SHOCKING 👉 The Best AIR-COOLER I've tested YET! | Arctic Freezer 36 Test & Review 

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.

If only they came with RGB.

@@cemsengul16 there is an argb version comes in black or white too arctic is amazing

Try out their p12 max fan ... Its just ridiculously powerful and quiet

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

He swaps to the stock fans at 7:15 and the temps are slightly higher but a little quieter.

@@pickletullioHe swaps to P12 Max. The ones that come with the cooler are P12.

I don't think it will beat the peerless by much.

@@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.

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

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.

@@reinulf656Do u think this would be a good air cooler for an i5-13600k?

24.3C ambient temperature

@@theTechNotice is this cooler better for 13700k than Thermalright BA120 CPU Air Cooler 6 Heat Pipes that i have for gaming?

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.

14900K as shown in the video.

@@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!

@@cubanodebate9484 Yeah it shows it in both Cinebench and HWiNFO.

Honestly, both brands offer great value. I like Thermalright's air coolers, and Arctic's 5-pack case fans are so good for the money.

Considering that right now its like 50% cheaper, it indubitably beats it in price to performance.

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...

Yes according to their website I am planning to buy this for my 5600G

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

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.

u are bot

@@a4man90 I are Spoon. R u bot?

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.

it comes with the cooler.

Agree

so this can cool 300w, while gn tested freezer 360 III with a tdp locked to 250w. Something is wrong with those tests.

@@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.

@@kinzie3915 GN is wrong. None is going to buy a 360 aio to keep cpu locked at 250w. Let's be serious.

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.

No makes no sense what are you talking about this is A36 lol

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.

Have you seen the full aircooler test I've done?

BOT

@@a4man90 you caught me

Yep 😇

Yes, and louder.

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.

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?

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.

You won the lottery ;)

Its not so cool on amd but in intel is good
