INTRODUCTION

   Up until even just a couple of years back when people went out to get a brand new CPU cooler they'd consider three things before doing so cooling efficiency/performance, noise levels and size (leaving out the all-time classic factor price). Lately however thanks to the introduction of RGB lighting a fourth factor has come into play and it is no other than looks. Now as expected to achieve the optimal result most manufacturers choose the "easy" way by bundling their CPU coolers (both air and AIO liquid ones) with RGB fans but lucky for all of us there are always those who take things just a step further by also adding RGB LEDs in the main body of the cooler. Jonsbo aims to be one such manufacturer with all their latest RGB models including the CR-201 RGB CPU Cooler which today's review is all about.

   Jonsbo, a professional team with full of passion and innovation, is established in 2010. Our developed team possesses over a decade experience in computer case development and 7 years’ experience in HTPC product's R&D. We have always been focusing on the users’ actual needs to develop and produce professional high-end computer cases with distinctive characteristics. Currently we use JONSBO as the brand for global marketing, moreover we provide OEM and ODM services for many famous brands in Japan, Germany, Sweden, etc. Jonsbo always focus on the real needs of users. By pragmatic and even stubborn selection of materials, combined with aesthetic simplicity of design and perfect craftsmanship, we provide users with the most valuable solution.

   As the name clearly states the CR-201 RGB CPU cooler is pretty much identical to the "regular" CR-201 model minus the RGB feature of course (also currently available in white and black colors). As mentioned earlier to achieve the best possible looks Jonsbo didn't just strap a RGB fan onto the main body of the cooler but they also added RGB LEDs on top of the heatsink under a tempered glass cover. Both the RGB LEDs on the fan and beneath the tempered glass cover can be controlled either via your mainboard 4-pin RGB header or via a bundled LED controller which allows you to choose between 7 different colors (if your mainboard doesn't have an RGB header). Thanks to the medium-sized heatsink, direct-touch base, four 6mm copper-heatpipes and a 120mm PWM fan (1600RPM/45.08CFM/26.1dBA) the CR-201 RGB CPU Cooler by Jonsbo sports a TDP (thermal design power) of 135W.
