Alpenfohn Brocken 2 PCGH Edition CPU Cooler - 140mm

In this particular PCGH Edition even come two instead of just one of Wing Boost 2 140mm Silent fan completely redeveloped with 3-pin connector for use. The special variant of chunks 2 is designed consistently according to the ideas of PC Games Hardware computer technology magazine on a quiet operation down. To this end, the two 140 mm fans are working in a push-pull configuration, each with 700 U / min and not generate more volume than 18.5 dB (A).

As the Brocken is the highest peak of the Harz , 2 PCGH Edition thus extends the Alpenföhn Brocken comes to CPU cooling beyond its counterparties. The Tower cooler reminds the overall picture it quite to his model, however, this was still optimized for 120 fans. According to the Brocken is wider and 2 together with the two Wing Boost fan 2 also slightly higher: 14.6 x 16.5 cm (W x H). But the depth falls with only 12,2 cm but from pleasantly low. A particularly striking difference between generations is the new twin tower design, while was still consistent with the original of the coil block.

But despite the splitting in the middle of the family resemblance is clear – not least because of the typical fin arrangement in groups of three. These have the advantage that two concepts can be combined with the Brocken. On the one hand the greater distances between each group of three make for better Semi passive properties, therefore a quiet fan operation at low speed. On the other hand still suffers not the heat dissipation surface because of slats itself need not be saved.

Also back again is the gapless HDT technology, in which the heat pipes are integrated directly into the copper base plate, which has an increased heat transfer result. An ingenious innovation is the Brocken 2 but the asymmetrical design. The five silver-plated heatpipes sticking namely so in the amount that the double radiator not exactly centered over the basePlate stands, but slightly offset to the rear.

In this way, not a single RAM slot is in the vast majority of motherboards on the market blocked by the cooler, not even then, if one of the fans – as usual – is front and thus mounted einblasend. One memory-full configuration is here therefore nothing in the way. As motherboards all boards come in question, which have the Intel socket 115x, 1366 and 2011 or the AMD Socket AM2 (+), AM3 (+) and FM1 / 2 (+). Here you can the Brocken 2 thanks to Rockmount system easily and safely mounted.

For flexible pulling the two are at low speeds and thus low noise emissions designed 140s fan from the completely revised Wing Boost 2-row responsible. In operation, these connected each to a 3-pin connector on the mainboard Silent fan rotate stoically with inaudible 700 U / min. Thanks to the new S-shape geometry of the fan blades and the good hydraulic bearing Alpenföhn could not only improve the delivery rate.

Also, the static pressure was increased without increasing the speed a little. Nevertheless, the Wing Boost 2, the features for better compatibility than 120 mm holes, a very faint copy. The maximum 700 U / min each of the two supplied fan transported with a maximum of 18.5 dB (A) 59.56 m³ / h per hour, thereby making sure that there is always tidy drafts on the Brocken!
