Arctic "VGA Silencer" Cooling has unveiled its latest CPU and GPU cooling products.
Keeping your Pentiums and Athlons cool, Arctic Cooling have the Alpine heatsink & fan (HSF). This HSF comes in two variants. The Alpine 7 will fit Intel CPUs, including the Pentium D up to model 840. Meanwhile, the Alpine 64 caters for Semprons and Athlons up to the X2 3200+.
The HSFs are designs to be quiet, effective coolers (as you'd expect, given Arctic Cooling's previous offerings.) They feature fluid dynamic bearings in the fan, vibration absorbtion and a special fan casing to improve airflow and reduce noise. The Alpine 64 is pictured below, the Alpine 7 looks very much the same.
For the latest GPUs, Arctic Cooling is introducing its Accelero coolers. These coolers have a heatpiped design, and like their CPU HSF brethren, are intended to be quieter and better at cooling then stock HSFs. The Accelero X1 supports GeForce 6800 and 7800 cards, while the X2 will fit X1800 and the yet to be released X1900.
Both Accelero and Alpine line-ups can be expected in February, with a GPU cooler costing you around £20 and a CPU cooler nearer £10, judging from the MSRP in US Dollars.
