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

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

 

[MilkyWay]

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.

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.

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]

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

 

[mdm-adph]

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.

 

[MilkyWay]

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

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.

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]

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

 

[tkpenalty]

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

 

[Esse]

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

Maybe to push stock OC further by .1-.2GHz.
