"Alpenföhn may not be a name you have heard before and yet they have been in
the cooling business for a long time under the EKL brand, focussing mostly
on manufacturing OEM thermal solutions. Their products have been mostly for
the European market since its establishment in 1995. With the Alpenföhn
brand, they are targetting the enthusiast and consumer market. With an
extensive history in thermal applications, it would be very wrong to discard
them as just another "wannabe" brand.
Today, we have with us the Alpenföhn Nordwand. "Alpenföhn" refers to a cool
wind that affects the Alps, and the Nordwand, translated to North Face, is
commonly linked to one of the most notable mountains in the Alps, the Eiger.
The name of the towering heatsink is reminiscent of its formidably cold
origins and therefore, if its performance can be judged from the name alone,
we will be in for a very chilly blast...in a good way. On initial looks the
Nordwand sports very impressive specifications, using a direct contact heat
pipe design, 5 thick heat pipes and a cool blue high performance LED fan."
