“The EKL Alphenfohn GroB Clock’ner Blue Edition heatsink is unique for a couple reasons; as you’ve probably already realized it closely resembles the Sunbeam Core Contact Freeze, but that’s not what we’re referring to. No, what makes the tediously named EKL Alphenfohn GroB Clock’ner Blue Edition heatsink stand out in our books is a full copper base around the copper heatpipes, and a very special, very thin 38x38mm square piece of heat transfer metal supplied with it.

The EKL Alphenfohn GroB Clock’ner Blue Edition is quite the mouthful to try to order if you can find it for sale. It’s claim to fame is the inclusion of a Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad to use instead of thermal paste or a TIM pad. FrostyTech’s testing shows it to be a midrange cooler with a quieter fan than most of the competition. It won’t find a home in a dedicated overclockers system, but many others could certainly consider it for all but a Socket 1366 based PC.
