InWin today announced its new BR Series AIO CPU Coolers with a built-in CPU block fan blower. The additional CPU block fan blower chills the upper motherboard area (UMA) up to 35 percent more than traditional AIO CPU coolers, ensuring the more powerful CPUs can be cooled and kept stable. The InWin BR24 and BR36 offer 240 mm and 360 mm radiator variants respectively and are bundled with high-performance Luna AL120 ARGB fans specially designed with higher static pressure.

High Performance AIO CPU Cooling
With outstanding AIO performance, the BR Series is tailored for all PC users, especially for those that operate frequently with higher loads, such as gamers, designers and content creators. High-density microchannel fins in the BR Series copper plate efficiently draw heat away from the CPU, minimizing the temperature delta to unlock maximum thermal headroom and overclocking performance. Its internal pump is designed to sit separately from the water block to minimize vibration and noise.



UMA Cooling Fan Ensures A Stable PC
The latest high-performance CPUs can require motherboards to use active cooling on their VRMs, however, fans directly attached to VRM heatsinks are often small and noisy. The InWin BR Series AIO features an integrated fan blower specifically designed to push cool air down and over the VRM, memory and components around the CPU socket such as the M.2 SSDs and graphics cards installed into the top-most PCI-Express slot. The net effect is the Upper Motherboard Area (UMA) is cooler by as much as 35 percent. This enables the CPU, motherboard and memory to have more thermal headroom, unlocking extra performance and extending the lifespan of the surrounding PC hardware. The integrated cooling fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector for accurate control and features an ARGB glow from its underside.

ARGB Lighting with Software Sync and One-Click LED Controller
The ARGB lighting radiantly glows on the nine crescent-shaped blades bundled with InWin Luna AL120 fans, reflecting a soft glow into the system to highlight the PC build. With 16.8 million lighting combinations via ARGB LEDs, users can truly color coordinate their PC builds to complement other ARGB-enabled components around set themes. The Luna AL120 fans can sync with ARGB motherboard software from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI or ASRock, or the lighting effects can also be directly controlled using the bundled InWin ARGB One-Click LED controller. The fans are designed to be daisy-chained together with their short power cables to optimize cable routing.

This seems a bit counter intuitive for a water cooler. Such a small fan looks like it would be either useless or very loud.

I suppose it's for people with small cases with poor air flow?

More likely just to give the VRM area some airflow, which can be hard on some boards.

kinda had the same idea but a bit more janky a while ago, 4 arms coming up from the cooler connector that bend a bit outwards that you can then connect a 12cm fan to to blow air down on the motherboard.

nothing wrong with this I guess, GN said while not a big difference, the little fan on the arctic freezer pro did cool the vrm's a bit, which was enough for it not to be relegated to a total gimmick so this should work just fine

It's proven to help the VRMs, check GNs review on the Arctic Freezer 2 with it's little fan. If i remember correctly it dropped VRM temp by 10C.

Arctic definitely does this concept better.

This one just looks...well, stupid.

The problem is they used an axial fan instead of a centrifugal fan, the latter would have decreased the height as well.

I have to say that block looks funky, out of some cheap sci-fi movie.
