Arctic Alpine 23 CO Compact Heatsink & Fan for Continuous Operation, AMD AM5/AM4, Dual Ball Bearing, 100W TDP

At the end of 2022, AMD released the AM5 socket, the successor to its popular AM4 platform. Because all mechanical dimensions remain identical, we can guarantee the compatibility of ARCTIC coolers with AMD's new processors.

 

 

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.

 

 

The Alpine 23 CO features a new motor technology with a very wide, PWM-controlled rpm range. This keeps the noise level at a minimum while guaranteeing maximum cooling performance when needed.

Lower Power Consumption & Minimum Vibration

The new Alpine 23 CO 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 the commutation of a regular DC motor. These factors contribute to saving energy, lowering the coil temperature, and reducing vibrations to a minimum without compromising performance.

 

 

The premium quality dual ball bearing allows 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.

 

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.

 

 

The pre-applied, high-performance MX-2 thermal compound ensures fast and clean installation.

 

 

Thanks to the mounting clips, the installation is really easy. Alpine 23 CO is simply plugged into the existing AMD retention modules and screwed tight.
