Endorfy Fortis 5 Black: Six heatpipes for Intel CPUs

Cooling, CPU coolers, Extra tests | | Ľubomír Samák

In addition to the standard variant, the Fortis 5 is also available in a completely black version. Compared to the lower-end series (Fera 5), it has two more heatpipes which increase the cooling performance of this cooler. In practice, however, it only does better in some cases. When the processor can benefit from the “extra material” available in the Fortis 5 cooler. How so? We’ll break everything down in this detailed analysis.

Results: Low noise level (36 dBA)







Spectral analysis of noise

Why is there a missing value in the chart? The reason is that the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode. Control to lower noise levels fails for reasons such as an overly noisy liquid cooler pump or a whining fan motor.

What would be the results of standard motherboard tests if we used the MSI MAG CoreLiquid I360 cooler with them? Better. Specifically, lower temperatures would be achieved for the CPU cores, which would then run at higher clock speeds, which naturally means higher computing performance. Not dramatically, but if we are to illustrate the situation with plates of scales, their position is quite clear. Read more “Test: MSI Z890 Ace (and CU9 285K) with CoreLiquid I360 cooler” »

One of the most popular CPU coolers of today has already appeared in our tests, but on an older, basically outdated platform. That’s why we’re bringing you measurements that better reflect what’s in use these days. We have the results of the Endorfy Fera 5 cooler on the latest Intel and AMD platforms with their top processor models. How does an, essentially, inexpensive tower cooler handle them?

  1. Please note: The results of the Fortis 5 Black cooler are made a little worse by the fact that we forgot to install the fans over anti-vibration pads. This results in higher secondary noise on the heatsink (by transfer of vibrations from the frame to the fins) and lower fan speeds are achieved in noise level normalized modes than they would have been with anti-vibration pads. For this reason, the cooler will be subject to later retestings. From these you will see the direct effectiveness of this element.
