EKL Unveils Alpenfohn Peter GPU Heatsink
Cooling specialist EKL unveiled the Alpenfohn Peter, a high-end VGA cooler which the company plans to release at this year's CeBIT event, in March. Visualized in CGI drawings below, Alpenfohn Peter is a large GPU heatsink which could span across the length of most high-end graphics cards. It makes use of two high-density aluminum fin arrays that use a zig-zag fin design to add turbulence and improve heat dissipation. Heat is conveyed to the two fin arrays by six nickel-plated copper heat-pipes that pass through the GPU block. For ventilation, Alpenfohn Peter will be the first VGA heatsink to use two massive 140 mm fans that latch on to it using a PCI bracket with a rail fastening system. The Alpenfohn Peter should be compatible with most square GPUs. More info and pictures at CeBIT.

Too right, I'll get one of these! love big heatsinks :laugh:
Think I'd strap some 92mms to it though.
Or run it demi passive and have the 140mm fans to the side of it instead.
( it looks small because it's next to 140mm fans, it looks to me like it will be same width as card if not a cm or 2 bigger, and length wise it's about 24 cm)
By the way mounting system looks universal so aslong as your gpu is far enough way from the pcie bracket (rev1 5770 = fail)
Even the fin design is very similar.
For example "Brocken" is iceblade pro by deepcool : ]
