About this item

  • EXCELLENT COOLING: A 92 mm PWM fan on an aluminum extrusion heatsink in combination with pre-applied MX-2 high performance thermal compound provides good cooling performance and improve heat transfer from the CPU.
  • ULTRA-QUIET: Thanks to the PWM control, the fan speed adjusts according to the CPU temperature. And its low noise impeller, the patented fan holder and the anti-vibration parts ensure the fan to work quietly even under full load.
  • WIDE-COMPATIBILITY WITH AMD SOCKETS: Its simple mounting system is designed to fit most of today's CPUs. It’s compatible with AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+), FM1.
  • VIBRATION ABSORPTION: The patented vibration absorption fan holder is the key to keep the Alpine 64 PRO inaudible. It absorbs vibration caused by the spinning of the fan and thus it's barely heard even when it's running at full speed.
  • EASY & FAST INSTALLATION: The mounting of the Alpine 64 PRO is easy and quick. It is also absolutely transport proof, the MX-2 thermal compound already pre-applied onto the heatsink.

A long needed upgrade for old system
I could go on at length about this product, I knew my old stock cooler was noisy and running a bit hot but this new block and fan has really shown me how bad the old one was.My fault for not upgrading earlier, when I took the old block out there was almost no thermal paste left on the chip or base of the cooler just a few spots of dust which literally disappeared with a blast from an air can and a quick wipe off with a bit of kitchen roll.Took me literally 2 mins to fit new cooler, took longer by far to unplug all the cables in back of pc so I could pull it out and work on it, and give it a damn good blow out with air can.In the photos you can see the size difference in the 2 coolers but don't worry it fitted in the same place with no problems. It is running fine and has dropped temperature down from the high 40'Cs down to low 30'Cs when idling along, when gaming its the same, temps are down on average 20 degrees at least and it is now so much quieter, and my pc has 5 case fans as well (bit overkill tbh).It came with pre-applied thermal paste on it so good on them for that, if you are planning on overclocking an old chip with this I would recommend getting a good quality thermal paste (MX4) and applying that instead but I am just trying to squeeze a few more months life out of this system before I upgrade the whole thing.If your thinking about it just buy this, its cheap as chips and well worth it.

    This fan is top notch quality all around. I was really surprised at what I got in the post. Arrived on Sat (expected Monday). Compares to fans that cost three or four times as much. I'm using this with an AMD 2.7ghz FM1 processor. It's one of AMD's new fangled designes which incorporates graphics into the cpu itself. It's a good value CPU so check it out. The stock heatsink/fan they provide is probably the whimpiest looking thing I've ever seen.. but the cpu only runs at 65watts and just like me, is designed to always keep it's cool, so it works fine for stock settings.

    However.

    I upgraded my system with a HD6850 graphics card and wanted to overclock the cpu using the no-brainer method of increasing the multiplier. That steps up the processor from 2.7ghz to 3.0ghz. It makes a real improvement for games like Crysis 2 and FarCry 3. Everything running on max settings with the only bottleneck being the cpu. The old fan would give me a BSD at 3ghz after 4 minutes. This new fan kicks out any heat generated and works fantastic. No temp problems at all even after heavy gaming for long periods. When I touch the heatsink, it barely feels warm.

    However, I should mention that it's a big beast of a thing. Much bigger than I expected as the pictures gives the impression that it's the same size as the stock. The heatstink sits pretty close to my first memory module on my Biostar A75MH motherboard. I could maybe slip a credit card in between. Someone else mentioned having to remove the memory to complete installaton. Not good. Other than that, it's a fantastic purchase for under £10 with free shipping.

    I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a pro cooler at a discount price!!
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2014
    This new cooler has been running for several hours now. It runs under normal load at a quiet hum under 4-pin PWM control and seems to be keeping the CPU at a very stable temperature after my last cooler (different model and make) failed on me. It's quite a sturdy build, aesthetically pleasing to look at for those of you who like side windows in their cases. Connections between the parts of the cooler seem cushioned to reduce vibration noise to a degree of care I haven't seen in other similarly priced coolers. My one issue was with the fitting. Every CPU cooler I've used in the past have been of the kind that use a locking lever to secure the cooler to the motherboard. This doesn't have that, and I'm sure it's to cut down on parts that may vibrate and increase noise levels. Instead it has two screws to loosen the brackets, then tightened to secure after it's been clipped to the motherboard. This was very fiddly as a repair job in a fully built PC and on my first attempt I didn't get a good seal with the thermal paste onto the CPU requiring a second attempt (which, depending on if you made a connection of some sort or not, would require a tube of thermal compound at hand). However, I got there in the end and this is my only negative remark about this cooler. It shouldn't be an issue at all on a newer build where I would suggest fitting the cooler early on when you have more room to work inside the computer case.

    Overall, I'm very impressed especially considering the lower end price.

    Comments relate to use with a AMD Althon X4 840 Processor on FM2+ Socket

    Fitting was easy, just unscrew the two side screws a bit, then place on the processor, connect the two clips, and screw tight.
    The processor is rated as 72 Celsius (Core Temp/Margin) and 95 Watts. This fan is rated as 90 Watts.

