Jonsbo Outs HX5230 Tower-type CPU Cooler with 230W Cooling Capacity
Jonsbo today released the HX5230, a mid-range tower-type CPU cooler. The cooler features an all-black tower-type design, Five 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes make indirect contact with the processor over a mirror-finish copper base, conveying heat through the anodized aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm fan. The fin-stack is capped by a die-cast aluminium top-plate that has a premium brushed-metal appearance. The included fan features a fluid-dynamic bearing, takes in 4-pin PWM input, and turns at speeds ranging between 700 to 1,800 RPM, pushing up to 83.04 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.68 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 37.6 dBA noise output. Jonsbo claims that the HX5230 can handle thermal loads of up to 230 W. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 128 mm x 75 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH), weighing 704 g. Among the socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn't reveal pricing.

On their website they says :
OEM and ODM are provided for well-known brands in Japan, Germany, Sweden and other countries.
Could it be Scythe, Be Quiet ! and Fractal Design ?
The Noctua NF-A12x25 at 2000 rpm only claims an airflow rate of 60.1 cfm (converted from the listed 102.1 cubic meters per hour). Arctic's new P12 Max fans spin up to 3300 RPM... and only claim an airflow rate of 81.04 CFM. They're claiming more airflow than that, at <60% of the speed... very dubious.
There was another article the other day on a new low profile Jonsbo cooler that can theoretically manage 140 Watts. Either they're seriously overestimating their coolers' abilities, or they're made out of a revolutionary new alloy from outer space. My guess is kind of obvious.
I found it
I've never understood why cooler manufacturers have been allowed to blatantly lie about their products forever.Because apparently they're unable to take pictures of their own product, that allegedly released today.
Some of them look pretty nice UMX4 and VR4 has some interesting design ideas going on for example and the quality looks like its there but nobody seems to review them.
honesty/accuracy in measurements is the biggest issue, every brand tests differently and some are... less honest than others
