Description

The completely newly developed JetStream fans

The new JetStream fan sets new standards in the Alpenföhn portfolio! An airflow-optimised impeller, a further developed frame and a Next-Gen bearing ensure outstanding running smoothness with maximum performance. The JetStream's anti-vibration pads also minimise any vibrations.

High-end heatpipes & copper base plate

The 6 high-end heatpipes have a very large connection to the nickel-plated copper base plate and can therefore optimally absorb the waste heat from the CPU. As a result, the heatpipes transport the waste heat from the processor quickly and efficiently to the large heat sink.

Matt black surface coating

The entire heat sink of the Brocken 4 has a stylish matt black coating. Black is beautiful - we think so too!

Asymmetrical heat sink

The asymmetrical design of the Brocken 4 allows maximum flexibility in the selection of RAM modules. No matter how high the heatspreader of the module may be - it fits easily!
100% RAM compatibility on 1700, 1200, 115X, AM5 and AM4 sockets.

Rock Mount 3 mounting system

The RockMount3 mounting system included in the scope of delivery offers a secure hold on the sockets:
Intel® LGA: 1700, 1200, 115X, 20XX
AMD: AM5, AM4

Expandable fan configuration

For even more performance, four fan brackets and corresponding decoupling elements are included in the scope of delivery. This allows you to easily mount an additional 120 mm fan on the back of the heat sink and thus increase the cooling performance even further.

Awards

"With the Brocken 4, Alpenföhn has catapulted its Brocken cooler series into the modern age. This is evident not only in its appearance, but also in its compatibility and cooling performance. Even though Alpenföhn has dispensed with RGB lighting or an illuminated fan on the new Brocken 4, Alpenföhn has succeeded in giving the cooler a very chic and discreet design. Thanks to the chosen design, the new Brocken 4 CPU cooler offers very good compatibility with small cases and memory with high heatspreaders. With the selected fin design, which ensures a quiet and good air flow thanks to the aerodynamic structure in combination with the JetStream fan used, the new Brocken 4 CPU cooler achieves very good cooling performance. This is not only high enough to cool a mid-range gaming system, but the Brocken 4 can also easily cool a particularly fast CPU. The new Brocken 4 is priced at €64.90 at market launch 🛒."

Further information on the award

"Was the wait for the new revision of the Alpenföhn Brocken 4 worth it? From our point of view, definitely. With the Brocken 4, Alpenföhn has put together a CPU cooler with an excellent overall package. The CPU cooler has a visually appealing and timeless design, fits into many smaller cases thanks to its height of just 155 millimetres and achieves outstanding performance for a single-tower design. These positive features are rounded off by a high-quality and quiet fan, high socket compatibility and easy installation. Finally, the build quality leaves no room for criticism. You can't really ask for more from a CPU cooler."

"The Brocken 4 and the Brocken 4 Max leave us with an all-round successful impression in the test, whereby we like the Brocken 4 Max a tick better. But first things first. Both new coolers combine a discreet design, high-quality workmanship and an extensive accessory package as well as simple and good installation. In terms of pure volume, the Brocken 4 is ahead, while the Brocken 4 Max is more convincing in terms of pure cooling performance. However, both coolers have in common that they run very quietly and offer good cooling performance for their size."

Further information on the award

"Of course, Alpenföhn is not reinventing the wheel with the Brocken 4, but they have created a well-rounded overall package. The cooler is large, but maintains compatibility in every dimension as far as possible. It is only 155 mm high and therefore fits into many cases. It is also not too wide and leaves the RAM slots free despite its depth. Assembly is also up to date and can be completed quickly thanks to the screwdriver supplied. The new JetStream fan supplied has a high bandwidth and can be powerful but also very quiet and can be throttled down to low rpm. Details such as the permanently integrated decouplers round off the impression. The package also looks good. Black always fits somehow, especially with the stylish cover plate and the hidden heatpipes, the cooler looks very good."

Further information on the award

"The Alpenföhn Brocken 4 is an absolutely recommendable cooler of the current generation. It has a very stylish design, an extremely high-quality finish and numerous small details that sometimes make the difference in this segment. It offers a high level of compatibility, simple installation that is completed within minutes and generally offers a very well-rounded overall package. At a reduced fan speed, it is also virtually silent and can no longer be heard from the system. In our scenario, this was the case at around 1000 to 1200 revolutions. Even with reduced fan performance, good to very good performance values are still offered, which can sometimes compete with even more expensive and supposedly better models."

Further information on the award

"The new Brocken 4 from Alpenföhn also impresses as a single-tower cooler. For an absolutely fair 64.90 euros, you get an excellent air cooler that can also easily cope with smaller overclocking experiments. The first-class build quality, very good cooling performance, high RAM compatibility and the secure mounting system (including practical screwdriver) speak in favour of the purchase. Once again, the quiet yet powerful JetStream fan from our own production is more than convincing. As we could not find any serious points of criticism, we give it an unreserved recommendation to buy!"

Further information on the award

"This is a direct hit for Alpenföhn, because the Brocken 4 is an excellent air cooler that offers sufficient cooling reserves even with slight overclocking. (If you want more OC'ing, wait for the MAX test). It is also very quiet, giving Noctua and be quiet! a run for their money! All in all, it offers a lot of advantages, such as excellent build quality, easy installation, a great package (an extremely handy screwdriver) and no interference on modern motherboards. If you can find one for the MSRP, just get it."
