I can’t emphasize it enough but believe me when I say that this was an odyssey for me to end up with that bloody answer! For years the only true (very) low profile CPU cooler was the Noctua L9(i/a) because of its tiny footprint, at just 37mm tall and cooled with a 92mm fan. Testing is carried out on BC1 Mini v2 (open testbench), using the following hardware, in 20°C ambient room temperature. Supported sockets (max 95W):Intel: Socket LGA 115x / 1200AMD: Socket AM4 GPU compatibility:100% compatibility on some mainboards only with riser cable.

Per il resto, è un design top down consolidato, reso premium dalla colorazione nera e dalla perfezione con cui Alpenföhn lo ha costruito, assemblato e rifinito in ogni punto. Completed successfully at nearly € 400,000, the campaign garnered international attention for the minimalist small form factor (SFF) case and continued to generate high popularity among PC hobbyists, mini-case enthusiasts and gamers. Consiglio di sostituirla con una ventola sottile Noctua da 80mm per prestazioni di raffreddamento migliori e livelli di rumore più accettabili.

Important note for the use of the Alpenföhn Black RidgePlease note that the Alpenföhn Black Ridge is a powerful cooler with a max. Se avete memorie RAM very low profile, allora potete usare anche una ventola da 120mm sottile per prestazioni ancora migliori.

Gaming wise, there is nothing to worry about temperatures, at least in this title which can use all of the 16 threads. How much the cooling capacity can be increased depends on the fan used in each of these two modes and can not be precisely specified by Alpenföhn®. The cherry on top will be when we install a 120 mm Noctua slim fan to unlock the maximum cooling potential in a single fan configuration for the DAN A4 SFX case. I duplicated (almost) the single fan only testing with an Alpenfoehn Blackridge cooler I earlier conducted with a Noctua L-12 Ghost Edition. There's plenty of room inside for good airflow around components therefore I haven't felt the need to add to the two included case fans as the case design allows for good passive airflow.inch disk can be accommodated, while under the power supply one (with PSU in SFX-L format) to two (with PSU in SFX format) another 2.

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. For the 8 GB VLP KVR26N19S8L I could only find in the ASUS QVL for the B550-F but not on the B550-I model.

The Noctua A12x25 used on the L12GE in single fan mode was the quietest of the 25–30mm thick fans at 100% PWM. For the synthetic tests, a GPU with fanless mode is used and we will turn of any case fans to reduce any extra interferences.

I included the Arctic P14 fan as it fit very nicely on top of either the Blackridge or the L12GE cooler when mounted in my 5.I mildly regret not going for the black ridge because it is a bit more of an ideal choice since i'm also using liquid metal on the IHS - HSF interface. Surprisingly the R20 test places the ‘exhaust’ 120 mm as the worst performing one while the ‘intake’, again, takes the crown.
