The first decаde of thе 2000’s wаs the mоst prоspеrous аge of PC DIY and Ovеrclоcking. That was exаctly the time whеn CRYORIG was offіcially fоunded. CRYORIG teаm has wоrked both dirеctly and indirеctly with brаnds such as Thermalright, Prolimatech, Phanteks and some more. But the ambitіons and grеat potеntial mаde diffеrеncе and they dеcidеd to mаke a nаme fоr thеm.


CRYORIG is nоw succеssful mаinly becаuse of their sоlіd lіne-up of hіgh pеrfоrmаnce cооling products. Thеy hаve bееn rapіdly expаndіng into vаriоus markеts.

You get your CRYORIG …

Thermaltake, a world-known producer of thermal solutions, chassis and PSU, has officially presented its new CPU cooler modification, codenamed BigTyp Revo. This model has already been introduced at Computex 2012 where it got a lot of encouraging reviews and good prospects for the sale campaign. BigTyp Revo is considered to be an efficient solution for the cooling down of the around-socket spacing due to the horizontal radiator localization. Thermaltake representatives underline that their new product is compatible with Intel (LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011) and AMD (Socket AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1) platforms.



BigTyp Revo framework consists of a compact radiator, low-noise fan, five heat pipes and a set of aluminum plates. The new model has got an aluminum base and is furnished with five copper heat pipes (6 mm each). Each of the pipes directly 'gets in touch' with the CPU surface, providing an outstanding heat removal power. The top of the radiator accommodates 120 mm fan which can be …
