New from the premier fan & cooling accessories manufacturer Alpenföhn The Black Ridge CPU cooler is the perfect complement to small form factor (SFF) cases such as the recently refreshed DAN case In fact the Alpenföhn Black Ridge was made in association with Daniel Hansen the designer of the famed DAN case The decision to mount the fan below the heat sink has freed up significant space yet without any compromise in cooling performance THE FEATURES OF THE ALPENF& Ouml;HN BLACK RIDGE AT A GLANCEOptimal cooling design with fan mounted to bottom of heatsink Exceptionally quiet 92 mm PWM fan included 6 x 6 mm copper heatpipes Slim heat sink with aluminium fins for additional cooling Compatible with most current AMD & Intel CPUs AN OUTSTANDING DESIGN FOR QUIET & EFFICIENT COOLINGThe Alpenföhn Black Ridge is ideal for small form factor cases or builds with micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboards The

Dimensions of the Black Ridge enable it to maintain a low enough profile to fit comfortably in SFF case & Alpenföhn’s high quality engineering means that the Black Ridge has excellent thermal performance Alpenföhn have further innovated by attaching a 92-millimeter fan to the base of a high quality heatsink & in so doing have cut the overall height of the cooler to just 47 millimetres This extraordinary design also has the added benefit of reducing fan noise A PREMIUM HEATSINK MADE FROM HIGH QUALITY MATERIALSThe Alpenföhn Black Ridge features a total of six copper heatpipes Each are six millimetres thick & designed to transfer heat away from the copper baseplate The heat is then dissipated across the heatsink&s aluminium fins These fins have a large surface area which aids in the cooling of your CPU The other benefit of this design is that RAM modules of up to 33 mm in height will not impede the cooler in addition 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 Black Ridge&s bundled 92 mm fan is capable of providing exceptionally cooling relative to its size Spinning at up to 2800 RPM it achieves an airflow of more than 80 m&sup 3;h This is more than enough to meet the performance needs of a 95 Watt TDP CPU & all the while generating a mere 376 d B (A) The Alpenföhn Black Ridge is compatible with all current Intel & AMD sockets & it creates a lasting impression of uncompromising quality with a sleek black colour SPECIFICATIONDimensions (with fan) 140 x 47 x 120 mm (W x H x D) Material anodised aluminium (heat sink) copper (bottom plate heatpipes) Weight (with fan) 407 g Fan 92 mm Dimensions 92 x 92 x 15 mm Revolutions 800

This Powerful CPU cooler made by Alpenföhn is an asymmetric cooling tower with five nickel-plated 6 mm heat pipes Wing Boost 3 fan with PWM connector & a high compatibility for CPU sockets & RAMWhat&s the result of crossing & uniting two " Brocken" generations well it means the Brocken 3 will furthermore enhance the performance levels The CPU cooler features a large heat sink with aerodynamically optimised fins along with brushed as well as anodised top fins whose fin distance predestines the cooler for silent operation In combination with the five 6 mm heat pipes & the included 140 mm PWM fan from the Wing Boost 3 series gargantuan cooling power can be achieved The Rock Mount mounting system allows for an easy & uncomplicated installation of the cooler THE ALPENFOHN BROCKEN 3&S LIST OF FEATURES Tower cooler with up to 220W TDP cooling power Five 6 mm heat pipes & optimised fins Wing Boost 3 fan with PWM connector & 140 mm format Asymmetrical design of the tower for best RAM compatibility High-performance thermal paste " Permafrost" included High compatibility to AMD & Intel CPU sockets Rock Mount mounting system for easy installation CAPABLE ALPENFOHN BROCKEN CPU COOLER OF THE THIRD GENERATIONThe third generation of the famed & esteemed Brocken cooler made by Alpenföhn resembles its predecessors when it comes to looks alone but due to several innovations & an even further enhanced cooling performance the Brocken 3 can pull ahead of its rivals All the know-how & experience stemming from the very popular Brocken 1 & 2 models as well as volumes of customer feedback from the Alpenföhn online community have been incorporated into the construction of the Brocken 3 A striking difference to its direct predecessor becomes apparent in the fact that twin towers became one single tower again whose aerodynamically optimised fins with adjusted fin distance offer tremendously enhanced capabilities for silent operation Especially in combination with the new Wing Boost 3 140 mm fan that possesses a fixed integrated fan guide wheel for axially directed airflow noise levels could be reduced & a minimisation of airflow twist could be realised The result is a formidable performance increase of the fan that enabled a reduction of its maximum rotational speed in comparison to alternate layouts WING BOOST 3 FAN WITH PWM CONNECTORThe Wing Boost 3 fan intrigues primarily due to its special blade pitch intended for slow rotational speed which is why it delivers a significantly higher flow rate higher static pressure & a higher exit velocity in comparison to other fans at identical speed levels Apart from that the aerodynamically optimised blade geometry benefits the axially directed airflow & the fanning out of the exhaust air This way the heat sink can use a larger surface area for heat dissipation Naturally the 140 mm fan can be plugged directly into the motherboard via a PWM connector & rotates depending on the CPU temperature at between 400 & 1050 revolutions per minute Equipped with a durable fluid dynamic bearing the fan&s noise level doesn&t exceed quiet 19 d B even at full speed while being able to generate an airflow of up to 103 m&sup 3;h So a strong mountain breeze is definitely being provided here atop the Brocken! Also on board again is the gapless HDC technology (Heatpipe Direct Contact) featuring five nickel-plated 6 mm heat pipes neatly integrated directly into the copper base plate which warrants enhanced heat transmission Furthermore the Brocken 3 too employs an asymmetrical cooling tower design with long heat pipes that provide a lot of space between base plate & the heat sink the latter also being slightly shifted towards the back & not centred above the socket Thanks to this design not a single RAM slot is being obstructed by the cooler on most motherboards on the market not even when the fan is installed on the front side in a pushing configuration as it is most commonly done Nothing stands in your way when you plan on using all RAM slots on your board The latter can sport a PGA socket AM4 AM3 () AM2 () FM2 () & FM1 on AMD&s side or an LGA socket 775 1366 115x & 2011 (-V3) on Intel&s side of the market The Rock Mount mounting system facilitates the uncomplicated installation of the cooler once more TECHNICAL DETAILSGeneral Dimensions (without fan) 146 x 161 x 100 mm (W x H x D) Dimensions (with fan) 146 x 165 x 125 mm (W x H x D) Weight (with fan) 850 g Materials Copper (Base Plate) Nickel-plated Copper (Heat Pipes) Aluminium (Fins) Heat Pipes 5x & Oslash; 6 mm Fan 1x 140 mm (max 19 d B (A) 400

