Arctic Alpine 12 CO - CPU Luftkøler - Max 25 dBA

The high thermal conductivity of aluminum is fully retained by an innovative type of extrusion. This production process creates a powerful yet very compact radial heat sink. The particularly thin cooling fins of the Alpine are fanned out in a Y-shape. This increases the surface area of the heat sink and therefore the cooling capacity. The Alpine 12 CO is able to switch into silent passive mode when PWM signal is below 5% due to its motor. This allows working at your PC in complete silence without any unwanted noise.The Alpine 12 CO is powered by an updated motor and runs much more efficiently than its predecessors. Due to sinus-magnetizing the improved 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.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.A lower motor temperature roughly doubles the life span of a fan. The Arctic motor has a four times longer service life through its low coil temperature. The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation. Thanks to the push pins, the installation is really easy. Additional tools are not needed to install the cooler.
