Alpenföhn ATLAS Mini-ITX/Micro-ATX CPU Cooler Review

Performance
Given the size of this cooler, I wasn’t expecting exceptional cooling performance, but as you can see, the ATLAS puts up one heck of a fight, beating out some far more expensive solutions, including quite a few water coolers!
Once overclocked, things obviously didn’t go as well, but don’t be fooled, this is still within a safe margin and should run just fine. The next best air cooler was the be quiet! Pure Rock, and that’s a more expensive solution.
Well, so much for those 92mm fans being noisy, as far as I’m concerned, this thing was literally silent and the fans were barely having to turn to keep things nice and cool.
Even when overclocked, the Atlas is still super quiet, it even managed to break up the quadrilogy of be quiet! coolers which have long dominated the charts as quietest the coolers.
