Features
HDC-Technology:
This technology enables direct heat dissipation through the heat pipes to the aluminium fins which ends up in high thermal performance at a compact size.
Fin Design:
By having a wide fin pitch at the air inlet area, the Alpenföhn Triglav can be run with very low fan speed as the airflow faces less resistance. Despite the heatsink’s closed sides, it helps guide the air through the narrow fin area and offers better mechanical stability.
Heat pipes:
Alpenföhn Triglav is the first cooler worldwide with 3x10mm heat pipes, which are in direct contact with the CPU because of the HDC Technology (Heat pipe Direct Contact).

The Alpenföhn Triglav has some very interesting design features; most notably the 10mm thick heat pipes that promise to deliver superior performance to narrow more conventional heat pipes. While this is highly welcomed, three pieces might not be enough to compete with 4x8mm or 6x6mm designs. As such Alpenföhn have other innovative features borrowed from their other products to deliver performance. HDC technology makes a return from the likes of the Nordwand, while the fin design shares the same characteristics as the Matterhorn’s. Despite our reservation on the fin design, it has been tweaked to create a higher surface area whilst retaining the same advantages of lower resistance.
The Triglav is a fairly sizeable heatsink despite its lower heat pipe count but not comparable to our high end coolers. At 59mm thick, it is 16mm narrower than the Matterhorn. The only cooler to be narrow is Thermalright’s Archon at 53mm but the latter is much larger in all other dimensions. The Triglav is also 4mm shorter length-ways when compared to the Matterhorn. However it does compensate in its height by being 5.5mm taller.
The bundled 120mm fan is akin to the Nordwand and Brocken’s. It boasts PWM functionality and purple LED fan ensuring good performance as well as aesthetics.