    Fan runs at 25% when idle ~950rpm, and I would say its quiet, but by no means loud. An important point is that as it's a PWM fan, as it speeds up with loading there is little change in the sound - just a sort of quiet bee hive buzz. I didn't think the fan was all that large and sits quite low.

    Tip: If you are using a AMD processor you should download their 'AMD Overdrive' software. The way AMD rate their processors is not quite as obvious as it seems. The temperature quoted is the Core Margin not the CPU Temp! With the software above you will get a display of the Core Margin from the 'Board Status' page. The temperature when completely idle should correspond the processor's rating - if this is way off the cooling fan is not making proper connection with the CPU. This piece of software also has a 'Stability Test' which will drive all the processor at 100% loading for hours, should you wish. This is worth doing as you will be able to determine your overall PC cooling margin when fully loaded - minus any heat from a discrete graphics card if you have one. Be aware that other temperature determining software would not necessary report the appropriate temperatures with AMD processors.

    As an example with the processor above this fan yielded the following:
    100% Loading, CPU Temp 64 Celsius, Core Margin 14 Celsius, Fan RPM 2050 (Max 2300) - Note the case is a factor and there was only a 200mm case fan. Ambient ~20 Celsius.

    Overall I would say this is a very good fan, but not for Over-Clocking (which would cause the CPU to generate far more heat than 95Watts).

    Note: The CPU Temp. (Idle) can vary quite a bit between processor types, for example A10s/A8s tend to be close to ambient, however this processor was around 35-40 when idle. Hence why you should use the AMD software to determine if the fan is fitted correctly - Core Margin should match the Processor Rating. FWIW, with a R7 260X discrete graphics card, Skyrim runs on Ultra Settings and the fan barely has to speed up.

    Me satisface por completo el producto. Es muy fácil de instalar, utiliza el soporte original, solo hay que limpiar la pasta térmica vieja con un una toallita de papel, acoplar los 2 clips metálicos del soporte y tensarlos con sus respectivos tornillos. Tengo una torre miniATX, motherboard GIGABYTE con un procesador AMD A10 7850K y quedó a la medida, es mas alto y mas voluminoso que el ventilador original pero cabe justo en el gabinete y no invade el espacio de la memoria RAM. Es completamente silencioso, el que tenía ya hacía mucho ruido, principalmente con el streaming de video, a partir de 42 grados emepezaba a zumbar y cada vez con volumen mas alto a medida que aumentaba la temperatura. Con éste he llegado a los 52 grados y no hace ningún ruido, también mantiene mas bajos los niveles de temperatura entre 8 y 10 grados en mi caso.
    Excelente producto, excelente precio y excelente la entrega en CDMX.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Early Impression of The Arctic Alpine 64 Pro Rev. 2 CPU cooler (added revision on install)
    Reviewed in the United States on 7 November 2016
    This is the first impression of the Arctic cooler 64 pro Rev. 2 CPU cooler... Box not easy to open.. (good) It looks impressive to the eye... almost like it's already doing something not even installed or plugged in... ( even better) It looks so inviting to touch the thermal compound already on it (DON'T DO IT!!!) and then you read the minimal instructions on a cocktail napkin sized 5 1/2 by 6 1/2 in size paper...
    Dear Customer.. ( nice touch!) Thank you for choosing....( etc) The next line is what got me:
    This is a budget CPU cooler.... ( WHAT?????) Budget????? like not so great will do the job best on the market for a reasonable price CPU cooler??? Trust me people of earth reading this... That took me back. I will be installing it in a few weeks.. ( waiting on a CPU without anger issues) But if Arctic reads this... change that verbiage! Don't tell the excited customer he/she bought a less than really cool CPU cooler from you. They are excited to make it do things. Not read "You bought our Aveo not our Pontiac line". ( not saying any car maker is low end disclaimer) Try something like this Arctic Alpine 64 Pro Rev. 2 meets our strive for excellence at a reasonable price. Using Arctic products along with this CPU cooler should give you years of reliable performance.... not thanks for buying our BUDGET line CPU cooler. I'll edit this once I get it installed.

