just to be clear on this, its only 95W TDP or higher, with a Noctua fan being swapped.
not with its stock fan.
you have to swap a Noctua fan, to get 95W TDP.

Thermalright announced a „new“ cooler the axp 90R Full which is 32mm in height. With a Noctua cooler you get the desired 46mm. I’m interested in how this cools a 3700x
With several mentions of the Cryorig C7 variants over the last few pages, I thought some of you might be interested in this video:
TL;DR - Cryorig C7 G = C7 Cu > C7
TL;DR - Cryorig C7 G = C7 Cu > C7
The C7G is only a Color choice. A several posts back you will see it’s about the height that the cooler doesn’t perform that great in the sentry. This is why I mentioned the Thermalright AXP 90-R Full copper dir it’s less height maybe it will perform better?
Their page states it is designed specifically for DAN A4 if I understand correctly, that's cool and makes us the target group also. But I did not find if it has AM4 mount solution. Does it?
EDIT: it does.
not at stock settings.
C7 copper or graphene have to be used with a Noctua fan, to perform at 95W TDP.
also, mods need to be made so the airgap is 2mm more.
Ah ok, I was confused because I don’t see anywhere on their product page that the AXP 90-R was Designer for the DAN A4. The black ridge is designed for this case.
Anyway I’m interested in the thermals with this cooler. Seems like it checks everything from height to material choice.
Alright now I see it too. Does somebody have this cooler or is planning to get?
Basically Cryorig didn't apply the Graphene coating correctly. Thats why theres basically no difference between the C7 Cu vs. C7G.
I paid 252 Euro with shipping to Germany. Unfortunately the units are sold out though. It will probably take quite a while until new units will be on sale.

As a physicist I don't think that is the problem. The problem is that it doesn't matter which thermal conductivity your outer very thin layer has if everything else has the same conductivity as before. The large chunk of copper that is the base material will still determine the overall thermal conductivity. Putting a very high performing outer layer on an otherwise unchanged heatsink is like putting racing tires on a Fiat 500.

Fun fact - you know what Cryorig still can't do properly with C7G? You can't mount the cooler on AM4 with just included wrench/screwdriver because you need to move the standoff/distance screws and the included wrench/screwdriver can't be used for those. They are pretty tightly screwed in. You need a flat 8 mm wrench for that regardless of the fact that included wrench/screwdriver thing is 8 mm as well.
Replaced the fan with noctua one. On low RPMs the noise tone is better and is somewhat tolerable. On full load it still whines though.

Damn are you saying I won't be running faster with those sports shoes I just bought ? I feel scammed 
haha
Yea about the graphene coating there won't be much difference, the base itself is still copper so the CPU > Radiator thermal transfert will be the same. Then maybe, a big maybe, somehow the thermal transfert between copper > graphene > air is a bit better than copper > air. But even that might not be a big difference.
It does indeed look a lot better though, like the noctua chromax stuff.
Oh yea I remember that ! And i had to move the legs of the heatsink and it was a mess too ! And also I had to cut the backplate because the Intel holes part was dangerously close of some component at the back of the motherboard, the Cryorig experience haha
