14 DAY TRIAL // Many low-profile CPU coolers have a base that the heatsink is directly connected to, or the heatsink itself makes direct contact with the chip die, but the one that Cryorig has just launched is different.
Since heatpipes are reckoned as the best means to pull heat out of a processor, that's what the Cryorig C1 ITX uses.
Specifically, the cooler has four nickel-plated copper heatpipes that deliver the heat to the surprisingly large aluminum fin-stack.
The overall dimensions aren't know yet, since Cryorig has only provided a couple of teaser photos and nothing more, but other bare essentials have been shared besides the heatpipes.
For one, the fan is a 140 mm XT140 PWM model, meaning it will spin faster or slower depending on load.
Also, both Intel and AMD CPU/APU sockets are supported, though the full list won't be known for a while. Probably until the product launch, which is supposed to take place in May.
Right now, Cryorig is still testing the C1 ITX cooler, probably to ensure that compatibility is as wide as it claims. Or maybe it's the TDP (thermal design power) that it's still gauging.
Further leaks may or may not slip to the web by the time May 2014 rolls around.
