After the announcement of the new water cooler series, ARCTIC is now announcing the next product highlights - this time in the area of air cooling. For its 23rd anniversary, the manufacturer is still in a celebratory mood and is also bringing the Freezer 36 onto the market at special prices. With significantly increased performance and simplified assembly, the Freezer 36 not only outperforms its predecessor models but also holds its own against the competition.

Even more efficient ventilation is achieved thanks to the optimized heat sink with side-flow design. Two of ARCTIC's proven P-fans, known for their performance, are used in push-pull-configuration. The innovative click-fastening system enables quick and easy installation and fan replacement. For the upcoming LGA1851 and LGA1700 installation, the Freezer 36 uses a special contact frame that distributes the contact pressure evenly. This minimizes the mechanical stress on the CPU and motherboard and increases cooling performance.

Since its launch, the Liquid Freezer has won countless awards. The new Premium Liquid Freezer III series starts with particularly affordable prices as part of the big 2024 birthday campaign. With the third generation of the award-winning all-in-one water-cooling series, ARCTIC has once again taken function and design to a new level. Developed for high cooling performance, the Liquid Freezer III boasts further developments of distinctive features such as a more efficient cold plate, an enlarged VRM fan and more radiator surface area for heat dissipation.

Another new feature is the possibility of individual control options: via different connection cables, the pump, VRM fan and radiator fan can be controlled and monitored All-in-One as with the Liquid Freezer II - but also independently of each other. Installation requires just a few simple steps, thanks to integrated cable management, only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard. Available in four sizes and three versions, the Liquid Freezer III offers the ideal combination of performance, technology and design for everyone.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the Liquid Freezer III is now live]

Arctic is giving finishing touches to its new Liquid Freezer III all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. Designed almost entirely in-house by Arctic, the cooler features a few unique design improvements over its predecessor, the Liquid Freezer II series. To begin with, the pump-block features a unique design resembling an aircraft turbofan engine intake. In the previous generations of Liquid Freezer, the VRM area ventilation fan appeared suspended on top of the pump-block, like it's a secondary fixture. Here, the fan is located inside top vent of the pump-block, and guides all its airflow laterally, providing some airflow to your CPU VRM and memory areas. The pump is located adjacent to this fan.

There are three color trims with four size variants, each. The color trims include White + ARGB, Black + ARGB, and Black sans lighting. In the White + ARGB and Black + ARGB variants, the lighting includes an addressable RGB LED element on the pump-block, with the fan vent serving as an LED diffuser; and each of the included fan having lighting of its own. Size variants for each of the three trims include 240 (240 mm x 120 mm); 280 (280 mm x 140 mm); 360 (360 mm x 120 mm); and 420 (420 mm x 140 mm). Arctic has made improvements to the radiator design, to extend its finnage (heat dissipation surfare area) to the edges of the frame. We'll learn more detailed specs such as the cooling performance and fan specs, as we head closer to product launch.The leaked teaser trailer for the Arctic Liquid Freezer III follows.

Equipped with an actively cooled motor, not only is the service life increased by up to 50 %, energy consumption is also reduced. The double ball bearing guarantees smooth continuous operation and resists external influences such as heat and dust.

Yesterday AMD released the new Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX series for socket sTR5. With the Freezer 4U-M, ARCTIC provides a strong cooling solution for the power-hungry CPUs with up to 96 cores, 5,35 GHz and 350 Watt TDP. With the new generation of workstation processors also known as Storm Peak, AMD offers a significant performance boost compared to the previous series. The ARCTIC Freezer 4U-M was specifically tested by AMD for these high-performance CPUs and met the specified performance values with plenty of margin.

To enable maximum airflow, the single-tower cooler with push-pull fan setup is specifically optimized for the east-west socket orientation (back-exhaust setup) of most Threadripper and EPYC boards and, unlike other cooler manufacturers, offers direct airflow in desktop - and server cases. The Freezer 4U-M is also compatible with AMD's SP6, SP3, TR4, sTRX4 and sWRX8, as well as Intel's LGA4189 and LGA4677 sockets.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, releases a multi-compatible server cooler for 4U server racks. The Freezer 4U-M is the successor of the established Freezer 4U SP3. It is a versatile server cooler with a push-pull fan setup, a large contact area and an improved mounting system. Thanks to its compatibility with Intel's LGA4189 and LGA4677 as well as AMD's SP6, sTR5, SP3, TR4, sTRX4 and sWRX8 sockets, it is suitable for a wide range of Intel and AMD server processors.

