Abstract: For a long time, I was a cooling enthusiast; it was water or nothing. However, as improvements have been made over the last few years, the idea of air cooling has become an attractive option. The days of drilling holes in my case for mounting radiato...
I have to admit that Glacialtech Alaska cooler came late to the market. The new cooling solution is no longer as appealing at $45 MSRP, as it could be a year or one and a half years ago, neither in terms of cooling efficiency nor in terms of acoustic ...
Abstract: A promising looking tower heatsink, the Glacialtech Alaska CPU cooler sets itself apart with the use of perforated aluminum cooling fins, a pseudo-honeycomb cross sectional fin geometry and six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes tightly packed behind an in...
The Alaska has a very innovative fin design, called "breathing effect" by GlacialTech, based on holes and slopes on the fins. This design probably increases the airflow turbulence, improving heat transfer.The cooler is simple and looks nice. The instal...
Strange and difficult installation, Unreliable fan attachment, Fan can get noisy, May not fit in some cases (hit the top)
The GlacialTech Alaska surely is one of my worst installations I’ve had with a CPU cooler. The difficult installation angry mood was changed by the decent cooling performance, but yet again made me annoyed by the noisy fan. This CPU cooler is a sub-pa...

The Alaska proved to be unique with its adoption of a honeycomb hexagonal fin design in combination with cross-drilled vented fins. Glacialtech should be congratulated for thinking outside the box and providing a way to consumers to keep their machin...
Unique "breathing" fin design, Good performance, Support for dual fans, mounting hardware is even included, PWM controlled fan gives pretty quiet performance at lowload, Quiet operation
Narrow base, Scratches all over the otherwise perfectly smooth base were disappointing to see right out of the box
For around $49USD, GlacialTech has a well performing CPU cooler on their hands with the Alaska. The single 120mm fan, coupled with the unique "breathing" affect is certainly not disappointing at all in the performance tests. By including a second set o...
Abstract: Aside from the semi-transparent blue cooling fan, the Alaska looks and feels like an ordinary tower cooler. Its appearance gives no hints that this is a top performance product.The Alaska is a well made, durable cooler. We would have liked to see the base machined down to a mirror finish, as the pictures in the manufacturer's website suggest...
