This "review" speaks volumes when you wouldn't let a reviewer explicitly compare it other coolers on the market. A Thermalright PS120 beats this and if the buyer needs a better looking one the PS120 EVO should also beat this in all aspects.
@@AlphaMachina Assuming Amazon US prices, for an additional $10-20, a builder gets so much more performance out of their build. Also, in my local online marketplace, this is the same price as a PA120/PS120.
glad that you like the cooler, thanks for the glowing review. For your critique about the RAM compatibility, with a standard 25mm thick fan, there is no limitation, only if you use thicker fans like the T30s, then you'll hit some limitation.
I just bought this cooler and it's everything you say it is. I bought the black fans and silver cooler for $25.40 on Amazon US. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
i9-13900F. T30 installed and running at 3200(!) rpm inside Fractal Design Torrent. Ten seconds at 300W. Single run of Cinebench r23 scored 37,000 points. The longer the Furmark CPU burner ran, the lower the power. It stabilized at 230W. Not bad, but not shocking. 40% fan speed stablized at 210W, so I think T30 is an overkill.
Bought one for ryzen 5600x installed yesterday with the mx-6 paste it came with. Didnt change bios settings, 55C max on Cinebench r23 10min 100% usage and 55C max after 1 hour of elden ring. Definetly recommend
Insane value. Will be a very nice upgrade for $20. A bit of an odd review though. No testing with the included fans? I think most people that will buy it will just use it with the included fans. Also, you've previously tested 14 different coolers with the 13900K, it would have been nice to see a direct comparison to Peerless Assassin 120 and AK620 in the same conditions.
Gamers Nexus just did. This cooler gets close to the Peerless in a few tests and is not terrible, but apparently this is only supposed to be $27 for the first 3 months, then it will bounce to $60
@@GoonyMclinuxEven if it matches it, that's already great, because this one is cheaper and available in EU. Saw the Gamers Nexus review and it beat the peerless assassin 120 slightly, thanks to the contact frame.
Much love to you and your wonderful family from Greece!In my opinion you are the best pc tech content creator ever and I've seen many in the 30 years of my experience.Kudos to you and well done!!!Keep up the magnificent work!
@@datalor3698 very good. Cinebench r23 temps were 55C° 10 minutes under full load, Elden ring temps stay under 58C° i dont play much cpu intensive games, but i saw on the cooler reviews that someone uses this cooler with 7800X3D and it works fine so it should be good for 5600x 😁
I just love this cooler. I just bought two of those because I loved the 30 bucks price. Its just insane how well it runs. But the first thing I did was to replace the stock fans with the arctic max fans. Results are just off the charts.
Your cinebench tests were so short the cooler didn't get fully saturated. 300w at 90 degrees would be 100 degrees in a ~10 minutes. Plus if you look at the 360W testing, you can see the power going down from 360 to 310 at 100 degrees in a matter of seconds just to prevent from shutting down. You have to test it inside a case to make this testing relevant for real life scenario.
@@nikolaosmitsou85 GN tested this cooler in a proper way so their results are correct. TN "tested" this in 10 seconds long Cinebench runs so.. all those 300w, 320w or even 360w results are incorrect and useless. The CPU would survive 250w but when you bump it up to 300w, it would throttle in a while.
Agreed. Running Cinebench single run and promoting it can cool 300W+ is, just hmm. I put this cooler with T30 fans on i9-13900K, and ran Cinebench R23 10 mins (I feel this is minimum run to call it as "a cooler can cool x watt"). This does surprisingly well for the price (it really does), but it barely hit thermal throttle with even Intel default PL 253W.
This fan works great. without any RGB, or Bulky Ram, it fits perfectly with 4 full RAM slots. The heat of the Ryzen 5 7600x is kept at bay with this wonderful Air Cooler.
wow great review , i just instaled my artic lf 3 420 rgb in main rig on delided/relided 13900 ks and got the new ek nucleous direct die 360mm aio on my 2nd rigs 14900 k but this air cooler id u delided and then relided your cpu using the stock intel ihs i bet that would shave off another 8-16c from these results maybe 320 - 350 w with max fans ?
