- ReasonsToBuy: Top-Notch Price-Performance Ratio||Thanks to its radial heat sink and good fan design, the Alpine 12 offers a lot of performance at a very low price point. In internal tests leveled to 28 dB, the cooling performance of the Alpine 12 exceeded the competition, in some cases by more than 10°C.*

- Improved Cooling Performance by New Production Process|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f1ce68f2304175732.jpg|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-shape. This increases the surface area of the heat sink and therefore the cooling capacity.
- Lower Power Consumption & Minimum Vibration|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f2c61e3d733168744.jpg|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|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f346f73e725105915.jpg|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|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f3b98f9b705907115.jpg|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|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f4171561741151772.jpg|The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation.
- Easy and Tool-free Installation|http://images.icecat.biz/img/bullets/62351614-5c407f477ec36509929416.jpg|Thanks to the push pins, the installation is really easy. Additional tools are not needed to install the cooler.
