There are countless products in the field of cooling components, but only a few manage to offer a perfect balance of performance, design and price. The Endorfy Fortis 5 Black ARGB fan aims to do just that. We’ll see if it succeeds. In this review, I take a close look at the fan and discuss all the relevant aspects – from performance to workmanship. In doing so, I am continuing the work of Tim, who is concentrating on his new favorite areas.
Packaging and scope of delivery
The packaging is kept simple. Brown cardboard with black print, the front presents the cooler and highlights certain aspects. You don’t have to make an art out of it, because it’s always what’s inside that counts.
On the back are details about the contents of the box.
Inside, the heatpipes and the cooling surface are protected by a foam block, while the two accessory boxes on the left and right provide adequate protection.
The accessories are straightforward and practical. Four brackets for 140 mm fans, spacers, a wrench, the SATA connection cable and the brackets including small parts for the supported sockets. The included Pactum PT-3 thermal paste rounds off the accessories.
Assembly and installation
Installation of the Fortis 5 Black ARGB fan is extremely simple. The fan comes with all the necessary mounting materials. With the AM5 socket I used, the two existing plastic brackets are first removed and replaced with four spacers and a mounting frame. The backplate of the mainboard is reused.
The cooler is then fixed in place with two screws. On a positive note, the fan can be adjusted in height and therefore also offers space for large memory modules . Installation can be completed in just a few minutes, even without experience.

Below is an overview of the key technical data. Further information can be found on the manufacturer’s product page.