Okay, it seems like a good product for a room with AC and 25ºC. But if it were in my house, without AC and 30-40ºC ambient temperature I would have to exchange these Disney princess fans for 2 Delta server fans. Screw the noise, what matters in a fan is the CFM and static pressure providing good airflow, not silence.
With an open test bench you can’t stress anything is open, the issue comes when an inclosed environment, so don’t do stress test on a test bench it is very much redundant
That contact frame is such a noteworthy addition to Artic Freezer products vs Intel ILM. No question it works as intended and i am wondering if the metal also adds indirect heat dissipation through spreading through its denser surface area.? maybe that is why the air cooler has a better cooling effect? Food for thought! aah question hypothesized at 10 minute mark i agree!
@@samstrand90 really!? I didn’t see it. Where is it? In some of the Cinebench screens? I must have missed because I watched the video in low quality. Thanks!
Will this air cooler be good enough to cool an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D? Maybe just normal daily gaming, browsing the internet etc. Not for production work.
I know that this looks good, but how is this better than the Peerless Assassin? Because of the cost? Looks to me even in price:value the Peerless still beats this by quite a bit.
How does this cooler rank in your recent testing of 22 air coolers? I am planning a i7 14700K build for Photoshop and Lightroom. Would you use this cooler in a similar build?
Honestly I think it would be slightly underpowered for a 14700k. Of course it would work and nothing would break as thermal throttling doesn't destroy things.
This is a great review, thank you, but the lack of memory support is a deal breaker for me. I'm also curious how this does head to head with something like the noctua nh-d15 (which does have good memory support by allowing you to move the fans upward at the cost of a little bit of thermal efficiency/performance).
Let's be honest, Thermalright has been lighting a fire underneath all the butts of cooler companies. Arctic coming in with an amazing contender to the PA120.
GPU manufacturers: "Who cares about being price competitive. Lets just push things to +1000 USD and see what sticks" Air cooler manufacturers: "What if we made the best air cooler and sold it for 30 bucks? Lmao that'd be hilarious right" - then unironically goes out and does it
It would have been nice if Arctic allowed AMD users to mount the Coller with the fans facing upwards. So that cases with top ventilation can use it for exhaust. I believe that would help the GPU heat dissipation as well since heat moves upward. So far, I have this AIr Cooler and my CPU didn't even touch the 70C Mark during Benchmarking and when I overclocked my AMD with AMD Ryzen Master it kept the CPU cool with stable Temp, readings of not greater than 70C
Okay so it looks like you didn't understand clearly. If you want to use Freezer 36 on Lga1700, you have to use their contact frame because there are holes in the contact frame where you mount the cooler. You simply cannot put TG or TR contact frame on cpu and then "mount" the Freezer 36. Freezer 36 has its own contact frame that can be used only on Freezer 36...
You need to test more air coolers. Thermalright's higher end easily beats this and the D15 for just $15 more. This is still an excellent price/performance cooler
This is too good to be true! You're running that on the CPU you're not allowed to not thermal throttle and it's not throttling? I wouldn't even go past a 13700k myself with this thing. I want In!
The included mounting plate is a nice touch for sure, but I could not find any on Amazon or NewEgg that had the contact frame, yet were still 80+ Canadian dollars. If it competes with the Thermalright PA then it must be decent. I don’t know.
Any idea how this will hold up with just 1 fan ? I bought a R7 4750GE (35w TDP) and thinking of using this cooler just in pull config with 1 fan. Any feedback on this use case ?
@@theTechNotice Thanks, I mean its a File-Server with some Docker containers and the 4 Case fans should help as well. Its just 8 bucks more than a wraith stock fan so I will go for it.
20-23 ish euros + shipping, i don't know why ANY even on a low budget would use a stock ryzen or amd cooler, Freezer 36 better temps and lower noise than any stock cooler with a high margin
Love my Grizzly contact frame setup with the Noctua NH-U12A on the together with the intel i913900KS :) video editing works like a breeze. will wait for the new Noctua 15 cooler
Im a full time professional video editor and I have to have a quite setup. Has for a long time used mac just because of that problem with powerfull PC´s. Then i went all noctua with my new PC build... never going back :P @@fernandolaiza3652
Thx for the nice review but the people over at Nexus come to a different conclusion. Of course they have a whole team and the means to cover more in depth testing. Basicly: it is a decent cooler for intel platform (up to 250W) thanks to the included support bracket, but it performs mediocre on Amd platform (at 200W). Also, the "normal" price is supposed to be 55 to 60$ US, which would make it much less interesting. I do like the "clip-on" fan system. Refreshing to finally see some innovation.
