Conclusions

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 installation was not a breeze, because we didn’t remove the motherboard from our case and the springs insisted on falling from the screws. However, it was not too difficult.
Thanks to its good cooling performance and a low noise level, we are giving the GlacialTech Alaska the Hardware Secrets Silver Award. We hope it won’t arrive on the market costing too much, otherwise it will lose its good cost/benefit ratio.