Even with its particularly high cooling performance, it consumes only 2.88 watts, underlining its remarkable energy efficiency even when cooling powerful processors with up to 64 cores and a TDP of up to 350 watts. With a generous 53 mm of RAM clearance, the Freezer 4U-M allows the use of memory modules with larger heatsinks. This clearance allows efficient air circulation and ensures compatibility with a wide range of RAM variants.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, extends the P-fan series with the P8 Max, a new high-performance fan. In contrast to the conventional P8 PWM, the P8 Max has a significantly increased speed with revolutions from 500 to 5000 rpm, which makes it ARCTIC's most powerful 80 mm fan. In addition, the P8 Max can be throttled down to standstill if no load is needed.

The P8 Max impresses with its extraordinary performance efficiency. At a speed of 3000 rpm, it consumes only 0.06 amps. In comparison, similar fans like the P8 require more than double at the same speed with 0.14 amps. Thanks to its significant static pressure, which is particularly effective for heatsinks, radiators, pinholes and tightly packed cases, as well as its high efficiency, this fan is ideally suited for use in server cases such as 2U racks.

FEEL THE FRESH AIR - ARCTIC GmbH, one of the leading manufacturers of low-noise PC coolers and components, is launching the Summair and Summair Plus table fans today. Both models feature a modern design in black and white and not only fit into any interior, but also provide pleasant cooling, especially on hot days.

SUMMAIR PLUS
The perfect accessory for hot days: the rechargeable battery integrated in the Summair Plus enables up to 25 hours (approx. 14 hours in normal operation) of wireless operation without an external power supply and can be charged within three hours with the supplied USB-C cable. The new Summair Plus is not only easy to use, but also steplessly adjustable from 600 to 3300 rpm. The speed of the fan can be easily adjusted individually via a rotary control.

A Reddit user has shared their experience of passively cooling an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, with some modifications to the setup. Using the Streacom DB4 passively cooled case, the user u/AromaticImpress7778 pulled off cooling a processor with 16 cores and 32 threads with a TDP of 170 Watts. Interestingly, the Streacom DB4 case rates CPU support for only 65 Watts, meaning some modifications were in place. To support the high-TDP CPU, the user used two of the one-kilogram copper bars and attached them to the case. Heat is transferred to the two one-kilogram blocks using the case's default plate and an additional 233-gram copper plate for the CPU and motherboard. These big copper blocks are not soldered to the case, but instead, the user puts Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal between copper parts and Arctic MX-6 between the case and copper.

To cool the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and MSI B650I board, accompanied by HDPlex GaN 250 W and 64 GB of memory, the system did well enough for a passive build. After running the system at full load, the CPU reached 95 degrees Celsius for CCD1 and 95 degrees Celsius for CCD2. The external panels of the Streacom DB4 case were getting 50C to 60C of heat. Additionally, the user noted that the usage of this system will be more relaxed, as it will not run under full load for a prolonged period. Regarding the system's total weight, the entire build weighs around 13 KG, with 4.4 KG of that being only copper. The case weighs 7.5 KG, and the other parts weigh about one kilogram.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, extends the P-fan series with the P12 Max, a new high-performance fan. In contrast to the conventional P12 PWM, the P12 Max has a significantly increased speed with revolutions from 200 up to 3300 rpm. This makes it ARCTIC's most powerful 120 mm fan. Without load, it can even be throttled down to standstill if required.

With its high static pressure and high-quality dual ball bearing, the P12 Max is the optimal fan for enthusiasts and professionals who rely on maximum performance and especially long service life. The new fan is suitable for all scenarios and is optimised for use on radiators and mesh. The P12 Max achieves a significant increase in performance on existing air- and water-cooling solutions. The P12 Max features a closed fan wheel design to ensure lower vibration rotation. The rubber pads at the corners absorb possible vibrations.

Today, ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, introduces the Alpine 17 LP, a new low-profile case cooler. The Alpine 17 LP relies on a slim and flat radial heat sink and a powerful fan. The installation height of the Alpine 17 LP is only 42.9 mm, making it ideal for small cases such as Mini-ITX cases and HTCPs.

The fan has a wide speed range of 300 to 3000 rpm and remains very quiet, even at higher speeds. The Alpine 17 LP also has the typical ARCTIC 4-pin PWM fan connector and can be easily connected and conveniently regulated via pulse width modulation. The cooler is mounted via push pins and therefore requires no additional tools. Thanks to the pre-applied MX-4 Thermal Paste, the entire assembly is quick and uncomplicated. ARCTIC gives the Alpine 17 LP the 6-year warranty typical for the manufacturer.