On that open bech of yours, if both fans are in push, does this heatsink work with that? Those single tower ones that does, dramatically improve in performance. Some effectively performs as a dual tower, some even outperform their dual tower siblings, like the 92mm Noctua range of coolers. Your're literally not going with the flow, and this one, seems like a great one for just this style of flow. I just cannot tell, given that no one actually show or review the heatsink itself. Just a warning: If you get the physics of this, and learn how to apply it, there is no going back. Also, no one will believe you, and you will fight an uphill battle as you do not go with the flow. But the performance is awesome, and it is for free. Just saying.
Do you mean both fans basically pushing air at each other through the tower? What physics is there to get, and what's the criteria for a tower to "work with that"?
@@bishnooktawak Simple. You do not stack heat. The warmest place inside the case, is at a heatsink exhahust. As for a single tower, a push-pull do not increase flow much, but a dual push will, for simplicty sake, double the flow. Also, the air will be cool, and heat up towards the center, again, simplified. The simple physics is, that you increase flow, and lower the temp of the air cooling. For a single tower to work with that, well, the air obviously need to be able to escape, without too much impedance. But given that you have double the flow, it can take quite a beating. If the side of a tower is too block out, the fins is shaped to work against such a flow, or if there simply is too much going on in the heatsink, read way too high a density of heatpipes, the cost of doing this, is not there. Airflow is impeded too much. And no. They push against each other, or they both pull, but the air enters through the fans, and exists on the side. I just reran some testing on the 92mm Noctua of mine. Flipping the fans like this, resulted in 3C reduction. As in about 3C cooler CPU, with the fans running the same RPM. In both cases, they were ducted. Also, for my ryzen 7700, I decided to run the slim 92mm fans, at 35% max, as I at that speed only lost 3W cooling capacity, as compared to running a single fan at 70%. Adding a second fan, I could reduce the cooling by 19% on the fan speed, and achieve a tad better cooling. That is not a great heatsink. I also run a D15 on a 7950x. I run it in that 145W eco mode, and the fans max out at about 800rpm for all cores at full throttle. That is using ducted 120mm fans. That is without shifting the cpu. As in why bother? I cannot even hear them fans, even if I try to. On that build, I need to drop the MB, as the MB is having a faint coil whine, that is way louder than the fans. It stays below 90C for all core. I don't use case fans by the way, as my designs do not need them. Long answer. But this is not a joke. It is real well known and proven physics. Just don't expect miracles from a poor heatsink with issues. Things like this only improves the temp of the air and a bit of flow, when it works. For the record a ryzen 7700 runs just fine at below 600rpm, full throttle, using my D15, again, without any shifting. It will then run at below 80C for all core. That is using the worst power virus I could find. I just ran a quick test of it. That is at 90W package power. This will be my last post in any comment section about this, before I start posting my own work. These are the numbers that will be in my videos. If you didn't get the memo. 0 case fans. Ducted CPU running at max 600. Ducted GPU running at max 800rpm. Semi passive PSU, that hardly ever spins up. I short, I cannot hear the thing. Been running this for two years now. Nobody seems to belive me, or rather, everyone seem to not be able to understand how it works. But it does. And it is bloody basic. So in short, I am about to release the most quiet cases there is, on the market. I have been sharing in public, over and over again, how this works, in comments like this. So when people finally gets the memo, "in the comments" sort of will get a new meaning. Particularly when it comes to dual tower coolers, because no one ever thought about this, even when informed about it, is just flat out embarrassing. Just for the record, I used to run a 3950x, at about 150W, as in stock, and I think the fans ran at about 800-900rpm back then, with no real throttling. Again, no case fan. Just to be clear, the fans are ducted. Just ordinary paste. So no. No one will pick up this comment either. Only when my first customers actually use the my work as intended, they will finally get the message I guess. If that is what it takes, it will be embarrassing for the entire industry. That is a lot of post over the years. Not to mention that this is basic physics, and applied all over the place for water cooling. Last post. Then the ship sails. Not doing it this way again. PS! Writing this sitting right next to my PC. I cannot hear the computer, as the snoring of my dog over powers it. Just the way I want it. Love that dog. Also, when he snores, I still cannot hear it. I my own breath is over powering the PC noise. Still sitting right next to it. It is that bad. This seriously works. People are just too slow. As I said. Last post.
