Alpenfohn

A few of my regular shops have just got a whole bunch of stuff from this company.

Some of it looks epic.

Apparently this one is the best performing DTT cooler you can get D:
Its only a few degrees of the new Noctua 14cm monster.

Last one looks like Noctua with DHC base.

A German PC magazine has done quite a few reviews on their CPU coolers. I only remember the "Grossclock'ner", which received pretty good ratings.

Check here

Google some reviews of them. They are really good coolers and very well build.

Yet you misspelled their name. You Americans (edit: English people), why don't you acknowledge ä, ö and ü

Most if not all Alpenföhn products have names of Austrian/German/Swiss heritage, like "Grossclock'ner" (in reference to a mountain named "Grossglockner" I think), The "case Spätzle" (rubber grommets named after food) and of course "Heidi", and you damn better know Heidi from Maienfeld in Graubünden

I don't quite know what I want to say with this post, so uhm... they're good products, give them a try. PCGH loves them and mentiones the coolers as much as we mention the Xiggys.

Alpenföhn makes a lot more sense than Alpenfohn. ^^
