Alpenfohn Black Ridge Review - A Low Profile Cooling MONSTER!

The Alpenfohn Black Ridge is supposed to be the best low profile CPU cooler available right now in 2022. But other than CPU cooling performance, the Black Ridge price and availability are two things we need to talk about. Then there's also performance vs Noctua L9 and Thermalright AXP-90 that might give the Black Ridge an edge since some fan mods with 120mm and 92mm fans can be done.
