testing out the Alpenföhn Nordwand CPU Cooler at the moment. at first i was sceptical, mainly due to the LED fan [which i dislike out of personal taste], however it seems to be holding its own

running at the same temperatures as a megahalem with a far superior fan [that you would have to buy seperatly and is much noisier] this cooler is holding its own on my test system

i7 920 D0 @4GHz
Asus Rampage2Extreme
6GB Corsair XMS3

i am mightily impressed at this cooler so far, identical temps to a megahalem and comes with a fan
its not too much hassle to fit either!

here is 15 hours of prime...

only drawback in my opinion is the lack of 1156 socket support

will keep you all posted :D
 
Bah humbug

Any plans on an adapter plate, that you know of?

not sure - i just know they cool well [and i am using the in box thermal paste] this is up against a megahalem with mx3 and a 1900rpm 110+ CFM fan!!!

i will ask Ace Modder if he knows any more info
