amazon Raijintek MYA RBW reviews
After putting all their money and enthusiasm into the “main” hardware devices dedicated to the game, the rest of the parts are poorly selected. It could be the case, the case power supply, hard drive, but there is only one accessory that many people “abandon” completely, which is the cooling fan for the CPU because companies often “attach” stock heatsinks that work relatively efficiently. But the heat sink not only keeps the processor temperature at a stable level but is also one of the “keys” to beautify the whole case. With so many radiators on the market today, one of the new faces comes from Raijintek, a gaming equipment manufacturer founded in 2013 in Taiwan.
Raijintek is a “rookie” in the village of radiators. Still, the product it creates carries an “ambition” to conquer the market of serious gamers rather than launching sketchy products of the highest quality available to fill the demand. So Raijintek MYA RBW has a “heavyweight” design with “careful” details in the size of mid-range radiators.
Suppose you have ever “played” heatsinks and experienced the best “heavy” radiators on the market, the Cooler Master V8 GTS. In that case, you will easily realize that Raijintek MYA RBW also owns many similar features but with a much smaller size. The most visible is the “staging” of heat pipes of up to six units made of pure copper using the “Direct Heat” design, which is in direct contact with the heat source without going through the contact base like a traditional heat sink designs system. These six heat pipes are large, covered with a fairly thick matte black powder coating, providing thorough protection from common oxidizing effects. These pipes are used as a “skeleton” that mainly supports the entire upper radiator fin system and at the same time helps to transfer heat directly and most effectively to these grilles.
The grille on the Raijintek MYA RBW is also made quite thick and solid with a wavy layered design that provides the most contact with the airflow from the radiator fan and pushes the heat out more thoroughly than the folding method parallel layer of heatsinks as commonly found on both graphics card heatsinks. These heat sinks are made quite thick, so users can rest assured not to worry about warping, warping, or scratching, causing loss of aesthetics after use. In return, the use of quite thick heatsinks also makes the overall mass of the heatsink quite heavy, requiring a solidly designed support mechanism. Ensuring the weight of the entire cooling system evenly distributed on the motherboard body without causing warping or warping of the PCB but still maintaining a tight contact between the heat pipe surface and the CPU. In this respect, Raijintek has done quite well by providing a two-layer base with a fairly solid wedge mechanism, suitable for all types of sockets available on the market today.
Two technical highlights of Raijintek MYA RBW that the company “promotes” quite strongly can include the Rainbow ADD 5v RGB “rainbow” lighting system that can work in sync with the system by connecting to the control port. Add Header 5v is common on most modern motherboards instead of using “separate” technologies like ASUS’ Aura Sync or MSI’s Mystique Light. The second bright spot is in the ultra-thin fan with a thickness of only 1/3 of conventional 12cm radiator fans. According to Raijintek, this is a technological breakthrough when using super-durable bearings that provide stable operation at a maximum speed of up to 1400rpm and airflow equivalent to traditional 12cm fans.
As a result, the Raijintek MYA RBW is about the same size as mid-range radiators while still possessing the technical design of heavy-duty radiators. The company also omitted the ability to upgrade to an ultra-thin exhaust fan (sold separately) that enhances the heatsink’s performance, helping to achieve high and stable clocks for a long time.
Entering “real combat,” the Raijintek MYA RBW showed good performance in Idle testing, web surfing, and normal text editing with an average temperature of around 42 degrees Celsius with fan rpm at 500rpm level. Although not as impressive as the AIO NZXT Kraken M22 water cooler, this number is still very significant in the group of radiators.
The temperature proved quite complicated to the game test when Raijintek MYA RBW gave an “unbelievably high” result. At the same time, the motherboard continuously overclocked the cores with Turbo 2.0 technology to 4.60GHz to meet the requirements. Strong demand for rendering in the game even though the activity level of each core is only between 30% and 40%. Intel’s stock cooling fan began to have a slight howling phenomenon with high rpm in this test environment to maintain the system temperature at 65 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the Raijintek MYA RBW worked quite “handy” about,” causing the average temperature when playing games to go up and down around 70 degrees Celsius. A number that is even higher than Intel’s stock heatsink far from the NZXT Kraken M22’s only 51 degrees Celsius.
Looking at this result, the writer himself even doubted his assembly and application of thermal paste, so he disassembled and reassembled Raijintek MYA RBW and tested it again a few times but still got the same results. Although this temperature is not hot and is harmful to the quality of the cooling cream or the operation of the whole system, the high temperature also confuses the tester a lot.
After checking and excluding the causes, the writer discovered that the main reason for this rather high temperature lies in the “ultra-thin” heatsink fan on the Raijintek MYA RBW operating leisurely at only approximately 800rpm, did not increase too much compared to normal operating speed. In contrast, Intel’s stock cooling fan had to “speed up” to push the fan speed to 3 times. That happens because the safe temperature setting of the heatsink is quite high and gives more priority to quiet and stable operation, so the test results are not so ideal. If still not satisfied with this result, users can completely “manually” adjust the fan speed to over 1000rpm; this time, the CPU temperature only works around 60 degrees Celsius.
When stress testing all cores with the Prime 95 program within 30 minutes, pushing all cores to operate at full capacity at 100%, the CPU temperature only touched 65 degrees Celsius with fan speed increasing to approximately 1250rpm. While at this time Intel’s stock cooling fan has proved “exhausted” and “dropped” for temperatures up to 86 degrees Celsius, Raijintek MYA RBW still proves to be extremely effective when the temperature is not much different from the previous generation. 60 degrees of AIO NZXT Kraken M22 water cooler. At this point, if you listen closely, you will start to be able to hear the fan running softly and no longer “quiet” like at 800rpm when playing games.
If there is one thing to blame, the Raijintek MYA RBW has a very difficult design to disassemble. Nearly every detail requires users to screw and screw with the use of three different types of screw heads, including regular four-sided screws, flat screws, and small four-sided electric screws. According to the instructions, the assembly is extremely simple, but putting all the screws and washers and the bolts in the right place is very time-consuming. Even if you do not use the pliers, you will have to hurt your hand to ensure that the base frame is mounted tightly and stably.
Raijintek MYA RBW uses a structure that ensures clamped contact instead of using spring screws like on other heat sink versions, so it will be enough to make it difficult for users to tighten screws in a rather tight area of the case stuck with RAM. It was very difficult for the writer to use a small screw at an angle of up to 45 degrees to adjust the tightening. The heatsink creates a moderate pressure on the CPU instead of “abandoning” everything to the furnace screw mechanism of other heatsinks. Of course, has the advantage that the user can easily adjust the tightening force, but it is quite difficult to assemble for people who are not familiar with screws.
The last little problem on the Raijintek MYA RBW lies in the rather short RGB Rainbow LED control wire, which can only be plugged in a “horizontal” fashion on the motherboard’s surface instead of “hiding the wire” behind the board for compactness machine box tidy.
