Arctic Alpine 11 Pro

Zitat: Die Hersteller Angabe von 95 Watt Thermal Design Power hält der Kühler ein, wenn auch nur bei Maximaldrehzahl des Lüfters von 2200 u/min. In der Geräuschbewertung reicht das ferade noch für ein "befriedigend" (1,4 Sone).

Zitat: Final Thoughts – MX-3 Thermal Compound I’m a little torn when it comes to MX-3. I was a huge fan of the ease of use of the thinner MX-2. I’m as big a sucker for performance as the next guy, but I didn’t like that I have to figure out a means of applying

Zitat: Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Pro is focused on silence, not on performance, as written on the box, "Ultra quiet cooling solution for Intel CPUs", and also by its TDP of just 95 W. However, besides its poor performance compared to most coolers we reviewed recently, it was also not so good on noise level with our CPU under full load. Note, however, that our CPU has a TDP higher than the recommended for this cooler, plus it was overclocked. With low TDP CPUs it will probably keep a lower rotation speed and generate less noise. But the good point is that it performed a little bit better than Thermaltake ISGC-100, another cooler focused on silence that did not performed well in cooling or in noise level. Besides its better performance, there is a point where Alpine 11 Pro is far better than ISGC-100: price. In this parameter this cooler shows its main advantage, being at least three times cheaper than any cooler we compared it to. So, it can be an interesting solution to the user that has a low TDP processor and wants to replace the stock cooler without a great impact in its wallet.
