[Music]

cooler the freezer 36 is the successor

to artics already popular freezer 35 and

freezer 34 Esports Duo now it comes with

a powerful dual fan setup in a pushpull

configuration ensuring excellent heat

dissipation the freezer 36 comes in four

models well it actually comes in five

all models come with four copper heat

pipes two 120 mm High static pressure

pwm controlled fans an aluminum plate

covering the heat sink and complete AMD

and Intel motherboard support they even

promised future compatibility with

Intel's upcoming aerol Lake LGA 1851

series sockets the base freezer 36 with

an unpainted heat sink is currently

selling for2

$5.40 over on Amazon the completely

blacked out model comes in at

$284 now if you want to add RGB you're

looking at

$330 for the freezer 36 a RGB in black

and 3387 if you'd rather have it in

white such odd pricing numbers but

that's what they are currently I'll

leave links in the description for you

to check out current pricing or pick one

up for yourself the reason I said four

instead of five is there's kind of a

bonus model that I can't find for sale

any anywhere but it is listed on

arctic's website it's the freezer 36 Co

which is equipped with fans using double

ball bearings this makes them more

durable and resistant to external forces

such as heat dust and vibrations this

version is the ideal choice for 24/7

operation the freezer 36 undergo serious

long-term testing which ensures their

products offer quality and durability

and they back this with an impressive

six-year warranty why don't we go ahead

and get this thing unboxed don't forget

to peel the contact surface protective

sticker off or you're going to have a

bad day this cooler comes with two fans

but I'll look at them in a sec the heat

sink has a beautiful satin finish and

has these quick snap mounting points for

fan mounting there are two spring-loaded

captive screws with a tension bar used

to secure the cooler onto both Intel and

AMD style motherboards the only plastic

bag in the box includes the mounting

hardware which gives you four gray

risers and screws with two mounting

brackets framed D or for intel four

mounting screws used with arctic's

custom contact frame this is installed

using an included hex key screwdriver as

you'll see later in the video there's a

black circle sticker that's got arctic's

logo in the bag as well I think it's in

case you decide to turn the fans around

and mount them backward since the logo

isn't displayed on the fan bracket side

there's also a small tube of arctic's

very own MX6 thermal paste the fans are

packaged in nice cardboard sleeves and

are 120 mm a argb and pwm control

they've got Daisy chainable cables which

means you can plug multiple fans

together taking up less plugs on your

motherboard the fans also have

pre-installed screws already oriented in

the correct position for easy

installation onto the CPU Cooler are you

wondering how this works then let's jump

over to installation and I'll show you

I'm going to start with Intel since I'm

using AMD for my test system the first

thing that needs to be done is removal

of the stock Intel retention clip system

Arctic provided a hex type screwdriver

to remove the brackets don't forget to

open the lever arm to release spring

tension once the screws are loose just

lift it away be careful not to damage

the pins on the way out as everything is

now exposed now you can install the CPU

since arctic's contact frame will hold

down the processor you'll reuse the

Intel back plate by screwing the bracket

into it place the frame onto the

motherboard with the indented Triangle

located on the frame frame in the same

Corner as the gold CPU triangle use the

four short thread included screws for

securing the bracket I tightened in a

crisscross pattern snugging all four

screws don't overtighten them as you

could risk damaging the board place the

cooler down onto the retention bracket

and tighten the two captive screws a few

turns on each until they stop remember

how I said the fans have easy

installation onto the cooler both fans

snap into place using a screw and clip

system this is much better than those

annoying metal Clips most companies use

for this All That Remains is plugging

everything in Connect both fans RGB

cables and then connect them to the

5volt addressable RGB header on your

motherboard the last connection is the

pwm connectors which work in the exact

same way connect them together and then

to the CPU fan header hide all your

cables under the CPU Cooler for that

Ultra Clean look and you're done the AMD

installation is a little bit more

standard start by removing the AMD

mounting brackets by loosening the four

screws and lifting them away then place

the four gray plastic risers onto the

stock AMD back plate place the straight

metal brackets included in your Hardware

bag angled outward and secure with the

four full thread screws and tighten the

rest of the installation is basically

the same as with Intel lower the cooler

down onto your motherboard and tighten

the captive screws back and forth until

they stop then press each fan onto the

quick snaps and they will lock in Place

connect your RGB headers together and

onto the 5vt addressable motherboard

header as well as the pwm fan cables

they'll connect to your motherboard CPU

fan header hide the cables away under

the CPU Cooler and once again you're all

done now I'm sure you're wondering how

well this thing performs for $25 let's

talk about that the test bench that I

went with is a ryzen 7 7800x 3D CPU I've

got 32 GB of G skills Trident Z5 Neo

clocked at 6,000 gz an MSI b650 Tomahawk

Wi-Fi motherboard and an EVGA RTX 360 TI

for the win 3 Ultra graphics card it's

listed in the description in case you

didn't catch all that now let's look at

the freezer 36s competition I wanted to

pair it up with a similar style cooler

and of course I needed a control too I

used the Deep cool ak400 digital for

comparison and amd's own wraith prism

for our control coer now I decided to

throw in an all-in-one liquid cooler

just to see how far away the air coolers

were in performance for this I went with

the fractal design Lumen s36 I ran three

different tests as usual started with

cinebench R23 to push as much demand at

the CPU as possible then I switched over

to blender which is a little less

intensive but still creates quite a bit

of heat and finally I wrapped it up with

unen Heaven which simulates a gaming

workload the temperatures that you see

are the highest numbers observed

as you can see the freezer 36 is a nice

upgrade over something like amd's prism

it was also much quieter by the way and

it comes in just shy of the ak400 which

costs about $10 more I ended up using

the digital version which is even more

expensive than that I was very impressed

with both Tower cooler options besting

performance of the 360 mm liquid cooler

this trend continues into the blender

testing as the freezer 36 sees the best

temperatures yet even if it's only by

one degree now unin Heaven saw excellent

temperatures across all cooling options

so it really comes down to

noise I cannot believe how quiet these

fans are even Under full load now I know

my thermal and noise testing is nothing

scientific as I'm not really equipped to

perform anything spectacular but I was

impressed with the 36' silent operation

circling all the way back to the

beginning the Arctic freezer 36 did not

disappoint it performed great and with

an entry price of just $25 I'm sold if

you're looking for a solid CPU tower

cooler but don't want to spend a bunch

of money the freezer 36 will fit

perfectly the Intel contact frame is a

nice bonus too it was easy to install

and I think it's smart to include this

at after all the pressure issues with

the stock Intel retention system I

wasn't too happy with the fact that I

had to use digital instructions for

installation though I prefer paper ones

this cooler is an awesome product that

performed really well in thermal testing

and operated at a near silent noise

level I'd say this is a good choice for

an upgrade over something like AMD stock

cooler or if you want to save a little

bit of money over a more expensive

option as impressive as this cooler was

I was more impressed with AMD ryzen 7

7800x 3D even with The Wraith prism

cooler temps were totally manageable

between the performance of this chip and

the recent price drop I think Intel has

a tough battle ahead fighting for the

gaming Crown if you enjoyed today's
