Raijintek Leto Pro RGB review
A small cooler looking to make a big impact.

It occurred to me the other day that there are three main 'categories' of manufacturers involved in the PC components and hardware industry. First up, you have 'The Titans'. Corsair. MSI. Asus. Gigabyte. Etc. No matter where you are in the world, you will have heard of these guys. They're big names and are perhaps some of the first ones you think of when thinking of the PC market. Next up, the 'maybe' category. Depending on where you are, or how long you've been in the scene, you might have heard of them. Then there are the unknowns or the straight up newcomers.

I, naturally, had heard of Raijintek several times before. Established in 2013, they make a wide array of PC components but are the best known for their notable range of CPU and GPU cooling products (the former might be fairly common, but aftermarket GPU air coolers are becoming more popular). Today we have a product that nestles itself firmly into the highly populated air cooler market. There are many competitors, so suffice to say that the fairly diminutive Leto Pro RGB has its work cut out for it. The unit itself is a dual fan 120mm cooler that sports a relatively slimline single tower heatsink. A plus point to visuals here being that the heatsink itself is totally black, which I really like. 4x 6mm heat pipes taper into a direct contact design ('CDC' for short), rather than using a polished plate. It's hard to say which design is preferred in the industry, as for as many direct contact coolers I have seen, there seems to be an equal number of 'plate contact' units. Anyway. Naturally, a big draw of this cooler is going to be having those two RGB enabled fans at a relatively low price point. At the time of review, the Leto Pro RGB was available from at just £34.99. The cooler is 40.90 EUR from CaseKing, I was unable to find a US distributor. This might well tie into my point above about certain brands only being readily available in certain places, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that perhaps Rajintek has not yet pushed heavily into the American market as of yet. Who might want this cooler? Well, it's an excellent question.

At just 153mm tall, it's certainly quite squat, meaning it'll be able to fit into even the most slimline statured of even ITX cases. This cooler, in my opinion, has three main markets. Those who just want a bit of RGB 'bling' in their system. Those who have an 8600k or 8700k and want 'something' that looks good to simply tame it at stock or with a very light overclock, or...

 

 

In my mind, this cooler's main market is AMD Ryzen users. A significant amount of extra performance can be extracted from AMD's superb Raven Ridge-based R3 2200G and R5 2400G by overclocking both the CPU cores and Vega 8/Vega 11 graphics. As Ryzen also runs relatively cool, as well, I can see this cooler being fairly suitable for use on an R5 2600/2600X, or even for use on something like a non-x R7 2700 CPU. With all that said and done, we can move onto a small product showcase, unboxing, and performance statistics.
