Abstract: A few weeks ago we made the move to socket 2011, and having undertaken a group test of some of the more popular all in one water cooling solutions on the market we figured it was aout time we tried out a few traditional air coolers on the toasty socket 20...
It's holy trinity time chaps. Performance, looks and noise is what matters when we assess a cooler (ease of fitting is also a factor, but that messes up the "trinity thing").Looking at performance first it's easy to see that at both 4.0 and 4.2GHz the K2...
Alpenföhn's K2 CPU cooler is one of them big tower air coolers that will make you turn your head when you spot them. It's not alone by it's size that it manages to impress. It's overal design from the 8 massive heatpipes, the secure robust mounting ...
Not really much for me to say about the K2 is there? I mean you all saw how well it performed and it even managed to get very close to the award winning Phanteks cooler without even using two 140mm fans in push and pull. Of course that also mea...

Abstract: With its huge copper baseplate, a pair of densely packed aluminium fin towers and a whopping eight 6mm copper heat pipes, it's no surprise that Alpenföhn's K2 weighs more than 1kg – and that's before you include its pair of fans in the equation. All of th...
The K2 has lots to boast about both in terms of raw performance and aesthetics, but the Phanteks PH-TC14PE still trumps it on both counts here, although it is slightly more expensive. The similarly priced Noctua NH-D14, however, is its true competition gi...
Now that we've seen the K2 Mount Doom in its full glory, and we have seen how it performs in both the thermal and noise output departments, it's time to round up our thoughts. How does it actually perform? Is it worthy of your £60 or should you look elsew...
Alpenföhn's K2 may not break any CPU cooling barriers but that doesn't mean its performance is a disappointment. With the higher thermal loads that overclocks bring being put into question, the K2 actually manages to narrowly outperform Noctua's mighty NH...
Brilliant performance, Aesthetics and broad colour appeal, Very well packaged, Two quality PWM fans included, Low noise, Rich bundle, Support for Intel and AMD sockets (including LGA2011 mounting kit), Ease of installation, Innovative, Efficient, Excellen
Small clearance for very tall memory modules (Easily fixed by buying lower profile modules), Fan wire clips are tedious to install
So there we have it, the Alpenföhn have finally delivered to us what we were originally anticipating of the K2. Before going any further, I have to highlight and stress that this sample is no different visually to the initial prototype we received, th...

Cost, Small clearance for tall memory modules, Fan wire clips are tedious to install, Performance not as good as similarly sized and similarly priced competitors
The Alpenföhn K2’s first prototype unveiling at Cebit in March of this year raised many an eyebrow amongst cooling aficionados and certainly caught my attention. In many ways, it was a breath of fresh air and it was exciting to see Alpenföhn trying to...
