Specification Sheet

The ARCTIC Alpine 12 CO is a compact cooling solution for
Intel CPU Socket 1200, 115X and recommended for CPU
with a TDP up to 100 W.
Thanks to its japanese dual ball bearing, the ARCTIC Alpine
12 CO is optimised for continous operation.
A new production process of the extruded radial heatsink
improves the cooling performance.
With highest-quality bearings and a newly developed motor,
the fan is very quiet, efficient and durable.

Top-Notch Price-Performance Ratio
Thanks to its radial heat sink and good fan design, the Alpine 12 CO offers a lot of
performance at a very low price point.
In internal tests leveled to 28 dB, the cooling performance of the Alpine 12 CO
exceeded the competition, in some cases by more than 10°C.*

Extended Life Span
A 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.
