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
