The TRYX Turris 620 is a dual-tower air CPU cooler featuring a magnetically-attached 5-inch IPS display as a standout feature. It received a final rating of 7.8/10 and was awarded the Renewal Award, with the reviewer noting it is a very good product despite some drawbacks that do not likely affect the end user.
The product is priced at $110 USD. The cooler specifications include a 280W TDP rating, 165mm CPU cooler clearance, and dimensions of 127.5x135x159mm for the heatsink.
In terms of build quality, the cooler is larger than typical for its class, measuring 165.5 x 135 x 165mm. The fully assembled unit weighed 1850g, with the heatsink alone weighing 1054g, making it the heaviest air cooler tested by the reviewer.
The internal design features six 6mm heatpipes running through both towers in a U-shape, effectively totaling twelve heatpipes. The heatsink is constructed from aluminum fins (89 regular plus 15 smaller) with a nickel-plated copper contact base.
The cooling system utilizes two 120mm PWM fans that use fluid dynamic bearings and a rail-mount system for tool-free installation.
Optimization for installation was straightforward, including an included manual, standard backplate/bracket mounting, and the inclusion of thermal paste. The design also allows for RAM clearance, as the front fan can be shifted upward if necessary.
The cooling software, named KANALI, provides a dashboard for hardware monitoring. The TURRIS page allows users to select preset display animations, overlay up to three system-stat readouts, and add CPU/GPU badges and custom media such as photos, GIFs, or videos.
However, the software has limitations: files must be uploaded one at a time, and text font/size are not adjustable.
Testing was conducted using an Intel Core i9 14900K with a 250–300W draw. Under idle conditions, the temperature measured 25°C, rivaling AIO liquid coolers.
Under load testing using Prime95 (250–300W), the idle temperature was 73°C, with no throttling. This result was about 10°C higher than that of AIO liquid coolers, but was considered strong for air cooling at this TDP.
Airflow measurement measured 6.1 km/h (3.8 mph) at the exhaust.
Noise levels were approximately 40dBA at maximum speed and were rated a subjective 3/10, described as noticeable but quiet; the cooler was near-silent at idle.
Suggestions for improvement focused on enhancing the software experience, including multi-file upload support in KANALI, adjustable text font/size, and offering an AMOLED screen option for richer colors.
Overall, the TRYX Turris 620 is presented as a visually striking, premium-priced air cooler that successfully balances excellent thermal and acoustic performance with near-unlimited display personalization. It is considered a strong choice for buyers prioritizing aesthetics and performance in one package.
