    Ottimo prodotto
    Ho preso questo dissipatore in sostituzione dell’originale AMD per il mio Ryzen 5600, la differenza stata notevole fin da subito!
    Precedentemente, su Spider-Man Remastered avevo registrato temperature CPU massime di circa 80 gradi, dopo la sostituzione la temperatura scesa intorno ai 58-60 gradi, nettamente migliori.

    Sicuramente ha contribuito il cambio di pasta termica (ma la CPU ha circa un anno, per cui non poteva essere cos secca) ma posso comunque definirmi soddisfatto.

    Consiglio a pieni voti.

    Good price quality ratio
    Good price quality ratio (I’ve paid 20 for the plain version).
    Pretty easy install, but the screws on the cooler (the preinstalled ones with the springs) are about 3mm too short to install it on my system (ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 with an AMD Ryzen 5600). I fixed this by adding o-rings above the gray spacers.
    The idle temp is 40C. Did not do a stresstest yet.

    Mon pc est ravis
    J’ai achet ce ventirad pour remplacer celui de base d’un AMD Ryzen 5 et comment expliquer quel point a change la donne.
    -25C sur la plupart des jeux et enfin ma chambre n’est plus une fournaise !!
    installation trs simple presqu’un jeu d’enfant et pour les performances et le bruit quasi inaudible de ce ventirad un prix si bas je ne peux que recommander !

    Guter und leiser Kühle
    Auf AM4 mit Ryzen 7 3700X verbaut. Obwohl das Gehuse keinen wirklich guten Airflow hat ist die Khlleistung sehr gut und der Freezer 36 Co sehr leise. Einfache Montage in Verbindung mit der AMD Backplate, zumal die Lfter nur eingeclickt werden. Der Freezer deckt zwar den Heatspreader nicht komplett ab, das ist aber kein Problem, weil alle heien Bereiche unter dem Heatspreader abgedeckt werden. Schade ist nur dass es kein Montagekit fr Intel Sockel 115x mehr gibt.

    Por el precio, hay pocas alternativas comparables
    Lo compr en oferta a 23, y creo que por ese precio no hay nada competitivo a este disipador. Tengo un Ryzen 5 5600X y en juegos no pasa de los 60C.

    Pros:
    -Muy fcil de instalar:
    Habiendo instalado infinidad de disipadores, creo que esta ha sido de las ms fciles a la hora de instalar sobre la CPU.
    -Bajo ruido en reposo:
    Cuando ests haciendo tareas normales, a bajas RPM, no hace mucho ruido, y el poco que hace, no es para nada molesto.
    -Esttica impecable:
    La esttica de este disipador es increble por el precio. La calidad de construccin es impecable. Muy bonito si tienes un setup totalmente negro.
    -Excelente anclaje de ventiladores:
    Los ventiladores se instalan mediante un sistema de acople por “cabezal de tornillo” que van enroscados al ventilador, y se acoplan mediante unos clips que agarran ese “cabezal de tornillo” con un sistema “click” bastante bien pensados.

    Contras:
    -Ruido en altos RPM:
    Si bien es verdad que no es una contra, sino que es algo intrnseco a los sistemas de refrigeracin por aire, es algo a tener en cuenta. Por ponerle una pega, podra ser algo ms silencioso, ya que mi anterior disipador era un peln ms silencioso. Pero igualmente no es lo peor que he visto en cuanto a ruido. Es decente.
    -Anclajes de ventilador de plstico:
    Entiendo tambin que por este precio, no se puede pedir ms, pero sigue siendo algo a tener en cuenta. Al ser los clips de anclaje de plstico, es posible que se rompa alguno, si al montar/desmontar, uno es un poco bestia a la hora de manejar el ventilador. Aunque estos anclajes tienen un tornillo, por lo que intuyo que Arctic debe proveer de estos anclajes en caso de rotura.
    -Ms alto que la media:
    Fjate si entra en tu torre, ya que la altura de este disipador es ms alto que la media. En mi torre, queda a 1mm de no entrar.

    En fin, es un ventilador bastante bonito en color totalmente negro. Por el precio, si lo pillas de oferta, no tiene rival. Es fresquito y medianamente silencioso.

    Le doy un 9/10 a este increble disipador de la ya prestigiosa marca Arctic Cooling. Si en una revisin aplican algo ms de aluminio para los anclajes, mejoran algo el diseo para mejor disipacin, se llevaran un 10/10. Pero vamos, ultra recomendado si vas corto de presupuesto, o si no quieres gastarte demasiado dinero en la refrigeracin.

    Very excellent air coole
    This is one of the best air coolers I’ve ever used in a build. I bought this in a process of replacing an old machine that went kaput on me, and that cooler used was an air cooler as well. No issues with that machine for what it’s worth, although the cooler in that machine was a Hyper 212 EVO back in 2016 which kept an i7-4790 around 40c. That machine now has an i5-4690 since the CPU died and had to be replaced, same temps around 40c. Not too bad.

