🌬️ ARCTIC Alpine 12 CO - Efficient CPU Cooler | Intel 115x & 1200 | 92mm PWM Fan Review

Different pros: Noiseless, adjustable speed automatically over a wide range. The thermal paste has already been applied. Got cons: Some troubles with fastening to the board. I figured it out for a long time.

I5 7400 Aida was 36-38 at rest and 55-57 at 100% stress. Quiet MX-4 paste is already on the radiator. 100% satisfied with the purchase

I was looking for a cooler heavier and better than the standard BOX, but with the same simple mount. Chose this model based on reviews. So far not disappointed. At the same speed with the BOX cooler, the core temperature is lower by 8 degrees. For lovers of silence: all the coolers that I came across (including this model) still have a very slight "hum", which disappears when you press your finger on the middle of the cooler or when you attach "ballast" to the cooler. To solve this problem, I

I'm running an Alpine 12 Passive with stock thermal grease over an unmodified *84W TDP* Intel Xeon E3-1226 v3 (Haswell Refresh); paired with ASRock H81 BTC Pro R2.0. I'm running it as an experimental storage server in my home lab. Installation was easy as the circuit board was already removed from my case. The most important thing to note: In my application, the heatsink is actively cooled. The main outlet for the case goes directly to this cooler. This exhaust fan is very powerful; Re-attached

Awkward replacement (you need to remove the entire motherboard because the screws are down!) different pair of corners. Make one pass a little looser, then another pass to tighten them.) But! Be silent. Worked great in a large case (15L) with a 35W Haswell 4c/4t processor. Maintains a temperature of 65-70 degrees Celsius even under gaming load. It doesn't compete with my i7-7700T because of the difference in power consumption, but because I have it in a narrower 7-liter case. Remember: either…
