## Summary description

The EKL Alpenföhn Black Ridge is a high-performance cooler featuring a 9.2 cm fan with a rotational speed range of 800 to 2800 RPM. It operates at a low noise level of 14 dB at minimum speed and 37.6 dB at maximum speed, providing efficient airflow of 80.03 m³/h. With dimensions of 140 mm width, 120 mm depth, and 47 mm height, this black cooler is designed for optimal cooling performance in compact spaces.

## Long description

The EKL Alpenföhn Black Ridge is a low-profile CPU cooler designed for compact systems and mini-ITX builds. It integrates a black nickel-plated heatsink with six 6 mm heatpipes and a bottom-mounted 92 mm PWM fan. With overall dimensions of 140 mm (W) x 120 mm (D) x 47 mm (H) and support for processors up to 95 W TDP, the cooler prioritizes an efficient balance of thermal performance and compatibility in space-constrained cases.
Advantages
The Black Ridge combines a dense aluminium fin stack with six heatpipes to transfer heat quickly from the CPU to the heatsink. Its bottom-mounted 92x92x15 mm PWM fan is adjustable from 800 to 2800 RPM, allowing quiet operation at low speeds (from 14 dB(A)) and increased airflow (up to 80.03 m³/h) when required. The compact 47 mm height and asymmetric heatsink design enable full VGA compatibility on most mini-ITX motherboards and support up to 33 mm memory height. The package includes alternative mounting brackets to install larger fans for enhanced cooling capacity.
Suitable for
 Mini-ITX small form factor desktop builds
 Compact HTPC and living-room PCs with restricted internal height
 Systems prioritizing compatibility with discrete graphics cards on tight motherboards
 Quiet workstation or office PCs where low noise is important
Key specifications
 Fan diameter: 92 mm (92x92x15 mm)
 Fan speed range: 800–2800 RPM (PWM control)
 Noise level: 14–37.6 dB(A)
 Airflow: up to 80.03 m³/h
 Dimensions (W × D × H): 140 × 120 × 47 mm
 Weight: 0.438 kg
 Heatpipes: 6 × 6 mm (black nickel plated)
 Maximum supported memory height: 33 mm
 Color: Black (black nickel plated heatsink)
 Supported processor TDP: up to 95 W
How to use
Install the cooler using the included screw mounting system following the motherboard-specific orientation for mini-ITX layouts. Apply thermal paste to the CPU surface, position the cooler so the heatpipes contact the CPU baseplate evenly, and secure the mounting screws to achieve stable contact. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cable to a motherboard CPU fan header to enable automatic speed control. If additional cooling is needed, replace the supplied bottom fan mounting with the included brackets to mount a 120x120x12/15 mm or 120x120x25 mm fan for higher performance; ensure clearance for memory modules when changing fan positions.
Usage recommendations
Use the Black Ridge in systems with CPUs up to 95 W TDP and in cases that permit a cooler height of 47 mm. Do not rely on it for sustained overclocking of high-TDP 'K', 'X', or 'C' series processors when TDP limits are disabled or the motherboard raises CPU power automatically. For improved cooling, consider the alternative fan mounting options included, but verify RAM clearance and GPU/riser cable compatibility on your mini-ITX motherboard. Note that some AM4 mini-ITX boards from certain vendors may present assembly challenges due to component placement.
