Compact Intel CPU Cooler   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... more-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.
