CPS PCCooler has launched the TR620M X, a relatively compact dual-tower air cooler with a single fan. However, that single fan can spin up to 5000RPM, faster than most other PC cooling fans on the market. 

According to ITHome, the heatsink measures 115x106x94mm and uses a pure-copper, nickel-plated, reflow-soldered base. The same source states that the heatsink towers are treated with an anti-oxidation spray coating and utilise six 6mm heat pipes to transfer the thermal energy generated by the CPU.

Airflow is provided by a single fan (100x100x25) equipped with a Japanese NMB dual ball bearing. The fan operates at a maximum speed of 5000±10%RPM, delivering a maximum airflow of 105.42CFM and a static pressure of 11.85mmH2O. These figures, as you'd expect, come with a pretty high noise level, up to 45.66dB(A).

According to the official product description, the TR620M X supports a wide range of mainstream workstation platforms. Compatibility includes Intel LGA3647 (narrow type) and 4677, as well as AMD sTRX4, sWRX8, TR4, SP3, TR5, SP5, and SP6. The TR620M X is currently available in China for 439 yuan (£48), with an initial launch price of 339 yuan (£37). Availability outside the Chinese market has not yet been provided.

KitGuru says: For the general consumer, something like the PCCooler TR620M X cooler may be a bit too loud. However, if you don't mind the noise, it should offer a good amount of performance. 

ID-Cooling is continuing its aggressive expansion of the Frozn lineup with the launch of the Frozn A620 SLK. This new CPU air cooler introduces a “hybrid” architecture , integrating two “half-tower” fin stacks into a single 160mm-tall unit.

The primary innovation of the Frozen A620 SLK (via ITHome) is its heatsink design. Unlike most dual-tower coolers with two separate heatsink blocks, the Frozn A620 SLK has only one large heatsink with enough space to fit a 120x25mm fan in the middle. This embedded central fan and an external front fan are positioned in opposition to create high-velocity airflow through the fins. The central fan is the AM-120-K, a 120×25 unit capable of reaching 2500 RPM with a static pressure of 3.65 mmAq. This fan utilises a tool-less mounting system for easy maintenance. To ensure maximum RAM compatibility, ID-Cooling has paired this with the AF-120 SLIM (120×15) in the front, which provides 65.2 CFM of airflow despite its 15 mm low-profile frame.

Thermal transfer is handled by six 6mm heat pipes and a precision-machined copper base, enabling a nominal TDP of 260W. This puts the SLK in direct competition with many larger, bulkier dual-tower coolers that often interfere with high-profile memory modules or VRM heatsinks. The 160mm height ensures broad compatibility with standard mid-tower cases.

Compatibility is also a major highlight, as ID-Cooling is already looking ahead. In addition to current staples like Intel's LGA 1700/1851 and AMD's AM4/AM5, the Frozn A620 SLK officially supports the upcoming Intel FCLGA1954 socket. This inclusion suggests that the cooler is prepared for the next generation of Intel desktop processors.

KitGuru says: ID-Cooling was very creative with its fin stack geometry. By sandwiching a full-sized fan between two halves of a tower and slapping a slim fan on the front, they've essentially built a smaller dual-tower cooler that won't bully your RAM. 

Scythe is preparing to launch a new affordable CPU cooler – the SCMR-1000, better known as the Magoroku. First teased at the end of last year, this dual-tower heatsink is finally nearing its retail debut with a price tag that takes direct aim at the current budget kings.

As noted by Cowcotland, despite the entry-level pricing, Scythe hasn't skimped on the aesthetic or extras. The Magoroku features a clean design topped with black fin plates on each tower for a more premium finish. The bundle is surprisingly generous, including not only the standard mounting hardware but also an additional set of fan clips, allowing users to “think big” and add a third 120mm fan for a triple-push-pull configuration.

Standing at 155mm tall in its standard form, the Magoroku is relatively compact for a dual-tower design, making it compatible with a wide range of mid-tower chassis. While the default height suggests a 35mm limit for RAM modules, the front fan can be offset to accommodate larger kits, though this will increase the total cooler height up to roughly 177mm. The heatsink uses six 6mm nickel-plated heat pipes and a nickel-plated copper base.

For active cooling, Scythe is leaning on its latest Wonder Tornado 120mm PWM fans. These 26mm-thick units use an FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) and spin up to 2000 RPM, delivering a rated airflow of 60.29 CFM.

Socket compatibility is quite vast, covering AMD's AM4/AM5 and Intel's LGA 115x, 1200, 1700, and 1851. Moreover, Scythe includes a 1g syringe of 4.0 W/mK thermal paste rather than a single-use package.
