Standard CPU coolers, while adequate for managing basic thermal loads, often
fall short in terms of noise reduction and superior cooling efficiency. This
limitation drives advanced users and system builders to seek aftermarket
solutions tailored to their specific needs. The high-end aftermarket cooler
market is highly competitive, with manufacturers striving to offer products
with exceptional performance.

Endorfy, previously known as SilentiumPC, is a Polish manufacturer that has
undergone a significant transformation to expand its presence in global
markets. The brand is known for delivering high-performance cooling solutions
with a strong focus on balancing efficiency and affordability. By rebranding
as Endorfy, the company aims to enter premium market segments while
continuing to offer reliable, high-quality cooling products.

SilentiumPC became very popular in the value/mainstream segments of the PC
market with their products, the spearhead of which probably was the Fera 5
cooler that we reviewed a little over two years ago and had a remarkable
value for money. Today's review places Endorfy's largest CPU cooler, the
Fortis 5 Dual Fan, on our laboratory test bench. The Fortis 5 is the largest
CPU air cooler the company currently offers and is significantly more
expensive than the Fera 5, yet it still is a single-tower cooler that strives
to strike a balance between value, compatibility, and performance.
