Nice warranty and price and if you just use it as a replacement should cool alot better!

MKmods · Apr 29, 2009, 04:58 PM

I had one of the original Alpine coolers and it was the only thing that I have tried from Arctic cooling that was terrible.

I hope this one is better

KieranD · Apr 29, 2009, 05:11 PM

this better be good

the places i can see it being usefull are stock rigs that want better than stock cooling
htpc and backup rigs

everything else i cant see it being any use

Yeah i had the original 'slab-o-aluminum' alpine 64 cooler too... the fan was its only saving grace, but it was a pretty awful cooler.

MKmods · Apr 29, 2009, 05:41 PM

I had mine in my Qpack, I replaced it with a simple Thermaltake copper cooler and the temps went down 10C with the TT cooler.

LittleLizard · Apr 29, 2009, 07:16 PM

a perfect solution for a dirty cheap aftermarket cooler. i mean, 10 dollars, CMON, even i can afford that, sadly is only for amd

BrooksyX · Apr 29, 2009, 08:38 PM

should be a good for a low profile mini itx rig or something. But i wouldn't touch this for normal use.

mdm-adph · Apr 29, 2009, 08:50 PM

Great if you get an OEM and want to enjoy the stock cooling experience?

Me? I'd spend another $10 and get the Arctic 64 Pro. That thing's amazing. Huge, but amazing.

KieranD · Apr 29, 2009, 11:50 PM

low profile for smaller rigs but yeah the ac freezer 64 is 10x better

iandh · Apr 30, 2009, 01:15 AM

I've used alpine 64's for customer builds (primarily desktop rigs and htpc's), they are cheap and get the job done. Not meant for OC'ing... that's for sure.

DrPepper · Apr 30, 2009, 02:15 AM

Looks familiar. Aren't there coolers like that alread out ?

They have another one called Alpine 7 Pro launched for Intel. But I love Freezer series more if I buy a new cooler~

Mussels · Apr 30, 2009, 05:15 AM

it should perform close to the stock cooler, but a hell of a lot quieter.

tkpenalty · Apr 30, 2009, 08:26 AM

This looks like something that OEMs would use. Its just a slab of aluminium with a better fan.

Esse · Apr 30, 2009, 12:39 PM

Well it wont be fitting in my SG02 as it is 8.4cm high! (max 7.8cm)
