ARCTIC's retro cpu coolers & fans lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features

CONTACT FRAME FOR INTEL LGA1851 AND LGA1700: Improved contact pressure distribution through Intel mounting frame for efficient heat transfer thanks to even CPU contact surface
HIGH-PERFORMANCE FOR HIGH-END CPUs: With its 4 offset heat pipes, the single-tower cooler enables fast heat transfer to the heat sink. There, the heat is efficiently dissipated by pressure-optimised 120 mm fans.
INNOVATIVE FAN MOUNTING: Innovative click installation system makes it easier to install the cooler or replace the fans. The Freezer 36 is compatible with most 120 mm fans
SIDE-FLOW HEAT SINK: By opening the fins on the side, the pull fan draws additional cool air out of the case through the heat sink, optimises ventilation and increases cooling efficiency
DIGITAL A-RGB: The 12 A-RGB LEDs placed along the fan hub and the transparent rotor with its closed design ensure even and rich illumination
