Product Information
Full details
The Arctic Alpine 17 CO is a compact air cooler designed specifically for Intel Alder Lake processors (LGA 1700 socket). It offers reliable, continuous operation with an innovative Y-shaped heatsink design for improved cooling performance and a wide PWM speed range for quiet operation. While it provides a solid cooling solution for its intended use, it may not be sufficient for extreme overclocking or high-TDP processors requiring more aggressive cooling.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Arctic Alpine 17 CO compatible with other Intel sockets?
No, the Alpine 17 CO is exclusively designed for and compatible with the Intel LGA 1700 socket.
Does it come with thermal paste pre-applied?
Yes, the Alpine 17 CO comes with ARCTIC's MX-4 thermal paste pre-applied for convenient and direct installation.
What is the advantage of the dual ball bearing?
The dual ball bearing allows for 24/7 continuous operation, offers greater resistance to contamination and high temperatures, and significantly reduces the failure rate compared to traditional bearings, ensuring long-term reliability.
Can I use this cooler for overclocking?
The Alpine 17 CO is designed for standard operation and continuous use. While it offers improved cooling, it may not be sufficient for significant overclocking on higher TDP CPUs. For aggressive overclocking, a larger or more powerful cooler is recommended.
How do I clean the heatsink and fan?
It is best to use compressed air to blow dust away from the fan blades and heatsink fins. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
What is the noise level of the fan?
The noise level ranges depending on the fan speed, operating between 0.3 Sone at lower RPMs and up to a higher level at its maximum 2700 RPM. The PWM control helps keep it quiet during lighter loads.
What are the dimensions of the cooler?
The cooler has a width and depth of 95 mm and a height of 77 mm.
Troubleshooting
Cooler not mounting securely
Ensure you are aligning the push pins correctly with the motherboard holes and pressing down firmly until they click. Double-check that you are using the correct mounting mechanism for LGA 1700.
CPU temperature is too high
Verify that the fan is connected to the CPU_FAN header and is spinning. Check that the cooler is firmly seated on the CPU. Ensure no obstructive cables are preventing proper airflow. For demanding tasks, consider if the CPU's TDP exceeds the cooler's capacity.
Fan is making unusual noise
Check for any obstructions near the fan. If the noise persists, it might indicate a bearing issue, although the dual ball bearing is designed for durability. Ensure the fan cable is not vibrating against the heatsink or other components.
System does not boot after installation
Double-check that the CPU fan connector is properly seated on the CPU_FAN header. Ensure no components were dislodged during installation. Reseat the cooler and all power connections.
