Alpine 12 LP Low-Profile CPU Cooler - 92mm [ACALP00029A]

Compact low-profile cooler designed for 75 watts
The Alpine 12 LP is not only small, but also a very reasonably priced model and specified for a maximum cooling power of a whopping 75 watts. The design immediately marks the Alpine 12 LP as a typical representative of Arctic Cooling. The upwardly projecting, Y-shaped, aluminum slats are covered by a 92 mm fan with black frame, which has no usual frame. This blows the cool air from above through the fins with white fan blades and thus also cools the surrounding components.

The unusual suspension is an integral part of the Silent concept, as it minimizes the transmission of vibrations. But also the special bearing of the fan and its low speed ensure a low operating noise. Thanks to the PWM function, the fan can be controlled between very low 100 and 2,000 revolutions and thus automatically adapted to the heat development.

The attachment is made with the help of push pins and is therefore possible quickly and easily. Thanks to the comparably low weight, there is no transport problem with this method. Thermal paste is also not needed because a layer of MX-2 thermal compound is already applied to the bottom. Unpack, touch down, press down, ready - it does not get any faster!

With its low height of only 42.2 mm makes the Alpine 12 Low Profile its name and is ideal for small and flat housing. It saves space, is easy to assemble and allows full access to all components near the processor. The compact Top Blower cooler also provides cool areas around the CPU socket and is predestined for HTPC and Mini-ITX enclosures.
