ARCTIC Alpine 17 Intel Cooler

ARCTIC Alpine 17 | Compact Intel CPU Cooler

The ARCTIC Alpine 17 – Compact Intel CPU Cooler delivers reliable thermal performance for Intel processors in space-constrained builds. This single-fan air cooler combines a 9.2 cm PWM-controlled fan with a fluid dynamic bearing for quiet, efficient cooling suitable for systems with a 95 W TDP.

Key Specifications

Silent and Efficient Cooling

The Alpine 17’s fluid dynamic bearing technology ensures smooth, quiet operation with a maximum noise level of just 0.3 sone. The 4-pin PWM connector allows the fan to adjust its speed between 100-2000 RPM based on thermal demand, optimising both cooling performance and noise reduction. This makes it ideal for users who want effective cooling without the distraction of loud fans during everyday computing or light gaming.

Compact Design for Tight Builds

With its compact aluminium heatsink and single 9.2 cm fan, the Alpine 17 fits easily into small form factor cases where larger tower coolers won’t fit. The slim profile doesn’t compromise cooling capability for its intended 95 W TDP applications, making it perfect for mini-ITX builds, HTPCs, or any system where space is at a premium. The black and silver colour scheme also ensures it looks clean in most builds.

Easy Installation

The ARCTIC Alpine 17 is designed for straightforward installation on Intel LGA 1700 processors. The mounting system provides secure attachment to the motherboard without requiring excessive pressure or complex bracket configurations. This user-friendly approach means even first-time builders can install it confidently without specialised tools or extensive technical knowledge.
