Processor Coolers

Processor coolers keep the temperature of your processor down. A cooler processor will have a longer lifespan, overclock much better and run with greater stability. They also aid noise reduction and case air flow. A popular option for all gaming computers as they offer good gains for little money.

 

 

Stock heatsink and fan

They do exactly what they say on the tin. Keep your processor cool enough to run at stock speeds and sometimes allow for some overclocking.


 

 

Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro

This extremely quiet CPU cooler Freezer 7 Pro with patented fan casing delivers outstanding cooling performance. The low speed fan reduces the noise level to a minimum. The PWM chip in the motor allows an exact fan speed control over the BIOS. The Heat Pipes with expanded diameter are able to transfer heat up to 200 Watt. The heat exchanger is built of 42 fins and consists of a surface area of over 4700 cm2 and allows for resistance free energy transfer to air. Air is drawn in from the side of the fan to cool the components around the CPU. Some air is blown out towards the voltage converters on the mainboard with the bent fins at the bottom. The four rubber connectors on the fan case act as a vibration damper to absorb the vibration of the running fan. This can reduce significant vibration between plastic fan case and heatsink.

Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme

An Extremely Quiet Twin Tower Cooling Solution To offer the enthusiast’s market an ultimate CPU cooler for extreme overclocking, Freezer XTREME, a Extremely Quiet Twin Tower CPU cooler especially designed for gamers to fulfill their needs.
The unique twin tower heatsink consists of 102 fins, which significantly increase the heat dissipation area to distribute massive amount of heat faster and more efficient. The 120mm PWM fan which combined with 8 heatpipes (4 double-sided) and the twin tower heatsink not o­nly transfers heat from the CPU, but it also cools the RAM, north bridge and voltage regulators. Together with the pre-applied MX-2, the Freezer Xtreme offers performance far beyond stock coolers and achieves 160 Watts cooling capacity – an excellent thermal management that boosts overclocking to a new level.
The bigger the fan doesn’t mean the noisier the cooler will be. The 120mm fan of the Freezer Xtreme is equipped with low noise impeller and patented fan holder for quiet operation. Controlled by PWM signal, the fan runs just the necessary speed for lowest noise level at maximum cooling capacity. The result is outstanding – the Freezer Xtreme generates o­nly 0.5 Sone at full load, much quieter than the standard and aftermarket coolers even with a bigger fan.
