Conclusion and Verdict
The C1 is one more interesting cooler from CRYORIG. It’s high quality product which is hard to replace by any competitive product. We had a chance to test similar build Scythe Kabuto 3 which has larger heatsink but performs worse. Cryorig C1 performs better but at the cost of louder fan. Some users probably won’t mind but there are some who care about silence. For those I still can recommend CRYORIG C1 as long as they won’t overclock processor too high or simply want to use the C1 with lower series processors at lower TDP.
CRYORIG C1 has one important advantage which is easy installation and full compatibility with probably all motherboards. Even though I was using DIMM M.2 card then I could install the C1 other way and it was still perfect. The same can make users who have really tall memory modules. Under the heatsink can be installed something like Ballistix Elite, G.Skill Trident Z or Corsair Vengeance LED.
CRYORIG C1 is covered by six years warranty what is awesome. It just confirms high quality of this product.
Amazon is selling the C1 for about $65. It’s a good price as we can’t really find good competition for this cooler.
Final words:
If you are looking for top performing low height cooler for your ITX gaming rig or HTPC then CRYORIG C1 is for sure one of the best options on the market. It’s high quality product with long warranty which looks great.
CRYORIG C1 is clearly worth FunkyKit’s recommendation!
