Alpenföhn K2 Dual Tower CPU Cooler Review
Luke Hill / 12 years ago
We repeated the testing procedures with our Intel Core i7 2600K CPU overclocked to 4.4GHz using a BIOS voltage of 1.240V which crept up to a maximum of 1.288V under load conditions. We must remind you that we have discovered our processor runs slightly hotter than usual, but seeing as all tests use the same CPU, the results aren’t biased.
With an increased thermal load Alpenföhn’s K2 manages to improve its performance relative to the competing coolers. The performance of Noctua’s NH-D14 is surpassed albeit by 0.5°C. The 2 air cooling kings from Phanteks and Thermalright still prove tough competition with leads of 3.5° and 3.0°C, respectively.
