Excellent Cooling Performance The unique heatsink design consisting of 102 fins and 4 double-sided heatpipes offers excellent cooling performance and improve heat transfer from the CPU. The Freezer Xtreme outperformed the stock cooler in reducing the CPU temperature by 18 degrees.	Low Noise Complimented by Hardware Secrets for being very quiet, the Freezer Xtreme features a central-mounted 120 mm fan with low noise impeller and patented fan holder to achieve quiet operation. Thanks to the PWM control, the fan speed adjusts according to the CPU temperature and thus the noise level remains at an absolute minimum which qualifies it as a silent cooler.	Multi-compatibility The Freezer Xtreme features a wide compatibility with AMD and Intel sockets. This gives you plenty of flexibility and takes overclocking to a new level. The Freezer Xtreme is compatible with AMD Sockets AM4, AM3, AM2, FM2, FM1, 939, 754; Intel Sockets 2066, 2011(-3), 1366, 1156, 1155, 1151, 1150, 1200, 775.	Easy Installation Installing the Freezer Xtreme is a breeze. The push-pin mounting system provides excellent stability and it merely takes a few minutes to mount the cooler to the motherboard. The fiber reinforced retention module is sturdy and solid to support the cooler's weight during the installation process. Thanks to the pre-applied MX-2 thermal compound, a quick and clean installation is assured!

Simply incredible value - performs better than solutions costing 5x as much

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this after a Corsair H55 was unable to keep a highly overclocked i7 from thermal throttling. One morning when I woke up to hear what sounded like the fluid inside the Corsair device bubbling/boiling I decided to return to air cooling.

Eyeing up the £80 air cooling options, I saw the positive reviews for this and thought 'why not' and I'm glad I did. The six copper contacts provide excellent head transfer, the interior fan does an excellent job of cooling, and if you desire you can also (with some slight modifying, it's not an official kit or anything) attach to extra SP fans in a push-pull configuration for a triple fan cool fest.

The downside to this is - it's quite noisy. Granted the setup I was using it on was always taxing it to the max, and it never let me down once (H55 would idle @ 85c, with this 45c, whilst under load temperatures rarely exceeded 65c) - but I have to confess I eventually replaced it with a dual radiator water cooling option. The temperatures are marginally better, and it's quieter but it cost £200 all in, I could have bought 10 of these of that.

This represents tremendous value. Trust me, you do not have a processor that NEEDS better cooling than this. It's relatively small and compact compared to the more expensive offerings, and will keep ANYTHING at a sensible operational temperature. Downside - it's kinda noisy.

EDIT: Having spent more time overclocking, and owning higher performance CPUs than the 3770k I had when I wrote the original review, I now retract my comment that you do not need a better cooler than this. Whilst I still maintain this is a fine cooler for most applications, and is tremendous value for money, it will not perform anything like as well as a Corsair Hydro or a large Noctua air-cooler for example. I still stand by the 5-stars, because for the money it's excellent and most people will never need more, but it would be untrue to say that there aren't plenty of people out there who would need a better performing cooler than this.

Easy to install and drop the cpu temps with ease

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2013

Verified Purchase

This may not be the most expensive (or cheapest) solution to a non-stock cpu cooler and there are undoubtedly better coolers for those wanting maximum temp reductions for their kit but this cooler has a number of important attributes that made it ideal for me:

- Its fully installable from the front of the motherboard using a very simple bracket. Usually coolers this size or bigger need you to access the back of the MOBO to install a rear bracket to hold the weight of the cooler which is not ideal for me as I didn't want to have to take my MOBO out. So this one worked well for me and the bracket supplied holds the cooler fine once the PC is back upright

- Its not so big as to obscure any RAM slots or other cards slots. Others can do this and I use all my slots thank you!

- the fan is removable for a good clean and I assume replacement (but the design is rather specific so not just a case of replacing necessarily with the right sized fan)

The cooler went into my machine in a few minutes. The bracket was easy to locate and fix but aligning the cooler onto that was a little bit harder just simply because its quite hard to see when it is properly aligned and sitting on the cpu and you have to almost assume good contact. Still went in easy and first start was quick and quiet with no errors and a very much cooler cpu. With my i7-3770k OC and playing BF3 on ultra temps have stayed below 50 deg C (compared to 90 deg C when I tried this briefly with the stock cooler!) and it runs normally at about 30 deg C.

One thing to note is it is a low rpm fan so if your BIOS has warnings on low rpm on things like the cpu (like mine does) you will need to reset the warning level to a lower rpm than the stock one as otherwise you may get BIOS fan error.

So all in all a good product to achieve good temp improvements against a stock cooler but as I said at the start, there are probably better options but at a cost. Highly recommended.