30 dollar cooler with a contact frame is amazing value... No idea if it will be that price forever but even 5 bucks more than the Thermalright PA woukd be competitive especially if you want to use 4 tall ram sticks
Agree after having 2 high end 280mm NZXT Kraken's fail, Went back to air cooling and going to stay there. Top end dual air coolers are getting close to low and mid range AIO's anyway, Water looks good and that's about it, Noise wise I found the pump noise to be annoying and always ended up needing to set pump and fans to 50% which defeats the purpose of having water cooling.
No way P12 Max are more quiet than P12, my max fan produces resonance hum noise but also sometimes bearing whine, P12 also had this hum but supposedly Arctic fixed this with most recent revisions of both fans which this cooler uses.
It probably can but cpu would be running really warm and cooler will be loud. I would go for the PS120 or 240mm+ liquid cooler if you want it stay silent. Best bet is Freezer III 360 for 76 bucks from their official site.
Well, can't speak for the U12A. I bought the Arctic and installed it today. It's a good cooler, but my D15s with a single fan is definitely quieter at the same temperature. Sometimes the Freezer 36 produces noise because of interference of the RPM of the 2 Fans. For the price I'm very happy with the Freezer 36 though. The build quality and finish is very good. I have the white ARGB. version
@@samstrand90 So let me make this straight. His video shows 10 seconds long Cinebench runs so cooler isn't able to get fully saturated. I have bought ARGB version of this cooler and it can handle up to 250w. Anything more than that.. will thermal throttle. This video is as fake as it can be.
Arctic is here to disrupt the PC cooling industry lmao I've got an Arctic Freezer 34 Duo eSport on my 14700K that can keep it 2℃ cooler at idle than my Corsair H150i Elite LCD 360mm AIO!!! Imagine!?!? I've also got their Liquid Freezer 2 which outperforms every other cooler I've tried. If it wasn't for the LCD screen I would use the Freezer 34 Duo. I'm the guy who buys different components and tinkers around with their PC like car guys do to their engines lol
Amazing, thanks! I By the way, can anyone help me with a problem I've found upgrading my brother's PC. He bought a Mobo Gigabyte Gaming B760 X AX and some other components. Everything was going great but we hit a wall trying to install his old GPU Asus RTX 3050 8Gb in a BeQuiet Power base 600 case. The I/o bracket of the GPU is too long and the PCI connector doesn't sit well. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
@@theTechNoticeI live in a hot and humid environment. Obviously we run aircon, but still. I wonder if here there is a meaningful difference between an Arctic 360 and this aircooler for example?

It would have been nice if Arctic allowed AMD users to mount the Coller with the fans facing upwards. So that cases with top ventilation can use it for exhaust. I believe that would help the GPU heat dissipation as well since heat moves upward.
So far, I have this AIr Cooler and my CPU didn't even touch the 70C Mark during Benchmarking and when I overclocked my AMD with AMD Ryzen Master it kept the CPU cool with stable Temp, readings of not greater than 70C
Which contact frame is better for 14700K, the one that comes with Arctic Freezer 36 or Thermalright LGA1700-BCF Black V2? I have both😅. Thank you.
I have the same question here! 😁
You have to use Arctic's contact frame otherwise you won't be able to mount the cooler.
True, if you don’t have other mounting options.
Okay so it looks like you didn't understand clearly. If you want to use Freezer 36 on Lga1700, you have to use their contact frame because there are holes in the contact frame where you mount the cooler. You simply cannot put TG or TR contact frame on cpu and then "mount" the Freezer 36. Freezer 36 has its own contact frame that can be used only on Freezer 36...
