Arctic Announces the Freezer 13 Pro CPU Cooler
ARCTIC's Freezer series is undoubtedly a reference mark in the world of CPU coolers. Today, ARCTIC proudly presents the new flagship in the Freezer 13 series - Freezer 13 PRO. The new CPU cooler incorporates an innovative Cross-Blow technology to provide unmatched cooling performance for professional systems. The Cross-Blow technology is cooling down the Northbridge and voltage regulators on the main board specifically. Equipped with an additional 50 mm PWM-controlled fan at the base of the CPU cooler, this extra downward blowing fan would help generating airflow to other chipset parts. This, thus, dramatically lowers the temperature of the surrounding components near the CPU.
Superior in its ground-breaking engineering design, the Freezer 13 PRO overpowers its competitors by generating up to 300W of cooling capacity. Featuring an ultra-quiet 120 mm PWM-controlled fan with four U-shaped 8mm copper heatpipes, the Freezer 13 PRO is all set for inaudible and massive heat dissipation. The mega-sized CPU cooling fan guarantees adequate airflow through the aluminum fins in the heatsink. Such meticulously engineered mechanism effectively and efficiently transfers the emitted heat away from the core of the CPU.
The entire installation process of the Freezer 13 PRO is very simple. The unique mounting system via push pins offers excellent stability. With a fiber reinforced retention module, the plastic frame is strong enough to sustain the heavy weight of the CPU cooler. The pre-applied ARCTIC MX-4 thermal compound guarantees high thermal conductivity while making the installation a quick and clean process as well.
Aiming to cope with constant changes in PCs and massive heat output, this new CPU cooler is targeted at PC enthusiasts modding on current high-end PC platforms, including a wide range of Intel and AMD CPUs. It is also compatible with the newest Intel Sandy Bridge LGA 1155 processors.
The Freezer 13 PRO comes with a 6 year limited warranty, with a MSRP set at $54.90 USD and €39.90 EUR, excl. VAT. It is definitely a step up from any other ordinary CPU coolers in the market. ARCTIC, again, brings affordable and innovative cooling solution to computer enthusiasts and overclockers.

Can't argue with the 6 year warranty, though. That's badass.
Tempted to get one actually.
Recon it will do better than Gemini two?
Meaning NB and Mosfet area get airflow. ( also means heatpipes get some airflow obviously)
Given the design of the mounting bracket (it looks like it will partially block the fans airflow) I doubt this will make any real difference at all to the MOSFET area. They would of been better off bending some of the bottom fins to direct air from the main fan down that way (assuming a left to right orientation*).
*A top to bottom orientation means the heatpipes would block any airflow to the usual MOSFET area of a motherboard.
By how much? I've no idea, will buy one and let you know soon.
Can see there is a bit of airflow from the main fan too from the looks of things.
kinda sucks....
Ghetto mod an extra fan to and BINGO it's performing the same as the other coolers.
This one should preform slightly better. Please take into account that coolers below 40€ can hardly handle overclocks. They are made to improve system temps from the stock coolers and reduce the noise, not to make miracles and make your 1.3v 4GHz CPU go below the ambient room temp or only 10ºC above said temperature.
Apart from the horrible plastic mounting kit this looks like a decent budget proposal.
Hell I'm in the 4ghz club with that chip and cooler :laugh:
1.5 volts @4ghz would net me a TDP of around 120w with that chip :laugh:
Hell I even done a 4.2 ghz run at 1.7v :laugh: (this was not stable, nor was it chilly)
( about 170w or so)
Idles were in 50s for that one though, but to be fair I was WAY beyond it's rated specs :laugh:
Also, gamezoom... never heard of them. And if they're like the other gaming magazines in Germany who happen to review some hardware to fill pages, I wouldn't put my trust in them that much.
