Cryorig has stepped up its cooling game with the launch of its most ambitious air cooler to date, targeting high-performance processors and next-generation platforms.
Massive Cooling Capacity in a Dual-Tower Design
The Monster XX represents Cryorig's largest air cooling solution, featuring a dual-tower design with ten copper heat pipes. The cooler boasts an impressive 300W TDP cooling capacity, positioning it to handle the thermal demands of current and upcoming high-end processors from both Intel and AMD.

| Introducing the Cryorig Monster XX, designed for high-performance cooling with a powerful dual-tower configuration |
Key Specifications:
- Dimensions : 120 x 133mm with 159mm height
- Heat Pipes : 10 copper heat pipes
- Fan Configuration : Dual 120mm ARGB fans (with option for third fan)
- Fan Speed : 800-1800 RPM
- Airflow : Up to 58.47 CFM
- Air Pressure : 1.35mm H2O
- Noise Level : 31.5 dBA
Broad Platform Compatibility
The Monster XX offers extensive socket support including:
- Intel: LGA1851 (newest), LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115X
- AMD: AM5, AM4
Enhanced Cooling Features
The cooler incorporates dense heatsink blocks with specialized grooves for optimal airflow. The pre-installed ARGB fans support PWM control and can be managed through motherboard BIOS or fan control software. For enthusiasts seeking maximum cooling performance, an additional 120mm fan can be mounted.
Design Considerations
While the Monster XX is slightly taller than its predecessor (the TE10), it actually features fewer heatsink units (86 vs. 88). However, this design choice is compensated by upgraded fans delivering higher air pressure. The trade-off comes in the form of increased noise levels, with the Monster XX operating at 31.5 dBA compared to the TE10's 19-26 dBA range.
Availability and Pricing
Cryorig has yet to announce official pricing or specific release dates. The launch is expected to align with Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200S processors. Market positioning suggests it will compete with other premium dual-tower coolers in terms of pricing.
The Monster XX appears to be a compelling option for enthusiasts and overclockers, particularly those planning builds around high-TDP processors like the Intel Core i9-14900K or AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D series.
