- Does it fit AM4?
- Yes. It mounts on AM4 as well as AM2+, AM3+, FM1 and FM2+ sockets. It does not fit Intel boards.
- Is it better than the AMD stock cooler?
- On 65 W-class chips it usually runs cooler and quieter at idle. On high-TDP or overclocked CPUs the stock Wraith models can match or beat it.
- Can I overclock with it?
- Only lightly. The single 92 mm fan and small fin stack leave little thermal headroom, so keep voltage and clocks near stock.
- How loud is it?
- At idle the PWM fan is close to inaudible. Under sustained load it spins up and becomes noticeable, especially in a quiet room.
- What is in the box?
- The cooler with its pre-mounted fan and AMD mounting hardware. Thermal paste is included on the base.
- Will it block my RAM?
- It is a low top-down cooler, so it usually clears standard-height RAM. Very tall heatspreaders on the inner slots may still be tight.
- Where is the Arctic Alpine AM4 CO cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $25.99, as of our latest check.
