Features & Specifications

Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure

Fin Design
The special trapezoid shaped fins that are placed in a 180° rhythm creating two essential advantages:
- Narrow Fin pitch in the center of the heatsink. This feature increases the thermal surface and ensures a higher heat dissipation

- Wide fin pitch at air inlet area. By having a wide fin pitch at the air inlet area the Alpenföhn „Matterhorn" can be run with very low fan speed as the airflow faces less resistance.

Despite that the "Matterhorn" cooler has closed sides. This helps guiding the air through the narrow fin area and offers better mechanical stability.

Heatpipe/Baseplate

The six U-shape Heatpipes have a large contact area to the full copper baseplate to optimize the heat-transfer from the CPU. By precision CNC machining the surface of the base plate is extremely flat.

120mm WB-Pure Fan:

The award-winning WB-technology maximize cooling and minimize noise due to an optimized fan blade design.
In combination of 4 de-vibration rubber elements and HD bearing the new WingBoost Pure fan is nearly inaudible.
The new "plus-function" gives you the possibility to control a further PWM fan with one PWM connector of the Motherboard.
