Endorfy Fortis 5 Dual Fan Review

Endorfs are a recognized brand in the US, but is currently expanding to other markets thanks to its budget cases and coolers in other components. Today we look at one of its medium -class air cooler, double Fortis 5 fan. Retail for some below USD 50It is very competitive and is located slightly above the cheapest double fans coolers, but it has the advantage that the heat structure from one tower and a larger fan.

A compact taxpay with taxes for two fans means that the double Fortis 5 fan is able to remove memory gaps on most motherboards, enabling the selection of any memory modules. This cannot be said about larger coolers, especially those with double layers, which often turn to one or two memory gaps, limiting the module clearance. This means that the potentially smaller surface is to work when it comes to cooling, as well as a larger limit in terms of air flow, which can reduce the efficiency at lower fan speeds.

To counteract this, the radiator includes two fans, as its name suggests, and the front is a immense 140 mm fan, which is 1400 rpm, while a smaller 120 mm fan helps to draw air through a immense radiat, as well as a hit of 1,400 rpm at maximum speed. This is relatively restricted in terms of speed, but it should mean that the double Fortis 5 fan is also silent. Single heat has six 6 mm heat pipes, which are polished to a velvety copper plate at the bottom.

If you are looking for RGB craving, you will be disappointed. Endorfs offers RGB coolers, but the Fortis 5 double fan is a basic silver and black romance without any lighting to reduce costs. A separate tube contains a immense amount of thermal paste, which should be enough for several applications, and there is no fear of accidental database removal if it has been pre -approved.

If you are worried about the limit of the height of the processor radiator in your case, and then at 159 mm, the double Fortis 5 fan should fit in any case that claims that it can handle the standard tower cooler. As for compatibility with the motherboard socket, as expected, it will work on all current desktop nests, as a fresh LGA1851 and AMD AM5 socket, at least a decade. But although it does not support AMD Threadripper sockets, he satisfies LGA2066 Intel.

There is no fan separating the fan cable in the box, but fortunately the 140 mm fan cable is divided to provide a second 4-pin connector for 120 mm fan, so both can be powered by a single fan header. Installing fans in warmth was basic, but a bit troublesome, as usual there are wire clips. You need to match them after installing the radiator, because they need to be removed to get to the protective screws on the primary plate.

The installation required the rear plate for the mainstream of the Intel socket and without adhesive washers to hold the main plate when you reach the upper side, you must keep it on the spot, which means that it can be a hard installation of the radiator without removing the motherboard. Then you secure four nuts to the upper side, on which a immense radiator is protected, using the next four caps. This is a pretty good construction set, but in addition to the duration a little longer than some other cooler, it is a basic process.

Then the time has come to apply the thermal paste to protect the radiator, which has two eternal screws that connect to the wheels in the mounting plate. You can rotate 180 degrees only after installing the plate, so that the orientation and the way it can be paid before installing the radiator.

It was not a surprise that Endorfy Fortis 5 Double fan sitting at the lowest point in the noise levels of any radiator, which we recently tested, when its fans rotate relatively slowly, but if you are particularly sensitive to low reading 42 cares at full speed, it was also supported by a decent sound quality without tones of low circuits or high strokes, and Tones half -speed are dishonest from the internal computer housing.

These leisurely rotating fans cost cooling, but still worked well and only complement 90 ° C in long full load tests, such as cinebench and x264 coding. Even here he maintained a constant 95 ° C by a 10-minute extreme test of Cinebench and kept a fixed one at 99 ° C in the X264 test, simply avoiding choke. In our extended Exodus Expanced Edition test, it reached the peak at 79 ° C, which was 10 ° C warmer than Mighty NH-D15 G2 Nedtua, but cooler than be silent! Dark Rock 5.

In addition to the cooler, all recently tested AIO fluid -tested, they managed much lower temperatures, but then they all cost, for which the double fan of Fortis 5 or more. The biggest advantages of the radiator liquid were in Cinebench, with an arctic liquid freezer III 360 A-RGB, for example, that almost 20 ° C knocked the load temperature after 10 minutes.

Ultimately, the Fortis Fortis 5 double fan offers one of the best processor cooling, which you will see for less than 50 USD, taking into account the level of noise, and we were impressed by the sound quality, which will certainly appeal to everyone who is sensitive to noise and will actively avoid crying pumps of the radiator or high spinning. There may be not an idea to deal with extended loads with Intel 12^th13^th and 14^th Gen Core i7 and Core i9 models in which even our Core i7 14700K was a bit too roasted for our preferences during video coding, but if it is a occasional event, you will be fine and the game was completely acceptable.

If you want a basic, inexpensive, silent and effective radiator, which can also easily handle almost every current processor, it is a double Endorfy Fortis 5 fan.
