The Swiss cooling solution provider Arctic Cooling announced the launch of the Alpine 64 Pro, a new product of the Alpine 64 series for AMD CPUs. The Alpine 64 Pro features a lot of high standard components. The 92mm fan comes with PWM function, which controls the fan speed, and thus, lowers the noise level to a minimum according to the CPU load.
The PWM function guarantees sufficient cooling at the lowest noise level possible and saves energy simultaneously. Together with the patented fan case, low noise impeller and the vibration absorption, the Alpine 64 Pro is as quiet as 0.4 Sone at full speed (2,000 rpm). Apart from the PWM fan, the Alpine 64 Pro also features an optimised heatsink and extremely low resistance thermal compound MX-2 for efficient heat dissipation from the core.
With the user-friendly design, the Alpine 64 Pro can be installed within seconds, by simple placing the Alpine 64 Pro on the CPU and locking two lugs with the retention module.
The Alpine 64 Pro comes with a 6-year limited warranty. It will be available in May 2009. The MSRP is US$10.9 and 7.60€ (excl. VAT).
