Cougar Intros Forza 50 and Forza 85 Essential-series Tower-type CPU Coolers

Cougar introduced the Forza 50 Essential and Forza 85 Essential tower-type CPU coolers. The Forza 50 is the lighter and slimmer of the two, with a fin-stack thickness of 50 mm, while the Forza 85 Essential has an 85 mm-thick fin-stack, hence the names. The Forza 50 Essential uses a heatpipe direct-touch (HDT) base, and relies on four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes to pull heat from the CPU, and convey it through the fin-stack, while the Forza 85 Essential has six of these for the job, but through a nickel-plated copper base-plate.

Both models include a Cougar NHP120 fan. This 120 mm spinner takes in 4-pin PWM input, spins at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 84.48 CFM of airflow at 4.24 mm H?O static-pressure, and up to 34.5 dBA noise output. The fans feature hydraulic bearings. With the fan in place, the Forza 50 Essential measures 135 mm x 75 mm x 155 mm (WxDxH) weighing 772 g, while the Forza 85 Essential measures 135 mm x 110 mm x 155 mm, weighing 1.13 kg. Among the CPU socket types supported by both are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
