ALPENFOHN 84000000156 Ventirad for PC

Product Information

The original design of the Black Ridge comes from Daniel Hansen, who needed a compact CPU cooler for use in his DAN cases. The construction of the cooler is very good, starting from accessories to the fan and heatsink, the main materials used are aluminum and nickel plated copper. The front of the box makes it crystal clear what’s the model of the heatsink, in big capital letters and how it looks like. Alpenföhn is a company which manufacturers cooling components for IT systems, which started its activity in 2008.

Increases in performance can be achieved by the "Performance" or "Overclocking" mode with alternative fan assembly. The Alpenfohn Black Ridge cooler is ideal for small HTPC and ITX systems, thanks to its shape and height of just 47mm. The clever cooling concept in DAN Cases, which also works without a case fan and makes use of the integrated cooling of the installed hardware, makes Sparta even more spartan. Additionally if VLP-RAM (Very Low Profile) is used a 120 mm fan can be mounted to the cooler rather than the standard 92mm fan.

The biggest issue with this is that noctua fan swap is tested on the BR but we need to know the numbers for when you do the same fan swap (as I did) on AXP90 for example. Oltre ad essere montata al contrario, che è un difetto noto di questo prodotto e stranamente non è ancora stato risolto, è abbastanza rumorosa. It also brings powerful CPUs to the right temperature and is compact enough to take full advantage of the extremely compact Mini ITX DAN Cases.

For both scenarios we used the built-in system stability and stress test from AIDA64 and followed by some CPU benchmarks.

The included fan caries an Alpenföhn sticker with the manufacture date and if you zoom in you will notice that the fan is made by EKL AG.But if you go with the VLP ram and the 120 mm slim fan and the Black Ridge, they will have direct airflow from the fan because we discovered that the best scenario is to have the fan as an intake thus the whole motherboard will receive airflow, including the M. Also for all scenarios there the side panel will be closed and there will be an extra case fan (Noctua 92mm slim NF-A9x14) set also as an intake. The Alpenfohn Black Ridge, originally spawned from the legendary mind of Dan from Dan Cases, is a bit of a legend in the small form factor arena. When it comes to the elite in radiator construction, inevitably Alpenföhn must be counted as an established size. In AIDA64 we isolated the stress test just for the CPU and thus we get these a theoretical max temperature scenario.

Gaming wise, there is nothing to worry about temperatures, at least in this title which can use all of the 16 threads. The exception comes from the 120 mm slim Noctua fan, which placed as an ‘intake’, becomes a clear winner.

From a wide range of quality brands to affordable picks, these reviews will help you find the best alpenfohn black ridge cpu cooler, no matter what your budget is. Wherever there is enough space in the case, nothing speaks against a cooler monster, which also keeps maximally high-clocked quad-core or six-core CPUs in uncomplicated temperature ranges on the hottest days of the year. So this review and the video one, they were with the 4GB VLP Kingston non-ECC since it was the only one I could find in due time. That despite this size format, a complete gaming PC can be installed in it, is achieved by a thoughtful concept and a gimmick: The graphics card is placed in parallel behind the Mini-ITX motherboard in a separate chamber and a total of almost every square inch inside the DAN Cases A4-SFX V3 meaningfully used, while in ordinary tower cases mostly unnecessarily much free space prevails. The Alpenföhn Black Ridge is a good CPU cooler, that is designed from the start, to work with small motherboards and enclosures, such as the DAN cases.
