Testurteil: "79%"
Test: Einzeltest: Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom
Zitat: The K2 has lots to boast about both in terms of raw performance and aesthetics, but the Phanteks PH-TC14PE still trumps it on both counts here, although it is slightly more expensive. The similarly priced Noctua NH-D14, however, is its true competition given that it´s also geared towards silent operation. This cooler also has a slight edge on Alpenföhn´s, especially at lower noise levels where the K2 appears to struggle slightly in more demanding set-ups. Coupled with a few irritations regarding its installation, where Noctua also happens to excel, the K2 just misses the mark when it comes to justifying not only its price, but its massive size and weight too. That said, the K2 is by no means awful, and adding it to your system would almost certainly give you very healthy CPU temperatures and a low noise output. However, all things considered, it still leaves us wanting a little more. Intel LGA1155 Score
