The Best CPU Air Cooler, Vast Improvement Over Hyper 212 EVO

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

This CPU cooler is great. If you're considering the Hyper 212 EVO, this cooler improves upon almost every shortcoming of the 212, which itself is a great cooler despite them. First of all and most importantly, the temperatures are some of the best you'll ever get from air cooling. The fan is nearly silent and the honeycomb heatsink does a superb job of dissipating heat. Next, and almost everyone's major complaint about the 212, the CRYORIG H7 shifts the entire heatsink block away from your RAM DIMMs by about an inch, give or take. As a result, you won't have to touch the fan to get it to fit over any RAM heatsink. As the fan stops short of overlapping the first DIMM, you can use RAM with any size heatsink and have no issue whatsoever with clearance. Finally, the aesthetics are a level above similar coolers. The black matte material on the top looks great with any build and the white fan is vibrant in a case with a window, especially with any kind of lighting. Installation is pretty simple although I recommend you install it on your CPU before you screw your motherboard into its case. I installed it after and it was a bit of a challenge without an extra set of hands.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased I cancelled an order for another 212 when I learned of the CRYORIG H7. Temps are equal if not marginally better than the 212 and the value for money is unbeatable. Great build quality, great aesthetics, great compatability, a huge tube of thermal paste, and admirable performance for casual to mid level overclocking. What more could you want?

High quality, great looks and great price!

There are cheaper coolers out there, but at this price point I don't think they look as good! The Cryorig is easy to install, clears my RAM easily and is fairly quite with the stock fan. I ended up throwing a Noctua on it as I always do and its even more silent. Water cooling will never take me alive!

Weird defect on mine, but still a stunning cooler

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

Edit 2: Star restored. I can't hold a wild, random defect against Cryorig. At idle speeds, temperatures were outstanding. It was just under load that things got out of hand. Because they clearly make a great product and everything else about the cooler was perfect, I'm putting that fifth star back.

Edit: Have to remove a star. While using my H7, I noticed that my temperatures were creeping back up, so I pulled the cooler off the CPU to make sure the MX-4 thermal paste hadn't failed, and what I saw can only be described as the Red Sea: the center of the CPU (where the cores are) was almost bare, with the paste having collected on the sides. I cleaned and reapplied the MX-4, this time using the pea method instead of the line, and within a day had the same results: naked cores and paste halo'ed around the perimeter of the CPU. I tried again with Arctic Silver 5, which I've seen spread a little better than MX-4...same thing happened. Finally, it occurred to me that maybe I should just use the included CP7 paste, because it was designed for this thing, right?

Same problem. It halo'ed. I was stumped, and it was only after talking with a couple of Micro Center employees that the light bulb clicked on: the only thing that would cause that type of spread pattern is a warped heat spreader. I cleaned off all the paste and (don't try this at home, kids) slowly ran my bare thumb across the spreader. It's incredibly slight, but it's there--the spreader isn't perfectly smooth. It angles ever so slightly, just enough that it could theoretically cause irregular spreading of thermal paste like what I saw. I'm not going to hammer Cryorig too hard for this because I've never heard a single complaint about the H7 and some random defects are completely unpreventable, but I do have to take one star off for a QA issue that's left me with a defective, underperforming heatsink.

Original review is below:

Epic win. Cinebench stress test load temps went from 78-80C on my old 92mm cooler to 63C max on the H7. I'm running an i7-4790K, stock speed and voltage for now. RealBench stress tests never went above 66C over an eight-hour test. Furmark's CPU Burner couldn't get it over 68C, Intel XTU didn't do any better, and even Prime95 (which is a really bad thing to do to a Haswell, so I only went 15 minutes) peaked at 70C. Best of all, this thing is silent in operation. I can't hear it over my case fans, even when two of those case fans are disabled entirely.

Installation is a bit tricky, as you need access to both sides of your motherboard at once, so I don't recommend the pea method of applying thermal paste as that might result in an uneven spread. Instead, I'd do a very thin line, top to bottom, down the center of the CPU. Don't waste your time and paste on funky little X patterns or a bunch of dots, and definitely don't spread the paste with a credit card or anything silly like that.

