Important note for the use of the Alpenfohn Black Ridge Please note that the Alpenfohn Black Ridge is a powerful cooler with a max. 95W TDP for use in compact cases. The cooler has a 92 x 92 x 15mm fan for the best possible compatibility and overclocking of your CPU is not recommended. Increases in performance can be achieved by the "Performance" or "Overclocking" mode with alternative fan assembly. How much the cooling capacity can be increased depends on the fan used in each of these two modes and can not be precisely specified by Alpenfohn®.

Nevertheless, it may happen that despite the supported TDP of your CPU, the performance of the heat sink is not sufficient. This problem can occur with K, X, and C processor series when TDP limitation is disabled, or the board overclocks the CPU automatically due to improper settings. This can e.g. lead to higher power consumption.
