Packaging and Content


Box front

The box art features modest styling in the form of a mountain (A running theme with Alpenföhn) with the product name in bold black lettering. At the base we see an image of the cooler itself showing the copper base. The side lists all the product specifications and details a customer would need to know.


Box rear

On the reverse side of the box we see a continuation of the bold mountain art with a repeat product image. The side panel goes into some of the product design details of the trapezoid shaped fins and the precision milled copper baseplate.

Face down profile of the Matterhorn

The Matterhorn Pure with its complex geometry playing havoc with your eyes. The aluminium fins are sturdy, not giving way under the light pressure of general handling. The edges are smooth and doesn't feel as though you could cut yourself too easily, some coolers have fins that are akin to razors which cause fear in any enthusiast needing to reach into their case to plug/unplug the CPU fan, fortunately, not here.
