Alpine AM4
The ARCTIC Alpine AM4 is a compact cooling solution for
®
AMD Socket AM4 and recommended for CPU with a TDP up to 95 W. A new production process of the extruded radial heatsink improves the cooling performance. With high-quality bearings and a newly developed motor, the fan is very quiet, efficient and durable.

High Quality Bearing
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.

Improved Cooling Performance by New Production Process
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.
Pre-applied MX-2 thermal paste
The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation.
0 dB Mode
The Alpine AM4 is able to switch into silent passive mode when PWM signal is below 5 % due to its new motor. This allows working at your PC in complete silence without any unwanted noise.
Extended Life Span
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.

Lower Power Consumption & Minimum Vibration
The new Alpine AM4 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 vibration 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.