Really good cooler

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2011

Verified Purchase

I have to say I expected more from this one. Primarily from it's size. It is huge and won't easily fit on most mobos or inside many cases. I got a fantastic ASUS Sabertooth mobo and thus is was not problems installing this thing, but it might stand over some ram slots in some other boards. Generally it comes with pre-applied thermal paste, it is applied very well, although could be thicker. It is not the best paste in the world but it works well. What I noticed about the way it works is that it can't easily cope with high stress. When CPU is at 100% it lets the temperature rise to 50 C (not above though) and I have Intel i7 2600 unlocked and OCd a little. So it is not AMD and thus not a very hot processor, however the cooler cools extremely fast. So fast it literally drop temperature from 50 to 35 in a blink of an eye, and I am not joking. What I primarily found to be disappointing is the size/performance ratio and the lack of extra fan. The latter is a major one. I took a fan off my old cooler and strapped it on this one just to see the difference (literally strapped, using rubber bands, cuz the fan didn't the necessary parts to attach it with) and I haven't removed it because the performance rose by 60-70%. Which is quite logical if you know some physics. This tower design needs 2 fans. Problem is in a cooler master HAF X with Sabertooth an extra fan is not a problem, but most mobos and cases would really struggle with fitting that thing in. So I would recommend buying this if you are sure that you have space. This thing is BIG.

Well, other that that it a very good cooler and it is almost silent. In fact it makes less noise that your hard drive, which is quite phenomenal if you ask me. Just be sure to install a second fan on it, and attach it properly to keep it silent.

The cooler has a good design and a tool-free installation as well, which made installing the thing really easy for me. If the second fan that you buy is LED it will also look really cool because it's design is quite badass and if you have a window in your case this cooler will do good for show-off, which, let's be honest, we, OC gamers, all like a lot.

Cliente de Amazon

Exactamente lo que buscaba, ultrasilencio. Mi ventilador stock hacía más de 40 db en high loads. Éste en vez de los Be Quiet!

Reviewed in Mexico on 6 August 2017

Verified Purchase

Compré éste porque mi Disipador Stock en altas cargas (procesador de 90W) era demasiado ruidoso de un tiempo para acá, hacía más de 42 db y dolían los oídos. Yo buscaba silencio, silencio, silencio, y tuve que elegir entre los Be Quiet!, la línea Hyper 212 Evo y éste. Cuando vi 35 db de ruido de los Hyper los descarté. Los Be Quiet! fueron mi primera opción pero al comparar me di cuenta que el Pure Rock Slim tenía TDP de 120 W y si más adelante quería cambiar procesador ese no iba a ayudar. El Pure Rock de 150 W se vería buena opción pero pasaba por encima de 2-3 slots de RAM y el Pure Rock Slim creo 1-2 también. El asunto es que si quieres remover la RAM por falla, limpieza o algo ahí vas de nuevo a quitar el Disipador, poner pasta térmica y a instalar de nuevo.

Vi el Artic Freezer y decía 1,500 RPM y un ventilador bastante amplio que al parecer no tocaba ni los slots de RAM (orientado a disipar el aire hacia la parte trasera del gabinete) con un TDP de 160W, los Procesadores que harían buen upgrade más adelante a mi Tarjeta Madre AM3+ y los TDP caían debajo de este rango y decidí comprarlo. La diferencia entre éste y el Pure Rock era menos de 150 pesos.

Los usuarios de Amazon EUA lo califican de 4 estrellas más que nada por la instalación. Y es correcto, aunque no es difícil, el instructivo es netamente Visual, no trae ni texto explicando qué hacer hay varias cosas que el fabricante debió recomendar aquí les van:

1) Remueve la Tarjeta de Video y las Memoria RAM que tengas, para poder mover bien las manos alrededor del Disipador.
2) El manual te indica visualmente que apenas hay que enroscar los brackets (brazos) laterales del Disipador a la base del Disipador y es muy cierto...literalmente le tienes que enroscar una o máximo 2 vueltas para que quede suficientemente suelto para encajar en la base del disipador (la que ya está atornillada a la tarjeta madre) en un lado y luego en el otro...si enroscas de más tendrías que desenroscar ya con el disipador puesto.. y si se te suelta el bracket (me pasó) tienes que quitar el disipador de nuevo y queda un poquito de pasta en el procesador. Así que al colocar no lo presiones muy fuerte hacia el procesador, inclínalo antes de ponerlo y engancha en una base y luego en la otra.
3) Ya enganchado atornilla una vuelta un lado y luego una vuelta el otro, así ve alternando para que comience a ajustar uniformemente y no se salga.
4) Por último pones el ventilador y separa el cable un poco del disipador por seguridad.
5) Reinstala lo demás.

