The Alpine 11 PLUS is an inexpensive CPU cooler from Arctic. It has an aluminum heatsink and a 92 mm fan. Let’s test it!

Arctic offers two coolers that are actually almost the same product: the Alpine 11 PLUS (that we are reviewing here) and the Alpine 64 PLUS, which is a similar cooler, but aimed at AMD CPUs.

The Alpine 11 PLUS comes in a small white cardboard box, as shown in Figure 1.
