Fortis 3 Malik Customs Edition CPU Cooler Officially Launched

The Fortis 3 HE1425 MCE is a large single tower design CPU cooler offering superb heat dissipation at an affordable price point. It’s engineered to achieve the perfect balance between airflow and cooling proficiency via five 6mm heatpipes which transfer the heat effectively to 38 aluminium fins. The company recently decided to add a more stylish aesthetic design and collaborate with Malik Customs, a world-famous system builder and hardware photographer. As you can see, the end result is spectacular and one of the more visually appealing air coolers I’ve seen in recent years. Not only that, the package comes with interchangeable colour plates, to better match your build’s theme. These are very easy to attach, and adds a great deal of flexibility to the cooler.

Here we can see the plates which contain ventilation holes to assist with airflow. It’s great to see a custom design being implemented which doesn’t effect on the heatsink’s cooling efficiency.