Pruebas:
He estado abriendo juegos en high o ultra detail (inclusive varios a la vez) y normalmente no pasa ni de 1,100 RPM y silencio, siempre silencio.
La temperatura del procesador la noto mucho menor que antes.
El ventilador sí tiene un minúsculo clic al rotar el ventilador que si no te concentras en tratar de escucharlo no lo escuchas, es casi imperceptible salvo que estés en absoluto silencio. Y aun en silencio ambiental ese pequeño clic no es molesto y se pierde.

Tips:
Busca videos de los Disipadores que te gusten y revisa que cubra bien el TDP de tu procesador.
Si lo quieres instalar para que suelte aire hacia arriba sí vas a tener que poner la base que tiene para procesadores Intel. Y podría en esta forma quitarte 1-2 slots de RAM.
En el ventilador, la parte que tiene el logo es por donde entra el aire (porque se puede colocar en ambos sentidos).
Artic no maneja db para medir ruido sino "Sone", cualquier cosa menor a 2,000 RPM puede ser silencioso.

PS:
Mi caja llegó sin las burbujas que siempre pone Amazon para proteger los envíos, me imagino fue error de Aduana porque siempre traen protección.
La pintura del logo del Disipador tenía un pedacito caído..pero me di cuenta que era porque se pegó a la caja.

Amazon once again helps us to fulfill all of our shopping needs. This Christmas we are surprising our daughter with all the component that she need to build herself a computer that will definitely make her classmates jelly. Computer assembly isn't difficult for noobs, but to the uninformed saying that your built your own is definitely impressive. With each system you need to make sure that you purchase certain components. This is what we got her:

1. Case: Thermaltake Versa N21 Translucent Panel ATX Mid Tower Window Gaming Computer Case Cases CA-1D9-00M1WN-00 - This case is a simple sleek design that will help protect the vital components from her younger sister's tiny fingers.
2. Power supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular, 10 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR - This power supply was one of the highest rates, quality built, cost effective supplies available.
3. Motherboard: Gigabyte LGA 1151 Z170 2-Way SLI UEFI DualBIOS ATX DDR4 ATX DDR4 NA Motherboards GA-Z170XP-SLI - We chose this Motherboard because it will allow us to add up to three m.2 SSD hard drives at a later date, perhaps her birthday.
4. Processor: Intel Core i5 6600K 3.50 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache (BX80662I56600K) - Every computer needs a good processor. Intel currently leads in performance (Sorry AMD)
5. Heat Sink: ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Twin-Tower Heatsink, 120mm PWM Fan - Heatsinks are important to help transfer heat away from the processor and help to avoid it from overheating. Water cooling is very effective but introduce additional points of failure. We chose this because she isn't heavy into gaming but it will allow her to explore.
6. Ram: Corsair memory kit 16.0 DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) (QTY:2) - 32gb of ram is a bit overkill but provides additional room for growth.
7. Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6183-KR - This video card it is a bit of overkill for her, a EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 3GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Cards 03G-P4-6160-KR is more affordable and in line with her fascination for World of Warcraft.
8. Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM010) - Seagate makes a quality product, I have used them for years. I have a network drive with one of their hard drives that has been running since 2009. 1TB is sufficient for her needs.
9. Optical Drive: LG Electronics 14x SATA Blu-ray Internal Rewriter without Software, Black (WH14NS40) - This is only needed if she has a need for playing/recording DVD or Blu-ray discs. To watch Blu-ray movies will require purchasing additional software.
10. Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit - I prefer to use to the professional versions of windows as it allows me greater control of the operating system and aides in the monitoring and protection of the system from the youngins'
11. Antivirus: Norton Security Premium - 10 Devices [Key Card ] - I use Nortons to help protect all of my computers for one low cost. There is only one computer in our household with a different AV and i've had to clean a couple viruses off of it.

This is a great cooler, assuming that you can get it for a reasonable price. Many features like twin towers and complete copper plate for CPU contact make it work well. Doesn't look the best, though you might prefer a design in which you cant see the fan.

