Alpenföhn Brocken 3 Revisited – worth a buy today?

Silas Newman December 20, 2018 Cooling, Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews

Rating: 8.0.

With new and updated versions of popular air coolers being released, you do start to see older options lowering in price or being available with a large discount. The Alpenföhn Brocken 3 is a perfect case in point – despite launching last year, it is currently available for £42.95 and boasts 100% RAM compatibility, as well as low noise levels. On the surface, it seems like a pretty good deal if you are looking for a new cooler today.

With older coolers comes the potential for newer socket incompatibility, or lack of support for more power hungry CPUs so a recent option may be the safer bet, but testing will show whether the Alpenföhn Brocken 3 is a bargain or just a little bit dated.
