Introduction

Today we are going to test Alpine 64 Pro, a low-cost CPU cooler for AMD processors from Arctic Cooling. This cooler features a traditional design, with a 92-mm fan and no heatpipes. But how about its performance? Let’s check it out!

Alpine 64 Pro resembles a lot Alpine 11 Pro also from Arctic Cooling. The main difference is that Alpine 11 Pro is made for Intel CPUs, while Alpine 64 Pro fits only AMD products.

Alpine 64 box is simple and small, as you can see in Figure 1.

Inside the box we found the cooler and the installation manual. There is no thermal compound pack because it comes preapplied on the cooler base.

In the next pages we will see the cooler in details.
