Cryorig has announced the release of two new low-profile CPU coolers: the C5 and the C5 Copper. These coolers are designed to offer a compelling combination of a compact form factor and significant heat dissipation capabilities, making them suitable for ultra-compact PC builds utilizing powerful processors with Thermal Design Power (TDP) ratings of up to 185 Watts.
The core cooling mechanism of both models revolves around a heatsink integrated with a vapor chamber. The standard C5 model features an aluminum heatsink and is rated for CPUs with a TDP of up to 160 Watts. The higher-end C5 Copper, as its name implies, utilizes a copper heatsink, enabling it to effectively cool processors with a TDP of up to 185 Watts.
Both coolers are equipped with a 90 mm fan that can reach a maximum rotational speed of 3400 revolutions per minute (RPM), with a stated maximum noise level of 36.7 dB(A). Cryorig has confirmed that these new coolers are compatible with a wide range of popular CPU sockets, including Intel’s LGA 1151, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, and the upcoming LGA 1851, as well as AMD’s AM4 and AM5 platforms.
The Cryorig C5 and C5 Copper share the same compact dimensions of 96.8 x 96.8 x 54 mm (width x depth x height). In terms of pricing, the Cryorig C5 is listed at $40 USD, while the more powerful Cryorig C5 Copper is priced at $70 USD in the United States. These new low-profile coolers offer an attractive solution for users looking to maximize cooling performance in space-constrained PC builds.
