ARCTIC Introduces New Alpine 17 Coolers
ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, introduces today the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO, a pair of compact air coolers designed exclusively for the Intel LGA1700 socket. With the release of its newest Alpine coolers, ARCTIC presents an affordable option for users looking to cool their Alder Lake processors. The successors to the Alpine 12 series retain its classic radial heatsink design but are specifically built for the LGA1700 socket.
The cooler's Y-shaped fin ensures optimal heat distribution in the heatsink, while heat dissipation is significantly enhanced by the Alpine 17's large surface area and high airflow rate. With a low installation height of only 68.2 mm, the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO are ideal choices for most all-in-one systems as well as small cases (Mini-ITX, µATX etc.).
No mounting kits are necessary to install the Alpine 17 and Alpine 17 CO. Indeed, no tools of any kind are needed: the coolers come with pre-applied MX-4 thermal paste and pre-mounted push pins, making installation an effortless process -even for beginners. Its 92 mm fan can be controlled via PWM. With its wide speed range, the fan guarantees flexibility of use and balanced, efficient cooling performance.
For Continuous Operation: Alpine 17 CO
The CO variant packs an even stronger punch: the Alpine 17 CO's higher RPM brings with it a higher cooling performance. Specifically designed for continuous operation, the Alpine 17 CO's high-precision dual ball bearing allows the cooler to last up to five times longer than coolers with standard bearings.
Pricing and Availability
Each new Alpine cooler comes with a 6-year warranty. The coolers are available from today in the webshop, on Amazon.co.uk and in stores. The Alpine 17 has an MSRP of 13,99€; the Alpine 17 CO, 14,99€.

Maybe junky is the wrong term..
Be nice if arctic catered to first party gpus and then made a slew of AIB coolers.
Alphacool makes tons of diff WBs...
Cheap, Quality, Performance.
only their older products are decent. still have the old freezer 13 on a 2600K build that is basically inaudible and runs since many years without any problems.
Arctics new stuff is so cheap and bad that i just skip arctic completely when i want to buy something.
That does not mean they have not gone the cheap end, especially now. But at the moment of my posting I am running 2 140mm fans @ 1175 rpm with no issues.
Now as far as the fan design being shown? Very disappointed. I have the original intel 775 socket CPU cooler with the full copper base in the center. I also have the 1/2 copper and 1/2 aluminum Center as well and finally when Intel went full aluminum. 12 years ago and gee nothing has changed except cheapness from the companies.
I have the CPC ARCTIC AMD AM4 ALPINE 23 CO and ARCTIC COOLING F8 PWM PST CO FAN 80MM and another low profile am4 cpu cooler which model i don't remember. I agree that the aluminum coolers and their plastic parts aren't something exceptional, but if gaming is not your main goal but websurfing, office work and other light to medium tasks, then their fans are extremely quiet and reliable comparing them to stock coolers (and not only them).