    Compared to what this cooler is doing currently for a 12600KF in my current build, it is running as low as 19c and up to 26c, granted I’ve turned off some cores and turned off hyperthreading BUT, the huge difference for what I tend to use this machine for with this cooler, this is very excellent in what I’d want to use for what is essentially a file server/archival PC and as the replacement of the other aforementioned build above. Hands down, one of, if not, the best price/performance ratios for a budget air cooler I’ve seen in a while. After watching some reviews and comparisons on YouTube from GN, this can also fit the bill if your wattage usage for a CPU is pushing 200W. At that range it should be fine for keeping things cool but definitely not anything bad per se.

    The only thing I can say that may be a warning is if you’re installing on an Intel board you will need to be careful when installing its somewhat custom motherboard CPU bracket mounting system, which should be called the ILM, since there may be, not sure how much, a risk of shifting a portion of the CPU socket on the motherboard. You may want to have something underneath the motherboard to keep it from slipping. Useful information can be found on YouTube channels installing this. I did reference GN for this install, and it was not too bad for me. The reason why this step is needed is to make a better contact of the CPU heatsink contact with the CPU since most motherboards will not fully make contact with the CPU heatsink and CPU based on its ILM.

    If you have a new build, if you can afford one of these for its introductory price, I’d say it’s a great one to consider. After some time the price may increase but its still not to say its not worth it but depending on what’s available you can check and do comparisons on what else is offered in the market of air coolers. After the 3 months of this being released the price may change but we can only tell once/if this happens.

    Overall, I really like this CPU cooler for what it has done so far in keeping my CPU cool.

    Fantástico disipado
    Tengo el artic black y es muy sencillo de instalar ,adems viene con un tubo pequeo de pasta mx-6 . Una vez instalado me ha bajado la temperatura del pc bastante y encima no hace nada de ruido. Yo por este precio que es super barato en comparacin con otros no me lo pensaba mucho. Lo que ms me gusta es el sistema de anclaje al disipador, ojal lo copiaran otras marcas.
    Lo recomiendo muchsimo, yo lo uso en un AMD 4.

    Artic il meglio, funziona benissimo! Silenzioso e dissipazione al top!
    Il dissipatore stato molto semplice da montare, viene fornito con un piccolo tubetto di pasta termica. Per procedere al montaggio necessario solo un normale cacciavite a croce, meglio se lungo, cos da stringere le viti di fissaggio con facilit.
    Io ho un 3400g, per me la capacit di dissipazione pi che sufficiente, da quando l’ho installato ho spinto tutto al massimo con perfetta stabilit. Consigliatissimo, soprattutto a 26 euro!

    UN MUST
    Se stai costruendo il tuo computer o devi sostituire il tuo vecchio dissipatore questo perfetto. Facile da installare, silenzioso ed economico. Compatibile con processori amd e intel. Le doppie ventole dissipano il calore veramente bene. Per il prezzo (pagata circa 25) super acquisto. Nella confezione gi presente pasta termica di alta qualit ( questa cosa fantastica!)

    Make sure your case is big enough
    I recently purchased an Intel I5-13500 processor that came with a HSF. After seeing how inadequate it was, I ordered this product as it got very good reviews.

    Installation is very simple and easy. For my Intel motherboard, I removed 4 screws and the CPU retention brackets and replace it with the included contact frame and screws. Then I attached the HSF to the contact frame with 2 screws (after applying the included thermal paste first) and I was done.

    This HSF is deceivingly small when you look at pictures of it but is massive after you install it. As seen in the included pictures, the height of the HSF just barely fits. With the fans installed, it dwarfs everything inside the case.

    Functionally, the fans are barely audible at low speed. Even when the fans ramp up under load, they are not bad. For reference, I have the case on the floor under my desk.

    This product gets a good buy rating from me.

    This product was easy to install and it maintains CPU temps really well. This not only works great but it is also looks great. It would be hard to get an air cooler that works as good as this at a better price.

    Top Kühlleistung und absolut leise.
    Fr mich ein Top Khler von ARCTIC. Der Freezer 36 ist sehr effizient in seiner Leistung. Man hrt in kaum und hlt meinen Ryzen 5 unter 40 Grad, egal ob Spiele laufen. Habe ihn schon 2 mal gekauft um meinen Nachbar auch eine gute Khlung am PC zu gewhren. Echt super dieser doppel Lfter und einfach zu installieren.

    Easy to install, keeps temps below 70C while gaming.
    Super easy to install using a contact frame provided for Intel lga 1700. Using with i5-13600kf and hasn’t gotten above 70c when gaming. When benchmarking 100% all cores it does reach 80c after 10 mins, incredible feat for an air cooler though.

    The price point is another aspect where the ARCTIC Freezer 36 shines. It offers excellent value for money, making it an accessible option for budget-conscious buyers looking for a reliable cooling solution.

    In summary, the ARCTIC Freezer 36 is a fantastic product that delivers on both performance and ease of use, all without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for an effective and affordable CPU cooler. Easy 5 stars all round.

    Very quiet and keep CPU cool !
    Bought it two weeks ago when was introduced for Ryzen 8600G. 28-35C on idle/browsing web with fan at 350-600RPM. While gaming CPU temp goes to max 52C and 900-1000RPM. This cooler is a bit overkill for Ryzen 8600G with 65W TDP, hence I can set lower RPMs even at 100% CPU/GPU utilization, and fan noise is barely noticeable.
