CRYORIG has a new take on the venerable closed-loop liquid CPU cooler, addressing concerns about the temps of surrounding components on the board by including a reversible fan which mounts to the CPU block.
“The CRYORIG’s A40/A40 Ultimate and A80 HLC units are built on the base of Asetek’s 5th Generation Pump and CPU Cold Block technology with a small but obvious twist. With an additional adjustable and detachable Airflow fan, the CRYORIG A Series HLC is capable of lowering the temperatures of the components surrounding the CPU by up to 20%.”
There are three models in the series, with a standard 240 mm width A40, the A40 Ultimate which features a thicker 1.5-inch radiator (38.5 mm vs. 27.5 mm), and the 280 mm A80.
The company has released this slick video to demonstrate the difference this additional fan makes:
It’s an interesting concept and certainly any airflow over motherboard components it better than none, though I am slightly worried about increased noise from the 70 mm pump-mounted fan providing the hybrid cooling.
The new coolers are being released in Japan on November 5, with “mid-to-late November” promised for worldwide availability.
Should we be looking forward
Should we be looking forward to a review from you guys? I’m genuinely curious how that works and if the fan is anything special or a nuisance.

If your case has proper airflow over the motherboard, then that is not needed.
VRM heatsinks are design around there being active airflow over them (either from a fan on the CPU heatsink or a case fan).

AssTick’s garbage. I still can’t believe such great company as Cryorig has sold their souls to AssTrash. A very sad day indeed.
