Alpenföhn have some exciting new coolers on the horizon. K2, Gotthard, Himalaya and Peter. Strange names but very promising solutions.
Alpenfohn are a young brand with lots of flare and passion for cooling. You may not have heard of them yet but they have a very promising future. They already have a small portfolio of coolers that have roused attention, all for a good reason and their new batch of coolers due for release soon were shown to us at CeBIT 2011. I can tell you that on the surface they are look fantastic. I have been assured by Alpenfohn that these coolers will match/outdo current cooling leaders Thermalright/Noctua.
For the moment we have very little information in terms of technical specifications, but enjoy these pictures. We have already registered keen interest in the brand and we are looking forward to getting our hands on them pre-release.