There is an outlier here though. This is an open air bench station so the results here will not translate with a PC assembled inside a case.
You need to test more air coolers. Thermalright's higher end easily beats this and the D15 for just $15 more. This is still an excellent price/performance cooler
Have you seen the full aircooler test I've done?
This is too good to be true! You're running that on the CPU you're not allowed to not thermal throttle and it's not throttling? I wouldn't even go past a 13700k myself with this thing. I want In!
The included mounting plate is a nice touch for sure, but I could not find any on Amazon or NewEgg that had the contact frame, yet were still 80+ Canadian dollars. If it competes with the Thermalright PA then it must be decent. I don’t know.
Wowz this actually beats my EKWB AIO!
How does it do once the cpu is heat-soaked?
Any idea how this will hold up with just 1 fan ?
I bought a R7 4750GE (35w TDP) and thinking of using this cooler just in pull config with 1 fan. Any feedback on this use case ?
I think you'll loose quite a bit of performance, but for 35W I think it's fine!
@@theTechNotice Thanks, I mean its a File-Server with some Docker containers and the 4 Case fans should help as well. Its just 8 bucks more than a wraith stock fan so I will go for it.
it would be cool if the cooler supported the intel 115X socket, also I might use this for my future AM4 NAS local server
20-23 ish euros + shipping, i don't know why ANY even on a low budget would use a stock ryzen or amd cooler, Freezer 36 better temps and lower noise than any stock cooler with a high margin
Please tell me. Is it possible to mount it vertically?
I want that the air to goes from below to up (to the top of the case).
Love my Grizzly contact frame setup with the Noctua NH-U12A on the together with the intel i913900KS :) video editing works like a breeze. will wait for the new Noctua 15 cooler
Your temperatures are better than this cooler?
Im a full time professional video editor and I have to have a quite setup.
Has for a long time used mac just because of that problem with powerfull PC´s.
Then i went all noctua with my new PC build... never going back :P @@fernandolaiza3652
it is Arctic Freezer 36 enough for i5-14600k ?
Where are the new Noctua models?
what is the model of your keyboard?😁
Thx for the nice review but the people over at Nexus come to a different conclusion. Of course they have a whole team and the means to cover more in depth testing. Basicly: it is a decent cooler for intel platform (up to 250W) thanks to the included support bracket, but it performs mediocre on Amd platform (at 200W). Also, the "normal" price is supposed to be 55 to 60$ US, which would make it much less interesting.
I do like the "clip-on" fan system. Refreshing to finally see some innovation.
Replaced Noctua 15D to Freezer 36, and yeah, the Freezer brings a significant better perfomance on a 13900k.
Are you for real? The no tuna is a double tower and supposedly the best cooler out there, how much better?
@@oliverhandal6264 he's running this on a 14900k in video and it did great.
On that open bech of yours, if both fans are in push, does this heatsink work with that? Those single tower ones that does, dramatically improve in performance. Some effectively performs as a dual tower, some even outperform their dual tower siblings, like the 92mm Noctua range of coolers. Your're literally not going with the flow, and this one, seems like a great one for just this style of flow. I just cannot tell, given that no one actually show or review the heatsink itself. Just a warning: If you get the physics of this, and learn how to apply it, there is no going back. Also, no one will believe you, and you will fight an uphill battle as you do not go with the flow. But the performance is awesome, and it is for free. Just saying.
Do you mean both fans basically pushing air at each other through the tower? What physics is there to get, and what's the criteria for a tower to "work with that"?
@@bishnooktawak Simple. You do not stack heat. The warmest place inside the case, is at a heatsink exhahust. As for a single tower, a push-pull do not increase flow much, but a dual push will, for simplicty sake, double the flow. Also, the air will be cool, and heat up towards the center, again, simplified. The simple physics is, that you increase flow, and lower the temp of the air cooling. For a single tower to work with that, well, the air obviously need to be able to escape, without too much impedance. But given that you have double the flow, it can take quite a beating. If the side of a tower is too block out, the fins is shaped to work against such a flow, or if there simply is too much going on in the heatsink, read way too high a density of heatpipes, the cost of doing this, is not there. Airflow is impeded too much.
