TRYX TURRIS 620 Review – Have Your Cake And Eat It Too

Unboxing

TRYX is on quite the hot streak lately, releasing one great product after another; this time, we’re looking at the company’s first tower cooler in TURRIS 620, which unsurprisingly aims for the high-end segment with the usual bells and whistles, and then some. Opening this box reveals the pre-assembled cooler protected by thick foam packaging, whilst the accessories are all stored in a separate box, as shown above.

The accessories include screws and brackets for four socket types only: Intel LGA1700 (12th/13th/14th Gen Core), Intel LGA1851 (Arrow Lake), AMD Socket AM4, and AMD Socket AM5. On top of that, you’re given the neon green colored user manual, a TRYX a-01 thermal paste, and a screwdriver for easy access into the two bracket offset screws hidden within the middle fan.

Walkaround

The TRYX TURRIS 620’s dual-fan design meant that this tower cooler is quite bulky by its standards, although the company did its due diligence in making sure it doesn’t interfere with other parts, like RAM (we’ll talk about this in detail later in this review). This all-white build features two blocks of heatsinks, with a stacked fan design instead of the push-pull design that is also a pretty common configuration out there. Coming back to the heatsinks, we notice the exhaust side has concave sections similar to the ones you’ll find on the NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 FE GPU, presumably on the same principle to reduce turbulence and thus, noise.

At the bottom, you’ll find the claimed 280W cooling capacity is done by having twelve heatpipes splits into six each side, each taken care by one fan. In the center is the contact point between the cooler and the CPU, and right behind it is the offset plate that allows the cooler to be installed on different sockets. In our unit, the screws are placed on the ‘A’ side – stands for AMD – while the ‘U’ side is for Intel Core Ultra processors (LGA1851). For some reason, TRYX’s documentation didn’t mention the screw location for LGA1700 sockets, which we think is an oversight on their part.

The key feature of the TURRIS 620 is the 5-inch IPS display on the top of the cooler, occupying the top half of the surface (whereas the bottom half is simply a reflective surface). It’s got a 720p resolution (1280 x 720), 60Hz refresh rate, and 8-bit color (16.7M colors), and brightness rated up to 500 nits, which should be no problem for any kind of indoor environments.

It’s connected via a USB 2.0 connection that converts into pogo pins, with the display panel magnetically attached to the cooler to provide the power and signal. Like the TRYX STAGE 360 we reviewed before, the display module comes with a dedicated processor so it doesn’t eat into host system’s resources for telemetry or video display.

The cooling fans are the same TRYX ROTA 120 fans you’ll find in other TRYX AIOs, although in this case it has been slightly modified to include a rail slider bracket that allows you to simply slide the fans into the slot, greatly improve the ease of installation and removal if maintenance is ever required. On that note, TRYX took RAM clearance into account and allows the outward fan to extend slightly upward to free up more space for taller modules, up to 55mm. If you don’t require that extra space, simply push it downward and it’ll sit flush with the display attached.

Installation

We demonstrate the installation process with our Intel Core i9-13900K, based on the older LGA1700 socket. Start by slotting the backplate into the 78x78mm socket slot, then install the standoffs to secure it in place. Then, put the bracket plates horizontally – make sure to align the marked arrows toward the processor – then secure it with the locking screws. The installation process is highly similar on AMD sockets, except you don’t need the backplate in those cases.

Since we use LGA1700-based processor, there’s no exact documentation on where the screws should go. We decided to stick with the Core Ultra’s position and found no hotspots on the processor during our testing process. The spring-loaded screws should align, simply proceed if you can successfully align it to the bracket’s attachment points.

Here’s how it looks like with memory modules installed – our XPG LANCER kit is a relatively low-profile variant that allows the outward-facing cooler to stay at its default position. Those with RGB RAM kits will likely require extra space, for which you can simply push it upward to do so.

Performance

So, how did the dual-fan configuration perform in terms of cooling? Excellent – at 120W and 180W TDPs, the TURRIS 620 make light work of the heat and is the coolest of them all, and it’s even capable of keeping up with a power-hungry 250W Intel Core i9 with a small bit of thermal headroom to spare (it’s not on the same level as top-tier AIOs, but it’s pretty close).

This is pretty much the worst-case scenario given that Core Ultra processors runs much cooler at the socket, perhaps with the sole exception being the Core Ultra 9 285K with the 295W mode, itself very difficult to achieve in real-life workloads. Meanwhile, AMD processors don’t output as much heat at stock, so this is impressive considering all of these is done by air cooling.

*Note: we use our Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste as part of our standard testing, for the performance data on the included TRYX a-01 thermal paste, click here.

Despite being a dual-fan setup, the noise performance is way above our expectations by being one of the quietest in this list, measuring 42dBA even with both fans at full speed. TRYX employed some tricks for this, including a slightly offset fan speeds to avoid noise harmonics, and it does show in the result; that being said, pushing the fan to the limit will produce some whiny noise which you can hear for yourself in the sound file above (note that we increased the volume of this recording). Still, it’s about as quiet as you can expect out of a dual-fan cooler.

Software

In terms of software, we should note that there are two versions available on the website, and make sure you pick “KANALI for STAGE” before you begin. (For reference, the version we use at the time of this review is 2.1.0.)

For configuring TURRIS’s display, simply head to its section on the left panel and you can immediately start choosing the presets to display, as well as any additional telemetry you wish to put alongside it. If you’re feeling creative, you can also upload your own clips too. The panel’s brightness and main switch is located on the top right of the app UI, so you can adjust accordingly based on your environment.

TRYX is also keen to point out that if you ever encountered issues, their customer support is powered by real humans, not AI chatbots; there’s also a six-year warranty on the cooler, plus a separate three-year warranty on the LCD display to give you extra peace of mind.

Verdict

Granted, the RM599 price tag may look expensive at first, but with its AIO-like cooling performance and aesthetics it offers, you’ll be getting a lot out of the TRYX TURRIS 620 tower cooler. This is just about as good a tower cooler as they get, and for this price? We’ll happily take it.
