ARCTIC ALPINE 12 COMPACT INTEL CPU AIR COOLERCLICK HERE FOR FULL MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONSTop-Notch Price-Performance RatioThanks to its radial heat sink and good fan design, the Alpine 12 offers a lot of performance at a very low price point. In internal tests leveled to 28 dB(A), the cooling performance of the Alpine 12 exceeded the competition, in some cases by more than 10°C.*Improved Cooling Performance by New Production ProcessThe high thermal conductivity of aluminum is fully retained by a new type of extrusion. This new production process creates a powerful yet very compact radial heat sink. The particularly thin cooling fins of the new Alpine are fanned out in a Y-shape. This increases the surface area of the heat sink and therefore the cooling capacity.Wide rpm RangeThe Alpine 12 features a new motor technology with a very wide, PWM-controlled rpm range. This keeps the noise level at a minimum while guaranteeing maximum cooling performance when needed.Lower Power Consumption & Minimum VibrationThe new Alpine 12 is powered by an updated motor and runs much more efficiently than its predecessors. Due to sinus-magnetizing the new motor creates just 5 % of the vibrations from commutation of a regular DC-motor. These factors contribute towards saving energy, lowering the coil temperature and reducing vibrations to a minimum without compromising performance.Extended Life SpanA 10 °C lower motor temperature roughly doubles the life span of a fan. The new ARCTIC motor has a four times longer service life through its low coil temperature.High Quality BearingThanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. As a result, there is less heat development as well as less bearing noise, which means you can enjoy a longer service life from your fan.Pre-Applied MX-2 Thermal PasteThe pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation.Easy and Tool-Free InstallationThanks to the push pins, the installation is really easy. Additional tools are not needed to install the cooler.Quality You Can Rely OnTo ensure the longevity of our products, we carry out long-term tests under different, sometimes very adverse conditions. In this way, we learn how we can permanently improve our products for our customers. In addition, the excellent results of long-term testing give us the assurance that our products are not only outstanding in terms of quality, but also in terms of durability. This is a certainty that we are happy to pass on to our customers, which is why we give a 6-year manufacturer’s guarantee on the Alpine 12.
