Description
The Jonsbo CR1400 EVO redefines the entry-level tower cooler market by balancing a compact 92mm footprint with a robust 180W TDP capacity. Standing at just 130mm tall, it fits comfortably in most Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX cases where larger 120mm coolers fail to clear the side panel. The integrated RGB lighting and carbon fiber texture top cover provide a premium aesthetic that belies its budget-friendly positioning, making it an ideal choice for users who want both style and substance.
This product is for:
- ITX and Small Form Factor (SFF) builders requiring a high-performance cooler under 135mm in height.
- Budget-conscious gamers looking to replace loud stock Intel or AMD coolers for better acoustics and thermals.
- Users with mid-range CPUs like the Intel Core i5-13400 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 who need reliable 180W TDP headroom.
- Aesthetic-focused builders who want synchronized RGB lighting and a clean, hidden heat pipe design.
- System integrators seeking a durable cooling solution with a 3-year warranty and universal socket support.
Detailed specifications:
- Dimensions: 92mm (L) x 70mm (W) x 130mm (H)
- Heat Pipes: 4 x 6mm high-efficiency copper direct-touch pipes
- Fan Speed: 800 - 2200 RPM (±10%) via 4-Pin PWM control
- Airflow & Pressure: 11.95 - 38.2 CFM; 0.25 - 2.0 mmH2O static pressure
- Noise Level: 22.3 - 33.8 dB(A) for quiet operation
- Socket Compatibility: Intel LGA 1700/1200/115X; AMD AM4/AM5
- Bearing Type: Long-life Hydraulic Bearing (40,000h MTBF)
Installation is straightforward thanks to the redesigned mounting hardware that supports the latest LGA 1700 and AM5 platforms. In real-world testing, the 92mm PWM fan remains whisper-quiet during idle tasks and maintains a manageable hum even at its 2200 RPM peak. The direct-touch heat pipe base ensures rapid heat transfer from the CPU integrated heat spreader (IHS) to the aluminum fin stack, effectively preventing thermal throttling during intensive gaming sessions or productivity workloads.
Compared to the previous CR1400 generation, the EVO version features an optimized fin surface area and improved fan blade geometry for better static pressure. While larger 120mm coolers like the CR1000 EVO offer slightly lower temperatures, the CR1400 EVO is the superior choice for narrow chassis where clearance is the primary constraint. It significantly outperforms standard low-profile "pancake" coolers by utilizing a vertical tower design to exhaust heat directly out of the rear case fan.
Q&A:
- Does the Jonsbo CR1400 EVO fit the Intel LGA 1700 socket? Yes, it includes dedicated mounting brackets for Intel LGA 1700, 1200, and 115X sockets.