And no. They push against each other, or they both pull, but the air enters through the fans, and exists on the side.
I just reran some testing on the 92mm Noctua of mine. Flipping the fans like this, resulted in 3C reduction. As in about 3C cooler CPU, with the fans running the same RPM. In both cases, they were ducted. Also, for my ryzen 7700, I decided to run the slim 92mm fans, at 35% max, as I at that speed only lost 3W cooling capacity, as compared to running a single fan at 70%. Adding a second fan, I could reduce the cooling by 19% on the fan speed, and achieve a tad better cooling. That is not a great heatsink.
I also run a D15 on a 7950x. I run it in that 145W eco mode, and the fans max out at about 800rpm for all cores at full throttle. That is using ducted 120mm fans. That is without shifting the cpu. As in why bother? I cannot even hear them fans, even if I try to. On that build, I need to drop the MB, as the MB is having a faint coil whine, that is way louder than the fans. It stays below 90C for all core. I don't use case fans by the way, as my designs do not need them.
Long answer. But this is not a joke. It is real well known and proven physics. Just don't expect miracles from a poor heatsink with issues. Things like this only improves the temp of the air and a bit of flow, when it works.
For the record a ryzen 7700 runs just fine at below 600rpm, full throttle, using my D15, again, without any shifting. It will then run at below 80C for all core. That is using the worst power virus I could find. I just ran a quick test of it. That is at 90W package power.
This will be my last post in any comment section about this, before I start posting my own work. These are the numbers that will be in my videos.
If you didn't get the memo. 0 case fans. Ducted CPU running at max 600. Ducted GPU running at max 800rpm. Semi passive PSU, that hardly ever spins up. I short, I cannot hear the thing. Been running this for two years now. Nobody seems to belive me, or rather, everyone seem to not be able to understand how it works. But it does. And it is bloody basic.
So in short, I am about to release the most quiet cases there is, on the market. I have been sharing in public, over and over again, how this works, in comments like this. So when people finally gets the memo, "in the comments" sort of will get a new meaning. Particularly when it comes to dual tower coolers, because no one ever thought about this, even when informed about it, is just flat out embarrassing.
Just for the record, I used to run a 3950x, at about 150W, as in stock, and I think the fans ran at about 800-900rpm back then, with no real throttling. Again, no case fan. Just to be clear, the fans are ducted. Just ordinary paste.
So no. No one will pick up this comment either. Only when my first customers actually use the my work as intended, they will finally get the message I guess. If that is what it takes, it will be embarrassing for the entire industry. That is a lot of post over the years. Not to mention that this is basic physics, and applied all over the place for water cooling.
Last post. Then the ship sails. Not doing it this way again.
PS! Writing this sitting right next to my PC. I cannot hear the computer, as the snoring of my dog over powers it. Just the way I want it. Love that dog. Also, when he snores, I still cannot hear it. I my own breath is over powering the PC noise. Still sitting right next to it. It is that bad. This seriously works. People are just too slow. As I said. Last post.
30 dollar cooler with a contact frame is amazing value... No idea if it will be that price forever but even 5 bucks more than the Thermalright PA woukd be competitive especially if you want to use 4 tall ram sticks
u are bot
@@a4man90 I are Spoon. R u bot?
i have a 12th gen 12600kf i5 unlocked with a 30$ cooler AG400 WH works pretty nicely :D even when i use cpu burn doesnt go past 70C for my build
Strange! I have to recheck the mounting in mine then.... 14600K with Intel settings, MSI Z790 Edge Ti Max and it throttles terribly. 100ºC at 180W...
Use liquid metal on this setup?
Air cooler's forever. 95% of you using water coolers are unnecessarily adding an unneeded fail point to your rig.
I mean, it looks cool
Especially people with 240/280mm ones in mid tower cases.
🤣🤣@@NoaFer
Air coolers have never failed
Agree after having 2 high end 280mm NZXT Kraken's fail, Went back to air cooling and going to stay there.
Top end dual air coolers are getting close to low and mid range AIO's anyway, Water looks good and that's about it, Noise wise I found the pump noise to be annoying and always ended up needing to set pump and fans to 50% which defeats the purpose of having water cooling.