Con stress (gaming 3d, anche se non con programmi ultra recenti affamati di cpu e gpu) non arrivo ai 50° con temperatura ambiente di ca. 23-28 (non l'ho misurata). con profilo prestazioni massime senza parking e frequency slowdown.
Silenziosissimo. Non si sente proprio. Gira sempre a bassi regimi e, data la generosità delle dimensioni della ventola e del dissipatore, mettendo le mani ai lati del dissipatore non si riesce neanche a distinguere da dove entra e da dove esce l'aria (!).
Montaggio facile sulla piattaforma AM3+ del FX-8350 (mobo gigabyte 990fxa-ud3). Giusto 2 clip da inserire negli agganci e poi stringere con le due viti. Se ci può essere un problema è nelle dimensioni e quindi io ho dovuto smontare scheda video e alimentatore per posizionare le clip agevolmente. Istruzioni chiarissime. Facile essendo così semplice il montaggio (grazie anche ad AMD).
Il prezzo è vantaggiosissimo. Sinceramente non vedo proprio alcuna necessità di spendere di più. reffreddamento ad acqua?? per cosa? per overclocking ultramegaspinto? Sono convinto che anche in overclocking sia quasi impossibile andare oltre i 60, magari con temperature ambiente alte. forse.
Super consigliato. Un best buy!!
(allego schema montaggio per amd)

Silent und kühlstark

Reviewed in Germany on 17 April 2013

Verified Purchase

Habe den Kühler in folgendes System eingebaut, welches vorher schon mit einem Alpenföhn Civetta betrieben wurde:
- OCZ SSD Vertex 4
- Seasonic Fanless Netzteil
- passive Grafikkarte Saphire Radeon 7750
- Fractal Design Gehäuse in der PCGH Edition.
- Arctic CPU Kühler

Die Kerne liegen im Idle um die 25°, bei Last geht es nur bis 35° hoch (www und Office; kein Test mit Prime) bei ca. 900 U/Min. Die Temperaturwerte haben sich im Gegensatz zum Civetta noch einmal deutlich verbessert.

Einbau:
mein erster Lüfter Einbau. 20Min. und die Sache war erledigt, bei einem Sockel 775 von Intel. Wirklich sehr einfach. Die vorbereitete Kühlpaste hat mir das Testen mit der richtigen Menge erspart.
ABER: wenn ich das richtig sehe, kann der Lüfter mit dem Luftstrom nach hinten (für mich waagerecht) und auch mit dem Luftstrom nach oben (für mich senkrecht) eingebaut werden. Hatte den Lüfter erst falsch herum (Luftstrom nach unten; sollte die Graka noch kühlen), dann macht der Lüfter einiges an Lärm, wahrscheinlich weil er aus dem Lager gleitet. Dreht man den Lüfter um oder stellt ihn auf, ist es sofort weg). Nun blässt der Lüft nach oben, von der Idee saugt er ja jetzt (warme) Luft von der darunter liegenden Graka weg. Die warme Luft wird dann durch den rückwärtigen Gehäuselüfter nach hinten raus geblasen.
Also beim Einbau auf die Richtung achten und bei Lärm des Lüfters evtl. mal drehen!

Passiver Betrieb:
ich denke, dass dies, bei nicht allzu anspruchsvoller Auslastung des PCs wie Games durchaus möglich ist. Hatte das auch eine Stunde probiert und die Temperaturen waren völlig in Ordnung. Allerdings auch hier kein Test mit Prime, lediglich mein subjektiver Eindruck.

Größe und Gewicht:
logischerweise sollte man ausgemessen haben, ob er passt. Er könnte auch mit dem Ram kollidieren. Trotz seines Gewichts und ohne Befestigung mit Backplate sitzt der Lüfter bombenfest. Man hat nicht das Gefühl, dass der Lüfter aufgrund des Gewichts das Board von der Gehäusewand reißt.

Lautstärke:
für mich das wichtigste Kriterium, weil es ein Silent PC werden sollte. Die oben genannten Temperaturen liegen bei ca. 900U/min vor. Dabei ist der Lüfter einfach nicht hörbar. Selbst mit 1000U, ist es schwierig ein Geräusch auszumachen. Bei maximaler Last hört man den Lüfter natürlich (wird praktisch nie genutzt, weil die Kühlleistung immer ausreichend ist), aber das ist sehr viel angenehmer als die meisten Graka-Lüfter.
Durch Speedfan oder ähnliche Programme lässt sich der Lüfter ganz einfach regeln. Mit entsprechenden Boards wahrscheinlich auch sehr gut über BIOS in den Temperatureinstellungen.

Folglich hat der Lüfter für mich ein optimales Verhältnis aus Kühlleistung und (nicht-vorhandener) Lautstärke.

Qualität/Haltbarkeit:
Es waren keine Lamellen verbogen und Teile (wie das X) haben sich bisher nicht gelöst. Macht insgesamt einen, für mich als relativen Laien, wertigen Eindruck.

Für einen Silent PC mit den entsprechenden Komponenten ein toller Lüfter mit ebenfalls einem guten Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Würde ihn jederzeit wieder empfehlen und gegen den Civetta austauschen (dieser hat ebenfalls gut gekühlt, musste aber aufgrund der geringeren Größer auf etwas mehr Umdrehungen laufen, daher etwas mehr Lautstärke. Dafür ist dieser auch günstiger!)
