Alpenföhn Launches Gletscherwasser AIOs in 240 mm, 360 mm, in Collaboration With Der8auer

Alpenföhn is a name that still hasn’t crossed TPU’s benchmark suites, but we have written about the brand in the past. The company is now launching a new AIO cooling solution, (well, cooling lineup) in the form of the Gletscherwasser AIOs, which are available in both 240 mm (240 mm and 240 mm HS) and 360 mm (360 mm and 360 mm HS) according to the employed fans. The Gletscherwasser was designed in conjunction with overclocking poster-child Der8auer, though the extent of this collaboration is unclear. The new AIOs do promise “high performance cooling in a near silent delivery”, as most brands do. The Gletscherwasser AIOs feature RGB lighting (via 2x 120 mm ARGB fans or 3x of such fans, according to the 240 mm or 360 mm model) as well as customizable top plates that users can change and customize to their liking. There’s a remote control for that ARGB goodness as well.

The pump on the Gletscherwasser AIO liquid coolers can be configured to either extreme performance or “virtual silence” (rated noise of 17.8 dBA). Alpenföhn promises an anti-leak design, with internal pressure avoiding any spillage should the potential for a leak occur (in all parts, including the 465 mm tubing that connects the pump to the radiators. The radiators are made of aluminium, coming in at 27 mm thickness. The Gletscherwasser 240 and 360 fans speeds range from 500 to 1600RPM, with a rated airflow of up to 92.6 m³/h, a maximum pressure of 2.19 mm Aq and a rated noise of up to 23.6 dBA, while the HS (High Speed) models fans are a bit faster and louder, reaching up to 2200RPM with a rated airflow of up to 132.4 m³/h, a maximum pressure of 3.24 mm Aq, and a rated noise of up to 36.8 dBA.

The Alpenföhn Gletscherwasser AIOs ship with Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal paste, and feature compatibility with a number of systems and sockets: fir Intel, you’re looking at LGA 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2066, 2011-v3, and 2011 socket support; on the AMD side, the TR4, sTRX4, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, and FM1 sockets are supported. The Alpenföhn Gletscherwasser 240 and 240 HS are both priced at £149.99, while the Gletscherwasser 360 and 360 HS are priced at £169.99, via OverclockersUK. That £20 difference accounts for one extra ARGB fan as well as the extra radiator real-estate, so it might be worth the trade-off in price.
