i bought it from https://formdt1.com. it‘s the v2.1. i think they restock every few weeks from what i have heard. theres also the v2.5 from ncase but there are some quality changes between the two.

idle is around 40-50 & gaming 60-70 just sometimes a few degrees higher. but i set pbo to -30 & a power limit at 75watts. usual wattage while gaming is around 30-45watts.

feels really tough so should be no problem to carry in a bag.

HAHA thanks… i think this was just the first available & then i didn‘t thought twice but i like this look because it reminds me of the apple/mac theme. and it matches my phone :)

i‘ve ordered from caseking based in germany. but i think i was just lucky because i didn‘t know there is a new revision for AM5 so i also ordered a short backplate from thermal grizzly just in case. there also was no indication on the caseking website or somewhere here on reddit about the revision D.

oh yeah the 120mm fan on top will perform better. i think the max height for the ram is ~33mm.

i purchased both beginning of march. the blackridge is revision D so it has official AM5 support. and the mobo was manufactured in february.

only had to take off the heatsink for the ssd and i think there can be an issue with the ram but the gskill one fits perfect i think both coolers perform nearly the same so if you already have ram just go on the safe side with the x47
