CONCLUSION

   It’s somewhat clear from the charts that SilentiumPC had the right idea when they paired a large heatsink with a large 140mm fan. Cooling efficiency is quite good (a high-RPM fan would further improve this), noise levels are low and as for the ARGB effects well they look surprisingly better than expected. Of course, the Pulsar HP ARGB fan is far from the highest quality fan I’ve seen to date and the amount of RGB LEDs is limited but since this is an affordable CPU cooler it’s understandable that SilentiumPC had to cut some corners.

   So just how affordable is the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB CPU cooler by SilentiumPC? Well even though availability is far from great it currently retails for around 45Euros inside the EU. Yes, there are obviously more affordable models in the market currently but I truly think that the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB offers a very good price/performance ratio (even more so if you also take into account its RGB features) and that’s why it comes highly recommended by us.

PROS

- Good Performance
- ARGB Lighting (Mainboard & Manually Adjusted)
- Zero Clearance Issues with Most Motherboards (Assymetric Design)
- Noise Levels
- Easy Installation

CONS
