Arctic Alpine 12 Low Profile Compact Heatsink & Fan Intel 115x Sockets Fluid Dynamic Bearing 6 Y

Top-Notch Price-Performance Ratio
Thanks to its radial heat sink and good fan design, the Alpine 12 LP 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 LP was on par with competition while offering a much smaller footprint at a more affordable price.

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 LP 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 LP 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 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.

Low Profile Design
With an installation height of only 42.2 mm, the Alpine 12 LP is particularly suitable for small and narrow housings. It is easy to assemble and allows full access to all components close to the CPU. The compact Top-Blower CPU cooler also cools areas around the CPU socket and is predestined for HTPC and Mini-ITX cases.
