Compact Intel CPU Cooler for Continuous Operation
Alpine 12 CO
Designed by ARCTIC

Improved Cooling Performance by New Production Process
The 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 Range
The Alpine 12 series 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.
Easy and tool-free installation
Thanks to the push pins, the installation is really easy.
Additional tools are not needed to install the cooler.
The new Alpine 12 CO 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 commutation oscillations of a regular DC-motor.
These factors contribute towards saving energy, lowering
the coil temperature and reducing vibrations to a minimum
without compromising performance.

Lower Power Consumption & Minimum Vibration
The premium quality Japanese dual ball bearing allows
continuous operation 24/7 without the slightest
compromise in performance. Dust and high temperature are
affecting this bearing a lot less than generic sleeve or one
ball bearings and thus make it the perfect choice when
reliability is essential.
For Continuous Operation
Pre-applied MX-2 thermal paste
The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound
ensures fast and clean installation.
