The Fortis 3 EVO ARGB specification looks pretty good. The cooler is designed to work with processors up to 220W TDP what covers pretty much every modern processor. We have to remember that the TDP is something other than the CPU wattage, so the results can be different from expected. The latest AMD and Intel processors are usually far from their specified TDP and cooler requirements.
The Fortis 3 EVO ARGB is compatible with all modern CPU sockets, excluding TR4, which requires a larger base and cooler performance. For these processors, we recommend the SilentiumPC Navis series coolers.
The ARGB should work with the most popular motherboards. In case if there is any problem, then we can always use included Nano-reset ARGB controller. It’s probably my favorite ARGB/RGB controller, as it’s small and works exactly as it should.
Below are some additional pictures with cooler dimensions.
On the next page, we will take a closer look at the cooler.
