Endorfy Fortis 5 Black ARGB CPU Cooler Overview
The Fortis 5 Black ARGB is your typical single tower, single-fan cooler. As far as size goes the official dimensions are 159mm × 144mm × 107mm. This is the “Black” edition of the cooler so we do have an all black design with the entire heatsink, top cap, and fan frame being black.
The fan itself is Endorfy’s Fluctus 140mm ARGB fan. This 140mm FDB fan features a unique serrated blade design and even has a fan-stop function, which you don’t typically see on air coolers.
Looking at the cooler from the side we can see just how thick the single tower of the cooler is. We can aslo see that the front fan is held into place with simple fan clips.
Moving around to the back we get a better look at the heatsink design. The heatsink fins are spaced far enough apart for air to easily flow through them.
At the top of the cooler we actually have a top cap that sits atop an RGB diffuser. There is an Endorfy logo in the center.
Coming up from the base of the heatsink are our six 6mm-thick heatpipes. These of course are black to match the rest of the heatsink.
The base of this cooler is actually pretty interesting. The heatpipes have had their base cut and ground flat. These will make direct contact with your CPU.
Thanks for a great review of a product from a new company. I would be interested in seeing some reviews of products from another new company: upHere. I just installed their UE2 Elite KC8C cooler which contains 8 heatpipes that are curved back to allow unlimited ram height. It seems to perform as well as other similar 2 fan coolers but some detailed comparisons would be interesting to others who want reasonably priced air coolers while still being able to have whatever argb ram dimms they want. Hopefully you’ll be able to arrange with upHere to review some of their coolers.
