Introduction

SilentiumPC is a relative newcomer in the DIY PC space, having entered the market in 2007. Since then, the Polish company has come a long way. They started small with the release of their "Zephyr" fan. From those humble origins, they have expanded rapidly and earned numerous awards along the way. Their products now include fans, CPU coolers, cases, power supplies, and all-in-one liquid coolers. With consistent value-focused designs, they continue to grow, so it will be interesting to see what the future holds as they continue to push forward.


In today's review, I will be looking at the SilentiumPC Fortis 5 and Fortis 5 Dual Fan. While the coolers are essentially the same with the latter having a second fan, a single fan version with ARGB is also available if you are into that. However, since all coolers share the same base design and features, I will cover both of them in this review. Considering how well the Fera 5 series performed, I am excited to see if the Fortis 5 series is another step up. It packs the same six-year warranty, but offers more surface area for improved cooling, and when you factor in the offset design, it should avoid potential conflicts with both memory and the graphics card, but that will be verified later in the review. So without further ado, let's see what the Fortis 5 and Fortis 5 Dual Fan have to offer!
