EKL Readies Matterhorn CPU Cooler
EKL brand Alpenföhn unveiled its newest CPU cooler, the Matterhorn. This cooler measures 138 x 100 x 158 mm, and weighs 1067 g (2.35 lbs). The construction is similar to that of several coolers in its category. A pre-lapped copper base draws heat from the CPU. From this, six heatpipes pass, conducting heat to a block of aluminum fins. The fins have notches that help heat dissipation over the air being blown by an attached Föhn120 Wing Boost 120 mm fan, which spins at 500 to 1500 rpm, with a max noise output of 24.8 dBA. The Matterhorn supports most current CPU sockets including LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, AM3, AM2(+). Its price and availability are yet to be known.

Now that's out the way, this thing looks awesome and if its anything like Alpenföhn's other coolers it will be epic and way up there in terms of performance : ]
Its just sensible D:
Alpenfóhn are a great brand, they make a lot of really good stuff, check out the quality of this one of their other coolers "Brocken"
Oh found fan specs seems they've supplied a real good one

Looks pretty much designed for low rpm fans.. check how wide those gaps are
Oh and that thing is massive, could hardly fit it in my case. But it's good, and that new one is surely too.Gaps look bigger than they are in reality, as the fins overlap each other. If you look the middle part, it's like that the whole cooler. See how the bottom fin goes from side to side.
Cmon guys if your going to criticise or make statements back them up please.
Check out the review for the Brokken cooler

That's above average, this cooler is even bigger and has a better fan, If I were a betting man I'd say this will be a top end air cooler competing with thermalright/noc stuff.
Gota love german engineering :p
with personal signature by her!
She was only employed to do that!:laugh:
@ Don, I sure hope he does :laugh:
Imagine if he advertised the thing XD
EKL = Alpenföhn = German Company
Noctua = Austrian Company