Have you ever tested the Thermalright Peerless Assassin Air Cooler?
En este instante la voy a comprar, $29 en Amazon...gracias por la información.
link to that thermostat please
I'm really, really confused!
This costs £19 only?! And is the best air cooler on the market???
£17 via Amazon
Its not so cool on amd but in intel is good
With this, we don't need the aio?
There's very little reason that you *need* an AIO. If you don't know what those reasons are, then you almost certainly don't need one.
No way P12 Max are more quiet than P12, my max fan produces resonance hum noise but also sometimes bearing whine, P12 also had this hum but supposedly Arctic fixed this with most recent revisions of both fans which this cooler uses.
will this work on an AM4 socket?
Yes according to their website I am planning to buy this for my 5600G
cooling a 14900k with a NH-d15 /w 3 fans on it I don't exceed 81C
Now the question I have is if it can continually cool 200W with p12 max fans while staying somewhat silent.
It probably can but cpu would be running really warm and cooler will be loud. I would go for the PS120 or 240mm+ liquid cooler if you want it stay silent. Best bet is Freezer III 360 for 76 bucks from their official site.
@@kinzie3915 You mean Thermalright PS120SE? Please reply!
@@vladvah77 Doesn't actually matter. There is only up to 1c difference between PS120 and PS120 SE. What cpu do you have?
bro can you review mechanical keyboard budget ?
with all that watt why its still not going 6ghz ??
Compared to the Noctua NH-U12A ?
Well, can't speak for the U12A. I bought the Arctic and installed it today. It's a good cooler, but my D15s with a single fan is definitely quieter at the same temperature. Sometimes the Freezer 36 produces noise because of interference of the RPM of the 2 Fans. For the price I'm very happy with the Freezer 36 though. The build quality and finish is very good. I have the white ARGB. version
Maybe that cooler could have the lian li lcd fan ....yes!?
is it good combo with R5 7600x?
Yes
Can an 14700k be aircool with this one WITOUT THERMAL THROTTLE?
He's got a 14900K on show in the video and it doesn't thermal throttle at 300w. Stock wattage for the 14700K is 253w. So no you shouldn't.
@@samstrand90 So let me make this straight. His video shows 10 seconds long Cinebench runs so cooler isn't able to get fully saturated. I have bought ARGB version of this cooler and it can handle up to 250w. Anything more than that.. will thermal throttle. This video is as fake as it can be.
is this better than the Noctua NH-D15 ?
Yes
So he can cool 7950x3d with his max tdp?
Psst. Price on their website on this Freezer 36 is very tasty.
I wonder if this cooler can keep the beast Ryzen 5900X in leash...
Is it compatible with intel i7 9700k
Just WOW.
Arctic is here to disrupt the PC cooling industry lmao
I've got an Arctic Freezer 34 Duo eSport on my 14700K that can keep it 2℃ cooler at idle than my Corsair H150i Elite LCD 360mm AIO!!! Imagine!?!? I've also got their Liquid Freezer 2 which outperforms every other cooler I've tried.
If it wasn't for the LCD screen I would use the Freezer 34 Duo.
I'm the guy who buys different components and tinkers around with their PC like car guys do to their engines lol
PCMR until we die!!!!
The price of a single Phantec T30 fan is higher than the price of this whole cooler! 😂
Yep 😇
Does anyone happen to know whether this cooler could fit in a b450 mini-Atx motherboard?
Amazing, thanks! I By the way, can anyone help me with a problem I've found upgrading my brother's PC. He bought a Mobo Gigabyte Gaming B760 X AX and some other components. Everything was going great but we hit a wall trying to install his old GPU Asus RTX 3050 8Gb in a BeQuiet Power base 600 case. The I/o bracket of the GPU is too long and the PCI connector doesn't sit well. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
Phantom Spirit comparison?
those cpu cooler are silent, BUT not for long term. in a year they get louder .
Given there's no real world performance gain to be had from overclocking, there's just no reason to buy an AIO any more.
I think there's a point here worth considering! :)
@@theTechNoticeI live in a hot and humid environment. Obviously we run aircon, but still. I wonder if here there is a meaningful difference between an Arctic 360 and this aircooler for example?
