Cougar Rolls Out the Forza 85 CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Cougar today rolled out the Forza 85, a premium tower-type CPU cooler. The cooler features a conventional aluminium fin-stack tower-type design; but with a 85 mm-thick fin-stack, and high fin-density (50 fins). The heatsink is capped off with a brushed-aluminium top-plate. The design involves six 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes making indirect contact with the CPU at the mirror-finish nickel-plated copper base, conveying heat through the fin-stack, which is ventilated by a single 120 mm fan. The heatsink is capable of holding two fans (push-pull). It is offset slightly to one side, to create clearance for the memory slots.

The included Cougar Vortex MHP120 fan with this cooler turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 82.48 CFM of air-flow, at 4.24 mm H₂O air-pressure, and 31.68 dBA maximum noise output. The fan features hydro-dynamic bearing. Among the CPU socket types supported by the Cougar Forza 85, are LGA1700, AM4, and LGA1200. With the fan in place, the cooler measures 135 mm x 110 mm x 160 mm (WxDxH), and weighs 1.16 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing information.

Looks good IMO.
I might have to see if they are available and how much.

That (on mobile) looks like a render. Think AsRock wants to see the actual milling. Me too.

Ugh, why not under 155mm... does anybody know if the heatpipes need to have so much space until they go into the cooler? They already gave it a low profile mounting system (the low screws leave a lot of space to push everything down...), why not make it compatible with more ITX cases -.-!

100% a render.

You dirty little...

As for the cooler - looks really good (at least on renders). Now to wait for reviews.

There is only a certain amount of design that can be done with tower air coolers. What's on the market today has reached its limit imo. It's a bit like trying to reinvent the wheel.

It's usually for clearance; 120mm towers that are under 155mm often have RAM clearance issues,

If you add setback to clear the RAM then you need height to accommodate the bend radius of some heatpipes, and the setback will potentially interfere with the VRM heatsinks on the opposite side if the whole thing is too low.

Realistically if you are struggling for height clearance then you should either look at a top-down cooler or just get an AIO
