Top-Notch Price-Performance Ratio

Thanks 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 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.

0 dB Mode

The Alpine 12 is able to switch into silent passive mode when PWM signal is below 5 % due to its new motor. This allows working at your PC in complete silence without any unwanted noise.

Lower Power Consumption & Minimum Vibration

The 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 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.

High Quality Bearing

Thanks 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 Paste

The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation.

Easy and Tool-free Installation

Thanks to the push pins, the installation is really easy. Additional tools are not needed to install the cooler.

"An excellent alternative for Intel stock coolers!"
If you're looking for a budget cooler and don't own a very power hungry CPU or don't plan on overclocking, the ARCTIC Alpine 12 is a tempting buy, as it presents a cooler and quieter alternative for the stock cooler, especially for the low price point. We can easily recommend it.
The ARCTIC cooler is silent and without OC it can cope with any processor calmly. It is also reasonably well made. For sure it is a better option than a boxed cooler.
What Next PL
The ARCTIC Alpine 12 is for everyone, who assembles a compact PC with a MIni ITX motherboard in a compact case. The recommended price is rather affordable and the very wide RPM range is very useful.
