er nogle produkter vi er meget glade for, og nu har de så også lige fremstillet en AIO løsning der kan konkurrere med de andre på markedet. Jeg kan...

Esta primera toma de contacto con un kit de refrigeracion liquida de Cryorig la podemos calificar como muy satisfactoria. El proceso de instalacion es sencillisimo, con un gran bundle incluido, con innovaciones como la refrigeracion de la bomba o bien...

En el día de hoy vamos a analizar un nuevo kit de refrigeración líquida todo en uno, en esta ocasión de la mano de Cryorig. Pero no penséis desde ya “bah, otra refrigeración líquida más” porque ésta es muy especial; se trata de la Cryorig A40...

Eins haben alle AiOs gemeinsam: Sie kommen mit unnötig überdimensionierten Lüftern daher, welche hierzulande kaum Gefallen finden werden. Sicher erlangen die Hersteller damit noch das letzte Quäntchen Leistung, nötigt ist das jedoch nicht. Auch bei...

Firma Cryorig przez ostatnie lata poczyniła olbrzymi postęp na rynku chłodzenia procesorów. Pomimo wielu świetnych coolerów producent ten nie osiadł na laurach i przygotował nową serię A, która zapoczątkowała rozwiązania AiO. Model A40 Ultimate, który...

When it comes to the cooling performance the A40 Ultimate has to offer, it is definitely top-notch. Now, there are a few contributing factors to this. First, the dual QF120 fans help dissipate the heat from the radiator which is a bit thicker than the...

Осталось подвести итоги. Получилось ли у Cryorig на примере своих AIO решений A40/ A40 Ultimate/ A80 привнести в этот сегмент что-то новое? Ответ да безусловно. Если учесть что это первые устройства в ассортименте компании то остаётся только...

Дебютный продукт от специалистов из Thermalright, Prolimatech и Phanteks, ныне основавших фирму Cryorig, оказался крайне удачным. По сути Cryorig A40 Ultimate является бескомпромиссным решением для энтузиастов домашнего формата.Потрясающая...

Большинство поставщиков систем водяного охлаждения с замкнутым контуром используют одних и тех же OEM-производителей поэтому отличия между моделями кроются в деталях. Иногда компании пытаются выделиться ярким дизайном водоблока или подсветкой. Но в...
