ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports - Tower CPU Cooler with BioniX P-series case fan, 120 mm PWM fan, for Intel and AMD socket, for CPUs up to 200 Watts TDP - Green

Just follow the instructions and you will be fine!I've upgraded to LGA 1700 socket and found out that my ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO didn't fit onto my CPU so bought this which came the next day and only a few minutes to install and it was ready to go.Please bear in mind the CPU Cooler may be a bit smaller than the 12th Gen CPU itself but it's fine, just make sure you do a "Pea size" method for the thermal paste and it will spread evenly.

This is going to keep your processor cool all day long and through the night. I have a Ryzen 2600 and you be lucky to hit 60c at full load my system idles at 25c at stock speed, can take it to 4.2ghz without any issues if required, even then it's in the mid-30s temp wise at idle, loads of headroom for overclocking. Just make sure you install the cooler outside the case or yes it will be a nightmare. I am not that brave. Not tried it with a Ryzen 3600 though I hear the die on the processor is smaller so it will naturally run hotter anyway, that's just physics doesn't matter what cooler you use.

The Arctic Freezer guys have been making cheap, Great quality, functioning CPU coolers for some time now.I used this to replace an Arctic Cooler 12 which was in perfect working order.The Arctic Freezer 34 DUO eSports is pretty straight forward to install considering the size of it, and the fans have a quick release system in place (Some people like it, some don't).I have this installed on an ASUS Z370-F Strix Board with an i7 8086K and 32 GB G-Skill 3200MHz DDR4 ram.There are NO ram clearance issues, and it fits just fine.My CPU temps have stayed at 61° or lower whilst multitasking, playing games, watching livestreams, Playing Music, having a browser open and Photo editing in Adobe PhotoShop (all at the same time) on a 43" 4K panel.As it stands, I have to give it 5/5 for its functionality alone in MY system.Word of advice.....I personally, have always purchased Thermal Compound paste separately. It does come with a small sachet, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Upgraded my processor to a faster i7 from a slower (and older generation) i5.I found it quite easy to install (a touch fiddly as I didn't take the MB out of the case first and had to do some removals & replacements to get the clips on). Harder if you have fat fingers.CPU temp is showing 5C lower than old stock cooler under load.They look very cool as well and, despite the size and double fans, are very quiet.One word of warning: when I installed them originally, I put them horizontally (exhaust to top of case). The top fan's tight tolerance made it scrape on the heatsink (noisy), so I changed it to rear facing to vent out of the back of the case - much better and dropped a degree as well.Recommended.

Bought this to replace a stock AMD Ryzen 3600 cooler, the installation was relatively straight forward, though will be even easier if you are building outside of the case.My previous idle temps were around 70-75c under low load with the stock AMD cooler now I'm averaging 50-55c and I hadn't even realised how noisy the stock fan was, in comparison this 2 fan unit is MUCH quieter.It is fairly big unit so check and double-check you have space for it in your case.Very happy overall.

Quality product as always from Arctic. Its that quiet I keep looking at it to see if the fan is spinning! Keeps the cpu nice and cool, around 55 degrees under load and 40-45 idle. Fairly simple to install too, with fittings for both AMD and Intel.Took 1 star off the installation bit as there are 3 different stand off sizes and it's not obvious which ones you need. Tip - for AM4, it's the smallest ones. Can highly recommend this cooler.

I wasn't really happy with the stock cooler on my Ryzen 7 3700X, when working 4k videos using handbrake the temperature would always hit 70°C and there would be a noticeable whine kicking in an out during heavier loads.Using this cooler the temps hover around 65°C on heavy transcoding work, and remains more or less silent, even at top fan speeds the sound is not annoying. Good solid cooling.Chose green for the price!Relevant system details:Motherboard: Aorus x570 ProCase: Cooler Master CM 690 iii

Early days but happy so far. Installation fairly straightforward (mobo outside the case, if not unnecessary grief!). Keeps the Ryzen 3600x at a reasonable 65c when playing games and noise level is acceptable. if you are on a budget and looking for a decent cooler, it should be on your shortlist