Arctic today unveiled the MX-6 thermal-compound. The incoming MX-6 replaces MX-5 from the shelves, which is now EOL, but retails alongside the MX-4, Arctic's best-selling TIM. The new MX-6 is a high-viscosity, non-conductive, non-capacitive thermal paste which doesn't corrode pure copper. It is suitable for processor IHS, exposed dies (such as GPUs), or even ceramic packages (such as DRAM chips).

The Arctic MX-6 has a viscosity of 550 poise, density of 3.2 g/cm³, 1.9 X 1013 Ω-cm, and a breakdown voltage of 250 V/mil. Each application can stay in place for 8 years (maintain conductivity and viscosity). The company didn't mention chemical composition or conductivity figures, yet. It comes in syringe-type dispensers of 2 g, 4 g, and 8 g, as well as a bundle of a 4 g dispenser with six MX Cleaner wipes. The MX-6 is available from now, priced at USD $6.79 for the 2 g syringe, $8.49 for the 4 g syringe, $9.79 for the 4 g syringe and 6 pieces of MX Cleaner wipes; and $11.99 for the 8 g syringe. These are introductory prices.

ARCTIC, leading manufacturer of silent PC coolers and components, today informs about the new INNO3D GEFORCE RTX 4090 ICHILL BLACK graphics card. We love innovative projects and enthusiastically took on the challenge of taming NVIDIA's power-hungry new release. Working closely with INNO3D, we created an efficient liquid cooling system for graphics cards. With technical know-how, in cooling combined with a clean, uncluttered design and straight lines and edges, the INNO3D GEFORCE RTX 4090 ICHILL BLACK graphics card is rightfully called "Brutal by Nature".

We would like to thank INNO3D for their very good collaboration. The new GeForce RTX 4090 iCHILL BLACK features a hybrid cooling solution that combines quiet airflow with powerful water cooling. We have been creating cooling solutions for computer hardware for over 20 years. Successful products such as the P-Series fans as well as the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II have found enormous appeal in the hardware industry. We set out to combine the successful aspects of these products to create a high-performance GPU cooler.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, expands its wide array of thermal interfaces with today's launch of the TP-3 Premium Performance thermal pads.

The TP-3 are softer than conventional pads and therefore particularly suitable for different chip heights and possible tolerances.Thanks to their good compression properties, they adapt to the surface profile without putting too much stress on the components. This ensures optimum heat transfer even on rough surfaces. The ARCTIC TP-3 Pads are heat-conducting, vibration-damping, deformable, electrically insulating and therefore safe and easy to use. They are versatile and are therefore ideal for RAMs, chipsets and ICs of all kinds, which are used in PCs, laptops, consoles, graphics cards and electronic devices in general.

Since its launch in 2019, the Liquid Freezer II series has won countless awards and become a popular product in the hardware community. Because ARCTIC is committed to serving this community with honesty and transparency, it is our duty to inform you of a potential issue. During ARCTIC's routine quality checks, we found a potential issue with certain Liquid Freezer II units. Which products are potentially affected? Affected products first went on sale in May 2021.

In certain units, the gaskets were not sufficiently vulcanized causing a chemical reaction to occur between the copper cold plate and the gasket. This reaction may lead to sulfur residue and copper plate deposits. If this has happened, it can lead to a reduction in cooling performance and potential loss of cooling liquid. The chemical reaction and degeneration of the gasket is a slow process and can occur within the 6-year warranty period. Thus, there is no reason to panic. We recommend that all affected coolers are serviced as soon as possible.

Today ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, introduces a new 140 mm case fan, the P14 Slim PWM PST. Small form factor enthusiasts will appreciate the slender frame of ARCTIC's latest case fan: with a mounting height of only 16 mm, the P14 Slim PWM PST takes up much less space than a standard case fan. This makes it an ideal choice for HTPC cases, SFF and mini PCs.

The P14 Slim PWM PST employs ARCTIC's signature PWM sharing technology (PST), allowing up to three additional fans to be connected in series. Fan speed can be controlled via PWM, and with a range of 150 to 1800 RPM, the P14 Slim PWM PST guarantees high cooling performance while keeping noise levels at a minimum.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, is pleased to announce that all AM4-compatible ARCTIC coolers will also be compatible with AMD's new AM5 socket.
