Powerful single tower with 210W TDP

"With the three new Dolomit coolers, Alpenföhn presents very strong competition for the Dark Rock range from be quiet in one go! Compared to the two smaller Dark Rock coolers, the Dolomit Advanced and Dolomit Premium in particular offer better performance, easier installation, space for high RAM (Dark Rock 4) and also have an optional ARGB fan, which you can simply leave out if required. This is good news for RGB fans in particular, as many air coolers are still stuck in the "pre-RGB age". All Dolomit models also come in a discreet black design and therefore fit in perfectly with most black mainboards. In terms of volume at maximum speed, the be quiet! models are a tick quieter in terms of measurements, as particularly quiet fans are the manufacturer's hobbyhorse. In practice, however, it is quite difficult to distinguish between the powerful models as they are not too far apart. If you reduce the fan speed, the differences become even smaller. The small Dolomit takes on an interesting special role in the new portfolio, it is compact, offers no RGB, but still offers space for high RAM, simple installation and good cooling performance, but is clearly audible at maximum speed, which can be adjusted via the fan curve. In terms of cooling performance, the small Dolomit also has nothing to hide and performs well, which may be of particular interest to owners of small cases with a low budget. With the new Dolomit series, Alpenföhn is launching a powerful and visually appealing new cooler series. Especially in combination with the Wing Boost 3 ARGB fans, the two larger models deliver an almost unrivalled look and are also affordable thanks to the restrained pricing policy."

"The new Alpenföhn Dolomit Premium leaves a very good impression on our editorial team. The clean build quality, the secure mounting system and the very good performance speak in favour of the tower cooler. The supplied PWM fan offers a great compromise between performance and volume. The attractive and fully customisable lighting (fan) is also very appealing. Last but not least, the price of just under 60 euros is extremely fair. We couldn't find any serious points of criticism."

"To put it in a nutshell, the Dolomites are very easy to install, offer space for high RAM, are black, have a high-quality finish, the two larger ones have RGB and they don't need to hide in terms of cooling performance either. The be quiet! fans are only better in terms of volume, although the small Dolomit is a little further behind here with its high maximum speed, although the fan can also be turned down. However, the latter is particularly interesting for compact systems. In conclusion, it can be said that the new Dolomit coolers from Alpenföhn don't need to hide from the competition from be quiet!"

Further information on the award

"With the Dolomit series, Alpenföhn has added a new cooler series to its Premium Line, which also aims to offer high-quality and powerful coolers. This is exactly where the new Dolomit Premium comes in, as the tower cooler not only has very compact dimensions, which means it offers the best possible compatibility with memories with high heat sinks, but can also be used in most gaming systems. Alpenföhn has given the cooler a discreet yet stylish design to suit this area of application, which has been combined with a very good ARGB fan. Where there is unfortunately no ARGB controller included in the scope of delivery and you are therefore dependent on a compatible mainboard or an optional control unit*, the fan in combination with the high number of cooling fins and the six cleanly processed heatpipes ensures good and at the same time pleasantly quiet cooling of the CPU used."
