Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler

Freezer 7 Pro CPU Heatsink

Strengths: Quiet, improvement over stock heat sink, price

Weakness: Installation can be difficult

This hsf is a cost effective way to improve air cooling for overclocked or dual core cpu's. The copper surface of the heat sink is rough and I improved the performance by lapping before mounting. The rubber mounted fan is very quiet and cannot be heard over the case fans. For its price this is a very effective hsf for moderate overclocking.

This hsf is a cost effective way to improve air cooling for overclocked or dual core cpu's. The copper surface of the heat sink is rough and I improved the performance by lapping before mounting. The rubber mounted fan is very quiet and cannot be heard over the case fans. For its price this is a very effective hsf for moderate overclocking. It is larger than the stock hsf but is not as tall as other models. The fan can be rotated to blow toward the back exhaust fan.

Artic Freezer 7 Pro

Strengths: Quiet keeps my Intel D805 cool. idle 38C @ 3.0g overclock

Weakness: Might have more heat dissapation if fins were copper

Overclock to 3.0 currently using components from wife's old computer
Bought new motherboard MB ASROCK 775Dual-VSTA PT880PRO 775 CPU INTEL D805 2.66G and Freezer 7 pro from newegg for less than 200.00 plus shipping pretty good deal.

For the price you can't beat it.

Strengths: Price, keeps the CPU cool while overclocking, much better then stock heatsink, quiet, and a six year warranty to boot.

Weakness: Mainly its size, might have trouble fitting on certain motherboards.

Great air cooler for my Core 2 Duo E6600, it keeps my processor chilly at around 35C under load. Compared with other coolers its much cheaper too. Always been a fan of Arctic Cooling products and its my second one already. The previous one in my other build is about two years old is still running strong; highly recommended.

Tip: Get some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste to go along with it!

Freezer 7 Pro CPU

Strengths: Quiet, improvement over stock heat sink, price

Weakness: Keeps breaking the Heatsink retaining clips on my M2N-SLI, on 4th set now.

A little noisy, even over the 4 case fans i have, temp difference from last CPU fan wasn't that great. Needs large case to handle stand-off from CPU.

Reduced my P4 LGA775 CPU temp 20 degrees C

Strengths: Quiet, light-weight (compared to other after-market heatsinks), great airflow. Easy-to-install.

Weakness: None, so far.

CPU temp dropped from 61 degrees C to 41 degrees C in normal operations. Normal operations include video editing and DVD recording, office-type applications, and Flight Simulator 9. Installed (following the directions) with Arctic Silver 5 paste. Air flow is from front-to-back (aligned with my case airflow), and it just happens to align with the rear exhaust fan on my Antec P160 case. How...