I have a TON of headroom to overclock with this, and the thermal paste hasn't even burned in yet. Speaking of thermal paste, I didn't use the included Cryorig CP7 paste with it. I went with Arctic MX-4 instead, a paste that I know well and know works. I've never used CP7 and honestly can't say how it would have performed, but generally speaking, the difference between the top-tier thermal pastes and everything else is only 1-3 degrees Celsius. If you're one of those folks using custom water loops to get your CPU to a bazillion GHz by running a million jigawatts across the core, you need every last degree, but the CP7 should more than suffice for 90+% of PC users.

Oh, and the heatsink looks great.

First off, this is a re-write of my original review due to being sent a replacement fan, after having finally gotten a response from CryoRig's support. Now that that's out of the way;

This is the cooler I'll be recommending instead of the 212 evo for budget air cooling from now on. Sure, it's $10 more expensive. But here, $10 gets you a lot. The improvement starts with the box, beautifully laid out, and presenting the components neatly. The instructions are much simpler than the 212's, and assembly doesn't require a blood sacrifice. By making the X bracket part of the cooler itself, it eliminates a lot of the fiddling. Four screws total saves a lot of the hassle that the Evo has with both standoffs, and nuts.

The H7's offset design means that the fan clears high-profile heatsinks on ram. This is huge in a mATX build, and even some ATX. It's also shorter, which means it fits in more cases. I understand this is subjective, but the looks are far better, white, black, and silver, without the copper color, or stamped logos of other brands. The white and black fan spins quickly and silently, with a huge effective range, I've seen it sit stably at 280RPM. A sleeved fan cable gives the fan itself a little more strength, and looks nicer than a ribbon.

However, I can't give this a perfect review. My initial unit had a bad fan, which would only spin up when it was given more than 70% PWM power, and topped out at 880RPM, far from the rated 1600. Armed with my warranty card, which comes packed in a little silver packet, I contacted support (You have to do this through "Contact Us" on their site, the actual link doesn't work). After three days with no answer, I contacted them on Amazon, where they directed me to send them an email. Amazon automatically filters these out, and I couldn't see the address. I sent them a message explaining this, and got no reply. Two days later, I posted a negative review, and got a response that they had shipped me a new fan. Once I received it and replaced the faulty one on my unit, it runs perfectly. I still have to dock half a star for the initial flaw, and another half star for the slow support.

Great Value Cooler

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Was looking for a different brand of cooler but went for this as my case wasn't large enough for the one I wanted. Not to worry this dropped the temps on my 6700k by 10 degrees from the cooler originally installed. It's also much quieter. It's not the easiest of installs. After fitting the back plate, CPU and re-installing the mobo, realised the screws attach from behind the mobo so had to unplug everything remove it to install the cooler. (Possibly should have read the instructions more thoroughly). Have to say now it's up and running I'm very impressed, quiet, efficient and excellent value for money.

Cryorig H7 CPU Cooler contact plate is bow shaped

Reviewed in Canada on May 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Cryorig H7 CPU Cooler contact plate is bow shaped. I contacted Cryorig customer service twice and they will not respond. See picture one and two (close-up) above. I also purchased the Noctua NH-U9S CPU Cooler and this contact plate is also bow shaped as pictured on the Amazon.ca website. See third (close-up) picture above. Systemic public fraud.

I have a computer case which requires a cpu cooler shorter than 150mm in height. This limits my choices to the Cryorig H7 (145mm in height) or the Noctua NH-U9S (125mm in height). I kept the Cryorig H7 as I require a cpu cooler and it keeps my system at an average operating temperature of 35 degrees Celsius during normal use, and around 66-68 degrees Celsius when rendering videos. I have a Ryzen 7 1800x cpu on an MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard.

I returned the Noctua NH-U9S CPU Cooler without incident and received a full refund.

For those who are not aware, the metal contact plate on a cpu cooler is a heat sink requiring full flat contact against the top of the cpu chip to transfer/dissipate heat.
