Cryorig A40 240mm Hybrid AIO CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look

Since this is an AIO unit, the radiator, hoses and the pump come pre-fitted and filled, meaning it’s ready to plug-and-play on your system. There’s a fan controller built into the unit too, so you only need one motherboard fan header to connect everything and a SATA connector to power the unit.

The CPU block comes with thermal paste pre-installed, and a protective plastic cover to ensure it gets to you intact.

There’s a large copper contact plate which should provide your CPU of choice with excellent coverage. The Intel mounting bracket is pre-installed, but can be easily removed and replaced with the AMD bracket as required.

The radiator is a slim type but still has a decent thickness to it and tightly packed fins to give it a good amount of surface area. This is a high-end cooler, despite being the base model from Cryorig, so we’re expecting this radiator to be able to handle a decent amount of heat with ease.
