ARCTIC unveils Intel-compatible fanless CPU cooler


ARCTIC's Intel-friendly version (socket 1155, 1156, 1150, and 1151) of the M1 Passive will be available tomorrow in Europe for only 13 euros.

The Alpine 11 Passive is significantly larger (95 x 95 x 69 mm) than its AMD predecessor, and twice as heavy (508 vs 246 g). ARCTIC is unsure about its cooling capacity - indicating both 35W and 47W - and we're not crazy about pre-applied thermal compound, but it's still an amazing news for builders on a budget.
