## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a 4 or 3 pin fan connector?**
A: It is a 4 pin fan. PWM fans are 4 pin.

**Q: How do you remove this once its installed?  Do the screws unscrew?**
A: Yes, you simply turn the four screws to unlock them and gently pull the fan off the CPU. (Remember, there was paste on the fan when you installed it)

**Q: Does the co fan work on a pc that doesn't run 24/7?**
A: Have the Alpine 12 CO in my gaming build and it works great. Acts like any other fan, turns off with the computer and on when in use.

**Q: Will the Alpine 12 passive work with an i5 10400 without overheating?**
A: Probably depends on what you are using the i5 10400 for. If only for web browsing, email, streaming then yes it will do the job. Anything more than that no guarantee. I am using it with a Pentium Gold G5400 which serves as more or less a PC for storage (not a server) but do occasional video streaming with no problems.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Performance at a Reasonable Price
*by H***Y on 28 October 2024*

I recently upgraded my PC and decided to try this cooler out. I was a bit nervous since I’ve had mixed experiences with cooling solutions before, but this one totally surprised me in a good way. First off, the installation was super straightforward. I know some coolers can be a pain, but this one just clicked into place with no hassles. I didn’t even need to look up how-to videos, which is always a plus.What really impressed me was how well it kept my CPU temps down, especially during gaming marathons. I play a lot of demanding titles and usually, my old cooler struggled, cranking up the fans and making a racket. This cooler? It’s quiet and efficient. Even when I pushed my system, I didn’t see the temps getting anywhere near the danger zone.The pre-applied thermal compound is a nice touch too, made things even smoother. Honestly, for the price, I don't think you can beat the cooling power it offers. If you’re on a budget but still want solid performance and easy setup, this cooler's definitely worth it. I'm really happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by R***B on 16 March 2019*

I recently upgraded my computer and the i7 CPU came with Intel's stock fan, which I didn't mind having used them previously, but this time round I was not happy with the fan at all. The noise level was crazy high from what I had been used to and the fan just seem to intermittently make an awful whirring sound too, even when running on silent, so I decided to upgrade the fan to the Arctic 12 LP and it's the best decision I could have made.The fan was very easy to install, took me about 5 minutes in total to do and comes with pre-applied thermal paste as well, making it even easier and as soon as I switched my PC back on I could instantly notice the difference. The Arctic fan is so much quieter than the Intel one and already having 2 other Arctic fans installed as my case fans, it's just looks good now with everything matching.I let the fans run for a while and then checked the temperatures in the Bios and the CPU is running at least 6 degrees lower than with the Intel fan and it's still extremely quite, with the running speed set to normal instead of silent. I haven't tested it yet with any games, but I'm 100% more confident now with this fan installed than I would have been using the Intel one.The Arctic 12 LP is an amazing purchase and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Fan, but Arctic products used to be better quality.
*by K***K on 4 February 2024*

Used it on socket 1155 motherboard, with i5 3570k with no overclocking. it is better than Intel stock, but CPU runs hot in more demanding games despite several case fans and efficient air flow.Also the cooler looks cheap. the fan housing, etc. too.I have an Arctic 11 from 2014 paired with socket 775 CPU Core 2 Duo E8600, it keeps that CPU cool at full load and it looks better. Other things, like Arctic logo used to be blue, now it is black and wires are black not colour coded anymore. I don't know who thought all black was cool, especially with all the computer components for some years now, down to every wire, that cant be distinguished, or seen in the dark housing of a black PC. Hang on, I forgot, I don't have the tacky RGB LED lights installed to light it all up, I forgot, urgh,
