Cooling Cryorig "Cu" cooler ETA?

[SFF2008]

Has there been any updates as to when Cryorig will release their "Cu" line of coolers? Specifically the C7 Cu.

When I spoke to Steve at Computex in June, he indicated that the models on show were simply the aluminum version done in copper. In order to prepare the heatsinks for production in copper, they have to go through the entire engineering process a second time. Going through this process right now, I can tell you the optimization of a heatsink is incredibly time and resource intensive. You need to account for fin spacing, optimal base to fin and pipe to fin contact area, fan specification, contact area, airflow (or lack thereof) surrounding the heatsink, etc. Once you've run a multitude of simulations (we've been running simulations for at least six weeks) you actually have to go to prototyping and then production. With this in mind, I'd be floored if we see the heatsinks in 2017.

Does anyone have an estimation of much of a thermal dissipation improvement that Cu version will offer over the standard model? In addition, how well do you estimate that the Cu version would compare with the ID-Cooling IS-60?

Best comparison of any relevance would be this review of the LP53:

On the majority of tests, the LP53 outperformed the L9i by around 6 degrees Celsius. It is worth noting that the LP53 is 2mm taller (9%) when compared with the L9i, so it would stand to reason that a reduction of the LP53's height to match would probably change the delta a bit. Considering the current Cryorig C7 performs roughly on par or slightly ahead of the L9i, I would expect the Cu version to perform accordingly.

Just messaged Cryorig via their FB page, end of March expected release was their reply.... Cool!

Hope this will happen. Wasn’t it originally coming last year already? My wraith spire is absolutely too loud in my node 202 and I need replacement for it ASAP. Noctua nh-l9a would be the one but can’t buy it if this is coming

It can't come soon enough!
