The PCCooler CPS RZ820 Display is presented as a new flagship-level CPU air cooler featuring an integrated LCD screen. While the design incorporates elements seen in other eight-pipe coolers, it aims to position itself as a top competitor in the CPU air cooling market.
This dual-tower cooler features varying-sized heat pipes (eight in total), a substantial amount of copper and aluminum, and an enormous pre-cooler system for heat dissipation. The manufacturer highlights that this design demonstrates significant advancements in the field of air cooling.
The RZ820 Display is noted for its ability to perform well, even when compared against AIO liquid coolers traditionally considered superior to air cooling methods. It was designed to be an impressive solution accessible to a wider audience, especially considering it comes from a lesser-known brand like CPS or PCCooler.
In terms of thermal design, the cooler incorporates several engineering features, including shaped fins and captured sides, contributing to its overall performance. The fan configuration includes a high-speed, high-pressure intake fan designed to move heat out the back towers. An additional 140mm fan assists by forcing air through the second tower efficiently.
The integration of a pre-cooler is cited as a major functional aspect; this large aluminum fin section reduces significant amounts of heat before it reaches the main fins, which was noted during testing.
Installation features include a slider system on the intake for easier assembly. A separate center fan is positioned using rubber pads to prevent rattling and slides into place without requiring a click or locking mechanism.
A distinctive feature is the five-inch LCD display, which has a resolution of 1280×720. This screen requires the complimentary CPS Display software to operate fully. The accompanying software provides monitoring for PC metrics such as CPU speeds, temperatures, and HDD usage. Furthermore, it allows users the customization capability to upload and display custom video or still images.
The cooler is priced at $89.99. According to the review, this price point offers a combination of features—including superior thermal performance among tested air coolers, a customizable screen, and software—at a cost significantly lower than comparable ‘flagship’ models from larger manufacturers.