    Finally! Got it installed.... Sorry for the wait. The installation was not as easy as I had hoped, but not impossible. I will share what I know from today, and you can decide if it is helpful or not. I began with preparing the CPU cleaning it and seating it once cleaned into the AM2 socket. The Artic does come with pre-applied paste. That paste works fine so if you are not comfortable with applying artic silver paste or another brand... Do not touch the pre-applied paste! Don't! The oil from your hands will not turn out well to cool your CPU. Ok... so I had cleaned the original heatsink and fan unit after removing it from the build... cleaned the original CPU using 91 percent rubbing alcohol. I used damp ( not wet) q-tips, and followed up with clean coffee filters... ok... so then backed off the screws on the Arctic fan a few turn so it would flex... but not too far as to have then fall off. Tried to position the Artic fan and heatsink onto the CPU but found the cable from the power supply was wire tied in such a way as it would prevent the assembly from seating right. A quick removal and a clip of the wore tie, and ready for try two. ( the build is a Dell inspiron531) ok... tab closest to the power supply did not catch the tab on the base so a gentle backing off of the screw and a flat plastic stick held the "finger" in place while I turned the screw a little and felt some back pressure. I read where some have said it breaks easily... well, tighten it slowly going from one side to the other and turn maybe one to two turns so it is straight and seated flat Think of it like changing a tire. You don't tighten any of the lugs all the way down, but go from one to the other to ensure proper seating of the tire. This is the same way. I turned a slow one to two turns until it began to tighten up... turned slower and stopped when it began to fight me ( finger tight) and then only applied moderate 1/8 turn to set the pressure. All done... I left the mini tower on its side so when I powered up the computer the weight of the heatsink and paste would fill and spaces in the CPU with the heat and checked for proper operation. I checked in setup ( f2) and verified the CPU and saw the Arctic Alpine Pro Rev 2 CPU cooler working ( don't forget to attach the 4 wire connector to the motherboard!) and exited the setup.. Well, it works fine so far. I did have to uninstall the processor in device manager and reboot for it to install the proper drivers for the new CPU. I think that was sort of a last resort move, but it worked on this windows 10 upgrade. So there you have it. The Arctic cooler is great... whisper quiet so far.... and I can update this at some point to verify if all is well. Buy this unit... it works well! Make sure it fits your computer and CPU before you purchase it... read many reviews. It does the job, and it is worth the money. Less than one day installed, but I am impressed so far. Good luck on your build or upgrade.

    Da mein 5 Jahre alter CPU Kühler von Tag zu Tag lauter wurde und ich es nicht mehr aushielt entschied ich mich diesen CPU Kühler zu kaufen da er günstig war und gut aussah. Wollte keinen teuren Kühler da ich mir sowieso bald ein komplett neuen PC kaufe.

    Kühler kam an und sofort ausgepakt und erste überraschung erlebt. Der komplette Kühler ist relativ flach und komplett aus Alu. Die Lamellen von meinem alten Kühler sind so groß wie der neue Komplette CPU Kühler. Ich dachte schon was hab ich denn da für einen schrott gekauft und das er niemals die Kühlleistung bringen wird wie mein alter Kühler.

    Alten Kühler ausgebaut und Einabuanleitung vom neuen Kühler überflogen. Dachte na das wird ja leicht einzubauen. Lege Kühler an das Mainboard erste Seite leicht eingebaut und die 2. seite machte dann Probleme. Ich probierte mehrmals die 2. Seite aus hinzukreigen mit sanften drücken mit dehnen aber keine chance habe schon angst bekommen das er überhaupt nicht auf meinen Sockel passt aber auf der Verpackung stand drauf das er mit meinem Board kompatibel sei. Ok da dachte ich mir scheis drauf jetzt mach ichs mit Gewalt dann wirds klappen. Habe mein Ganzes Körpergewicht (52 kg) eingesetzt aber der Clip von der 2. Seite wollte einfach nicht einrasten. Habe es mehrmals versucht aber keine chance. Ich dachte ich mache mein Motherboard und den Kühler he da ich mein ganzes Körpergewicht mehrmals draufgelegt habe. Nochmals Die Bauanleitung hergeholt und schön langsam Punkt für Punkt durchgelesen. Da entdeckte ich ein Bildchen das man die Schrauben von den Clips lösen muss damit man den Kühler einbauen kann. Hab das getan und siehe da der Kühler war in weniger als 2 Min. eingebaut.
    Ich depp mach ne halbe Stunde rum und versuchs mit Gewalt und dabei musste man nur die Schrauben von den Clips lösen und danach wieder anziehen damit er fest sitzt.

    PC wieder angeschlossen und gestartet. Lüfter kaum hörbar sehr überrascht für den Preis. Voller Angst das der Chip jederzeit überhitzt zocke ich ne runde WOT um zu sehnen was passiert. Starte den PC neu und schau mir die Temperatur im BIOS an und siehe da 35°C bei meinem AMD Phenom 9850, bei meinem alten 30€ teuren und doppelt so dicken Vollkupferkern Kühler war die Temperatur bei 40°C. Bin super zufrieden mit diesem Kühler. Temperatur steigt nie über 50°C (nicht übertaktet) und im vergleich zu meinem alten Kühler als er neu war ist er doppelt so leise.

    Habe den CPU Kühler nun Seit 2 Monaten im betrieb und er ist immernoch so gut und leise wie am ersten Tag. Preis Leistung ist hier top, super Verarbeitung und verdammt robust (52 kg) lagen beim einbauversuch drauf.

    Ich empfehle jedem diesen Kühler weiter der seine CPU nicht übertaktet da er ausreichen Kühlleistung bietet, sehr günstig, sehr leise, verdammt robust ist und wenn man die Bauanleitung durchliest und nicht überfliegt sehr leicht einzubauen ist.