Even the best can always be better that&s what the engineers at Alpenföhn did by redesigning the Brocken ECO from the ground up The result more efficiency & even simpler installation This is how the Alpenföhn Brocken ECO Advanced achieves support for a TDP of 170 Watts & is perfect for overclockers The ultra-quiet 120mm Wing Boost 3 fan is the fan of choice Like its predecessor the Alpenföhn Brocken ECO Advanced also manages excellent price-to-performance THE FEATURES OF THE ALPENF& Ouml;HN BROCKEN ECO ADVANCED AT A GLANCEHigh-performance CPU cooler rated at with a 170W TDPFour 6mm heat pipes in nickel-plated copper Efficient Wing Boost 3 fan in 120mm format Improved RAM compatibility thanks to asymmetric design High compatibility with AMD & Intel Redesigned installation process for easy mounting COMPACT

Dimensions HIGH PERFORMANCEThe Alpenföhn Brocken ECO Advanced is more than an upgrade to the popular Brocken ECO which itself drew an extensive following on the basis of its excellent price-to-performance Due to the slightly larger cooler & a high-performance fan Alpenföhn has been able to increase the efficiency of the Brocken ECO Advanced to a TDP of 170 Watts Moreover the compact

Dimensions of the Brocken ECO Advanced do not just make it cheaper it makes it a great choice for many cases that lack room for a large tower cooler The 120mm- format fan also helps makes the ECO Advanced protrude a mere 149 cm into the case A total of four heat pipes make contact between the baseplate & the aluminium fins The heat pipes & the copper baseplate which is nickel-plated for aesthetic reasons Naturally this has had no effect on the cooling performance is unaffected as the excellent TDP demonstrates OPTIMAL FORMAT EFFICIENT FANThe 6mm heat pipes are embedded directly into the baseplate between the processor & cooler using Alpenföhn&s Gapless HDT technology The discerning out there will immediately notice that they&ve got a Brocken in front of them due to its dual-fin tower design & the arrangement of the fins that has changed to predominantly groups of three to result in a large heat dissipation area along with excellent airflow characteristics that allow the fan to operate at the lowest speeds possible The Alpenföhn Brocken ECO Advanced also features the ingenious innovation of being able to easily move the double tower in one direction With this asymmetrical design the four heatpipes rise so high that the heat sink is not exactly centred above the end plate but rather slightly offset to the rear This means that the majority of motherboards on the market won&t have a single RAM slot blocked by the cooler Alpenföhn

Includes:: an ultra-modern Wing Boost 3-series fan which thanks to the new angle of attack of the fan blades offers a significantly higher volume flow total pressure & exhaust speed all at the same time The static pressure is significantly increased by a fixed integrated guide wheel in the fan frame & this also contributes to a reduction in the turbulence in the air flowing away from it The result is a further optimisation of the radial flow & a reduction in noise There is also a PWM connection including a Y-splitter Up to three additional PWM fans can be connected to a single slot on the motherboard The Alpenföhn Brocken ECO is compatible with all current motherboard sockets from AMD (AM2AM2 AM3AM3 AM4 FM1FM2FM2 ) & Intel (775 1150115111551156 1366 2011 2011-V3 2066) & thanks to the " Rock Mount 2"-system is easy & straightforward to install Technical Details Dimensions (with fan) 126 x 149 x 93 mm (W x H x D) Weight (with fan) approx 660 g Material Copper (baseplate heatpipes) aluminium (fins) Heatpipes 4x & Oslash; 6 mm Fan 1x 120 mm Speed 500
