[UPDATED]Cryorig coming out with hybrid water cooling soon

[Agent181]

Update 6/3/15 Here are some pics of the hybrid cooler that was announced a while back
 

 

 

 
 

 

 

Water coolers typically don't generate any airflow around the CPU socket, leaving the VRMs and memory to rely on ambient airflow within the chassis. Cryorig's A Series hybrid is different, though. Its water block has an angled 70-mm fan that can be configured to blow toward or away from different regions of the socket.

The PWM-based spinner can scale up to 3,000 RPM, and speeds are adjusted "intelligently" based on the CPU temperature. But it's unclear whether the fan control logic can be tweaked—or if the fan can be plugged into a motherboard header.  At the very least, the approach seems to work. Check out the following thermal imagery, which is likely a worst-case scenario with minimal ambient airflow.

 

Cryorig's hybrid lineup includes three models to start, all of which have double-length radiators. The A40 straps dual 120-mm fans to a 1"-thick radiator, while the A40 Ultimate uses a beefier 1.5" unit. Larger 140-mm fans can be found on the A80, whose heat-exchanger lacks Ultimate girth. Expect to see all of them for sale this summer.-tech report Geoff Gasior

This is a preview from their youtube channel from a thermal imaging camera.


I'm really looking forward to this, all you see now are asatek rebrands for water coolers. Maybe this hybrid cooler can be better than the 240x, cm seidon or the x61.

Yayyyyy cryorig

I hope they really become a 'thing' soon. Idk why, I just like cryorig a lot, don't even have any of their products

[Nomy]

I am really starting to like Cryorig. They've been releasing some great stuff lately.

Weird that I've never heard of them a year ago.

[TheKDub]

Very interesting...

I wonder when actual photos of it will be released. (That way we can tell what it looks like )

[Misanthrope]

Umm don't we have this hybrid solutions already, commonly known as decent fucking cases with good fans and airflow?

Nope. I want hybrid water cooling so I can have no case fans like a man would.

I have to call BS on that video. How is the cooler in the middle, changing the thermal output of the bits around the CPU socket that it isn't touching?

 

Doesn't make sense.

[VSG]

I haven't seen the video yet but that's not all they are coming out with: http://www.cryorig.com/news.php?id=43&page=1

[AHaskin14]

Love the idea. Cooling solutions have always interested me a great deal.

[FroggyTaco]

I wonder if what we are seeing is the more effective cooling minimizing heat soak across the motherboard?

 

Def need more details though.

[Megahurt]

So there's a fan on top ot the pump/block ?

[Agent181]

welp not gonna be my new cpu cooler after all

[Opcode]

Pretty nice for overclocking if the loop offers excellent performance and if you aim that fan at the VRM.

The fan on top is angled. It blows down around the pump and there cools stuff around the pump... Rocket sciene, i know..

That comment was made before op updated the thread with pictures, the more you know...

[JAKEBAB]

Hmm.... I don't know how i feel about this I think i wish the fan was gone because i like the block/pump design, does anyone know if you can remove the fan?

[AlwaysFSX]

Tiny fan? Hell no.

[silberdrachi]

So the point of AIO cooling to me is to allow you to run larger fans and spin slower because you are using the liquid to pull heat away from the block. This improves cooling as well as reduces fan noise..

 

So why would i put a 70mm fan on top, to cool things that i have never heard of someone ever having an issue with cooling with AIOs.

 

Are you really telling me Cryorig that if i use an AIO on my cpu that my mosfets are going to melt through the board or something? Sure they might run hotter but its not like its outside of the design specifications.

[TorqueS]

Just because you haven't  ran into any trouble yet, doesn't mean it's not there.

I think this is a good solution for AMD rigs(yeah I know). Most OCers on AM3+ would stick some 40mm-50mm fans on the VRM rad to cool it. 

Mine is still ok, my hand-o-thermometer says that it's about 65-70 degrees during load, which isn't too high, but it's not too good either, I might switch to that when it comes out.

 

And yeah, it's as you say, the part with " they might run hotter but its not like its outside of the design specifications." but you know, there are some people(like myself) obsessed with low temps. I heard people having no trouble running FXs at 65-70 degrees and mine barely passes 50 degrees and still I'm kinda worried. So...

[MrDynamicMan]

Tiny fan no no purpose other than to ever so slightly cool ram? Um...

Its a proper hybrid when when there are both find stacks and a loop, until then it's a aio with.a fan

Not impressed. By hybrid I thought it would be like an Asus Poseidon where it was liquid cooling on top of a full air cooler.
