PC Thermal solutions expert CRYORIG is releasing the second Origami based compatibility checker. Following the industry acclaimed CRYORIG Origami Tester that was initially released in 2014 for testing mainboard and component compatibility with CRYORIG products, CRYORIG has pushed the limits of paper folding innovation again with the CRYORIG Origami Case Depth Checker.

The CRYORIG Origami Case Depth Checker is a simple to build tool to help PC builders measure their case's CPU Cooler Tolerance Height, as there are still many case manufacturers who for some reason choose to omit this in their product page. Without this critical information, PC builders are left in the dark regarding wither or not a certain cooler will fit their case or not.



The CRYORIG Origami Case Depth Checker is easy to make and only takes a few clicks to download and assemble. On the CRYORIG Origami Case Depth Checker you'll find a ruler and set height markers that tell you directly which models can fit your case. What's more! There will also be height markers for popular coolers from be quiet! Coolermaster, Noctua and more! If there is any request for additional height markers for other models and brands just write in to support@cryorig.com and CRYORIG will add them to the list.

That is fun. I more and more like Cryorig. However, availability at my location is a factor to be taken.
 
You can do this with a ruler anyway. And you require a ruler with this to check the printout is the correct scale lol.
 
"pushed the limits of paper folding innovation"???

Just use a ruler. Rather than have the STRING being held by a person, just tape the string to the case and hold a regular ruler on the CPU socket. Measure against the string line.

Actually, the easier approach is just to use the PC side panel itself- No string needed. Open the case, rest the PC side panel across the opening so that a rigid edge is lined up with the CPU socket, and with the other hand hold the ruler and read off the measurement!

WOW, once again lemonadesoda pushes the limits of using a ruler innovation!!!! Let the masses throw themselves prostate!

Remember the days where enthusiasts come to TPU to bios mod/hack? Now the audience is some bunch of left handers being told how to use a piece of string and a ruler. Haven't the target demographics changed!

People still come to TPU to bios mod and hack, but unfortunately they seem to be lacking in the mental department lately (SO many people forget to backup... :( )

We need a press release for this right now! This is the future of CPU cooler measurement right here!

lemonadesoda is the greatest innovator of our time. :respect:
 
It is neat, and being free who can really complain? I have used eyeballing, researching specs and guestimation this entire time with overall good luck and only a couple of coolers too big for their cases. Lol.

Forward thinking as we do have a lot of users that may really appreciate something so simple, and would give me a better way to show and explain to my younger boy how to make sure a cooler will fit in a computer case the next build we do. He always asks how I know...I say I just do to keep his eyes from glazing over. This, and the fact it is stated as origami (he loves Origami Yoda), I feel could really help me to get this part to "click" for him. For me that's a plus. Also the fact they're willing to add more coolers to the list is another neat aspect...why not use something that makes it so stupid easy to know if a cooler will/won't fit with the clearance needed? Unless you're like me and have been doing it for so long without...it makes more sense to work smarter not harder. :)
 
rofl there is an even easier way to know the case depth, without doing anything special! Check the specs of the case on product site or in the manual! Am I the King now? xD hahaha... nice marketing though.
 
Ha CPU cooler to big no problem bust out that dremel and mod the side panel to fit
