CPU Cooling Fans

Arctic Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 CPU Cooling Fan for AM4/AM5/115x Socket Silver

The cooler from Arctic is active, which means it uses a fan to reduce the processor's temperature. It has a 160W TDP. To properly operate the cooler, its wattage performance should be at least equal to the processor's Thermal Design Power (TDP). This will also help with the noise generated by the cooler's fan, as it won't reach its limits. A cooler with a lower TDP than the processor's may be less effective, noisy, and could potentially reduce the lifespan and performance of your processor. See full description

    The most value-for-money cooler. It may not be as beautiful as it is an older design, but for someone who wants pure performance, it can't be compared to anything else at this price. It is also quiet and easy to install on both Intel and AMD. It was installed on a Ryzen 9 5900x.

    Very good VFM cooler. There is no dual tower 120mm at such a price! I installed it on an i5 9400F because I wanted a good, quiet cooler at a good price, and exactly that is the Arctic Freezer Xtreme, which keeps the processor at 60 degrees in bench without making any noise at all. At this price, I don't think there is a better option.

    The main problem with this specific one is that - in the case of an Intel processor at least - the plastic base that it has is placed on the top side of the motherboard. This can cause a slight alteration of the motherboard's surface over time at the point where the heatsink stands, since the pressure is only applied downwards and not bidirectionally, resulting in possible instability in the signal. Other than that, I would say its advantages are its relatively quiet operation and the fact that, despite being bulky, it is not very tall and can be installed in smaller ATX cases. On the other hand, there are better options in its category for a little more money - especially in terms of performance, there are coolers in its category that achieve lower temperatures by at least 5 degrees. Also, if you have RAM with tall heatsinks in all four slots and you want to install a second fan, you will have a problem with the last slot. Even with low profile memory, I had to place the fan higher on the heatsink. The installation process is annoying, but the same can be said for most coolers in its category. Overall, it is not the worst product, but it is not the best either. If you have a powerful computer and a case that can accommodate larger coolers, I would recommend spending a little more and going to the next level or going straight to liquid cooling.

    I installed it on two computers very quickly. One is a quad-core (socket 775) and the other is a hexa-core (socket 1366). It reduced the temperature in the first one from 80° to 50° and in the second one from 90° to 55° very well.

    The temperature is so-so. On an amd fx8350 without oc, it reached 70 degrees easily in stress tests. In everyday use (gaming, photo editing), it hasn't made a peep. Where it excels is in the noise, which is almost nonexistent! The installation is a nightmare, to say the least!

    I installed it on an AMD FX6300, it dropped at least 20 degrees from the maximum processor temperature. To install it, you need to remove the fan, screw it in, and then put it back on. It requires caution because due to its size, if you install the heatsink, you won't have much space to easily connect the fan cable. But for its price, it's perfect

    Tremendous difference in cooling, in G3258 (4.2 OC) 20 C idle!!!!
    Very beautiful and quiet, very sturdy construction, don't worry about it being bulky and not screwing onto the motherboard, the clips attach incredibly securely, just the installation requires some forceful handling.

    Very good cooler, I'm glad I didn't buy something more expensive!! Cheap, silent, even at full RPM and easy to install. 2 large fans on the right and left, and a 120mm fan in the middle to cool down the high temperature, plus the copper heat pipes that absorb more heat than the silver ones!!! For me, it's top-notch, you don't need anything more, everything else is just extra effects that other coolers charge extra for!! It's worth it!!!
