ARCTIC Expands Alpine Cooler Series
It's getting frosty: With the addition of the new Alpine 23 CPU cooler, ARCTIC's diverse product range is expanding with new fan variants. Compact, solid, affordable - that's ARCTIC's Alpine series. The series expands with the Alpine 23, the further improved successor Alpine AM4. This new AMD cooler boasts a revised assembly system and long life span.
The Alpine 23 can simply be plugged into the existing AMD retention modules and screwed tightly; robust metal clips guarantee stability and safety. High-performance MX-2 thermal compound is pre-applied, making it easy to get started right out of the box. Thanks to radial heat sinks and a broad, PWM-controlled speed range, the compact CPU cooler offers sufficient performance as well as low noise levels at a very low price.Features
The compact AMD CPU-cooler is also available in a CO variant for continuous operation. The Alpine 23 CO is equipped with premium quality Japanese dual ball bearings which allows for continuous operation 24/7 without the slightest compromise in performance. Dust and high temperature are affecting this bearing a lot less than generic sleeve or one ball bearings and thus make it the perfect choice when reliability is essential.
Pricing & Availability
Both the Alpine 23 and Alpine 23 CO are now available with an MSRP of 13.99 USD and 14.99 USD respectively.

Genuine question: who are these coolers for, and are they the best choice in any scenario? I really like Arctic, I just can't help but assume they're losing money on these through materials and R&D...
Arctic is likely just diverting a few extra into retail boxes to maintain some shelf presence.
