While SilentiumPC still hasn’t quite managed to ‘crack’ the mainstream market (other opinions may differ), it is perhaps easy to forget that, in the grand scheme of things, they’re quite a new brand. Founded only in 2007, in a very short space of time they have quickly managed to garner themselves a strong reputation not just within the professional community but also with PC consumers in general. A particular highlight of their product launches has undoubtedly been seen in their system cases and coolers. And with the latter very clearly in mind here, we take a closer look at their newly released Fortis 5 CPU cooler.

SilentiumPC Fortis 5
The SilentiumPC Fortis 5 is a brand new high-performance air CPU cooling solution that looks to offer consumers a potent level of temperature control while keeping acoustic levels to a minimum. Well, that’s what the packaging says at least. Suitable for both Intel and AMD, including the Alder Lake-S LGA1700 socket, this certainly already seems to be ticking a lot of the right boxes. Including, for some consumers at least, this not having ARGB lighting of any kind. – Yes, many consumers, myself included, do at times get a little frustrated at seemingly everything these days apparently requiring a rainbows worth of colour being (in many cases haphazardly) thrown on it.
However, with the SilentiumPC Fortis 5, we have a straight-up high-performance air cooling solution. Something that I daresay will be music to the ears of many reading this.

What Does SilentiumPC Have To Say?
“The Fortis 5 is a new SilentiumPC processor cooling system, developed in colla-boration with Synergy Cooling. The distinguishing features include a completely new two-axis asymmetrical heatsink with densely packed fins, an optimized base with six heat pipes, and a completely new Fluctus fan optimized for static pressure, high airflow, and quiet operation. In terms of performance, the Fortis 5 can can easily compete with large twin-tower coolers, at the same time surpassing the best single-tower systems in cooling efficiency and psychoacoustic properties.
The Fortis 5 series is the next step in a revolutionary design developed in colla-boration with Synergy Cooling, and another representative of the new generation of SilentiumPC cooling systems. It is equipped with a larger heatsink and a new version of the Fluctus fan. In addition to the single-fan Fortis 5, the Fortis 5 Dual Fan with two Fluctus fans (140 mm on the front and 120 mm on the back of the heatsink), and the Fortis 5 ARGB, which has been further visually enriched with an addressable LED lighting system, are also being available. All Fortis 5 series coolers are covered by an extensive 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.”
