From ARCTIC Press Release: ARCTIC introduces today the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO, a pair of compact air coolers designed exclusively for the Intel™ LGA1700 socket. With the release of its newest Alpine coolers, ARCTIC presents an affordable option for users looking to cool their Alder Lake processors. The successors to the Alpine 12 series retain its classic radial heatsink design but are specifically built for the LGA1700 socket
The cooler’s Y-shaped fin ensures optimal heat distribution in the heatsink, while heat dissipation is significantly enhanced by the Alpine 17’s large surface area and high airflow rate. With a low installation height of only 68.2 mm, the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO are ideal choices for most all-in-one systems as well as small cases (Mini-ITX, µATX etc.).
No mounting kits are necessary to install the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO. Indeed, no tools of any kind are needed: the coolers come with pre-applied MX-4 thermal paste and pre-mounted push pins, making installation an effortless process –even for beginners. Its 92 mm fan can be controlled via PWM. With its wide speed range, the fan guarantees flexibility of use and balanced, efficient cooling performance.
FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION: ALPINE 17 CO
The CO variant packs an even stronger punch: the Alpine 17 CO’s higher RPM brings with it a higher cooling performance. Specifically designed for continuous operation, the Alpine 17 CO’s high-precision dual ball bearing allows the cooler to last up to five times longer than coolers with standard bearings.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICES
Each new Alpine cooler comes with a 6-year warranty. The coolers are expected to be available in early April starting at $11.99 and available at the ARCTIC Amazon Store and retailers near you.
