No fans: Absolute silence at ideal temperature
The 557 gram block of pure aluminum absorbs the waste heat of the processor on the ground, passes it on to the aluminum fins and releases them there to the ambient air. The matte black anodization of the entire heat sink creates a microporous surface, which increases the cooling surface at the microscopic level and thus further improves the heat-emitting capabilities. Thanks to the passive design without fan, hardly any dust settles, so that the radiator can be used for years without maintenance.

Silent cooling for AMD's AM4 platform
AMD Logo For more than four years, AMD has been working on the "Zen" microarchitecture for its x86 processors, with which the chipmaker initiated the recapture of the high-end segment in early 2017. With the corresponding motherboards based on the socket AM4, the chipmaker laid the foundation for the coming years. The small black cooling cube supports processors up to a thermal design power (TDP) of 47 watts, with all CPUs / APUs over 35 watts TDP depending on the other case ventilation at high load may be able to slow down their clock.

The perfect solution for multimedia, casual gaming & office
This makes the Arctic Alpine AM4 ideal for entry-level PCs, casual gaming setups or office and workstations in all form factors - right down to the miniature ITX. AMD's Bristol Ridge Series APUs (AMD A6 to A12) with a configurable TDP of 45 watts or fixed TDP of 35 watts or CPUs / APUs of the Raven Ridge series (AMD Athlon 200GE, Ryzen E series), also 35 Watt TDP are especially predestined for powerful and completely silent multimedia PCs.

Easy installation & 6 years warranty
An uncomplicated and reliable installation of the Arctic Alpine AM4 is made possible by the enclosed mounting materials, with which the aluminum block is simply screwed into the already existing backplate of the AM4 socket. Conveniently, there is already an Arctic MX-2 heat transfer fluid on the bottom of the radiator, eliminating the need for additional accessories to use the Arctic Alpine AM4. Due to the absolute maintenance-free Arctic manufacturer gives this product a warranty period of a lavish 6 years!
