The front of the retail packaging gives us a look at the product and a quick summary of the key features.
The back gives us a table of specifications but these can be found on the first page if you are struggling to read them.
Inside we find a very simple bundle of the heatsink, the fan and a single box of accessories beneath the fan.
The accessory box has a manual, 1/2 tube of thermal paste, retention ring, two fan clips and various mounting inserts.
Although I’ve known about them for some time Alpenfohn doesn’t seem to be a bad brand at all even though I’m yet to come across them. I should make make inquiries and see if I can’t lay my mitts on some.
I’m not sure what their regional operation is like. I’ve barely seen them in North America or Asia. I think they mainly have European focus and distributors – probably why their global reach is “limited” at best.
Just few deegres of difference beetwen this small CPU cooler and CNPS10X Optima? ;)
The DeepCool 400 FS still seems like a better buy in this segment. It has better mounting, rubber coated silent fan and does give you extra clips for Push pull. All for the same amount of money.
