Alpenföhn Almost Ready with K2 High-End CPU Cooler
Alpenföhn is giving final touches to its K2 high-end CPU cooler. The K2 is large-size CPU cooler that resembles the Noctua NH-D14 in design. It uses eight 6 mm thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes that convey heat to two independent aluminum fin arrays. There are two fans that ventilate a fin array each, one pushes air onto the first array, while a second nested between the two arrays, conveys air to the second. Alpenföhn's innovation here is the unique wavy pattern that differently-sized aluminum fins form, probably improving heat dissipation by creating high-pressure areas. The K2 comes with two, WingBoost fans the first one is 120 mm, and the one in the middle is 140 mm. Expect the Alpenföhn K2 to be priced around the €75 mark.

this could seriously kick ass.
Alpenföhn does not exist on this side of the world.
Like that the fans blend in better then the Noutua but I doubt it would be more then 1-2 degree celcius better then the Noctua DH-14.
My right side of the brain "That looks so sweet! Goodbye megahalems, Hello Apenfohn!"
It's not called right side of the brain for nothing... (do want!)
also how heavy WILL this be? D:
