INTRODUCTION

   AIO (all-in-one) liquid CPU coolers may be the go to solution currently for the majority of gamers, enthusiasts and professionals looking for the best possible cooling efficiency (without breaking the bank that is) but as expected CPU Air Coolers are nowhere near to be replaced by them mainly because of their extremely hard to beat price/performance ratio. Thanks to the somewhat recent "appearance" of RGB illumination AIO Liquid CPU Coolers may have further raised in popularity (pretty much due to the great looking fan/pump RGB lighting combination) but CPU Air Coolers didn't fall far behind and so there are currently quite a few models in the market also featuring RGB illumination. The H7 Quad Lumi is CRYORIG's RGB illuminated CPU Air Cooler and after quite a bit of wait it finally found its way on our test bench.

   CRYORIG was officially founded in 2013, but took several years in the making. We began our journey right at the start of the first decade of the 2000’s. During what was the most prosperous age of PC DIY and Overclocking. Members of our team have either worked directly or indirectly with brands such as Thermalright, Prolimatech, Phanteks and many more. We ourselves are overclockers and PC modding enthusiasts, with a passion and drive to strive for improvement. With direct knowledge of manufacturing and design as well as holding multiple patents under our collective belt, we decided to make a name for ourselves, and that name is CRYORIG. So what is CRYORIG exactly? CRYORIG is about making the coolest rig possible.

   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. Now for the H7 Quad Lumi CRYORIG took a different path compared to other CPU Air Cooler models so instead of using one or two RGB fans they married a QF120 white LED PWM fan (1600RPM/59CFM/25dBA/1.65mmH2O) with two RGB LED strips placed both at the top and bottom of the heatsink. Of course this was done because at the time of its release CRYORIG didn't have an RGB fan (that should change in a month or so) but as you will see later on this fan/LED strip combination (adjustable by an NZXT CAM controller built-in the cooler - CRYORIG should release their very own solution soon) looks very nice. The H7 Quad Lumi also features a TDP (thermal design power) of 160W and is a zero clearance model meaning you can use any memory module in the market regardless of height.
