Review: Perfekter und leiser Lüfter - Funktioniert und macht seinen Job! Empfehlenswert.
Review: Very Handy. Cheap - 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.

## Features

- IMPROVED COOLING PERFORMANCE THANKS TO THE NEW PRODUCTION PROCESS: The new production process makes it possible to manufacture a powerful and at the same time very compact radial heat sink
- LOWER ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION & LOW VIBRATION: The new Alpine 23 CO is powered by a redesigned motor that makes it much quieter and particularly economical
- PRE-APPLIED THERMAL PASTE: Comes with efficient and durable ARCTIC MX-2 thermal paste pre-applied. This means the Alpine 23 CO can be installed and operated directly out of the box
- DUAL BALL BEARING: Thanks to its dual ball bearing, the ARCTIC Alpine 23 CO is optimised for continuous operation
- SIMPLE AND SECURE ASSEMBLY: Thanks to its new new mounting clips, installation is child's play. Simply plug the Alpine 23 CO is simply into the existing AMD retention modules and screw tightly
