Compact Intel CPU-Cooler Arctic Alpine 17, 1700

The Alpine 17 is exclusively compatible with Socket LGA1700 and Intel's latest Alder Lake CPUs. The Alpine 17 features a very wide PWM-controlled speed range. This reduces noise to the minimum while also guaranteeing the highest cooling performance. With the MX-4 already pre-applied, the Alpine 17 can be mounted directly. Thanks to the push pins, installation is a breeze. Additional tools are not needed to mount the cooler. Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction inside the bearing is reduced and higher efficiency is achieved. In this way, less heat develops, there is less bearing noise and the fan life is extended. The extra fine cooling fins of the new Alpine are fanned out in a Y-shape. The high thermal conductivity of the aluminum is fully retained in the type of extrusion used. This novel production process makes it possible to produce a high-performance yet very compact radial heat sink. This results in an increase in the surface area of the heat sink, optimization of the airflow and thus an increase in cooling performance.
