The Alpine 17 is exclusively compatible with Socket LGA1700 and Intel's Alder Lake CPUs. The Alpine 17 has a very wide PWM-controlled speed range. This reduces noise to a minimum while achieving the highest cooling performance. With the MX-4 already pre-assembled, the Alpine 17 can be mounted directly. Thanks to the push pins, installation is child's play. Additional tools are not required for mounting the cooler.
