With its push-pull configuration, the Freezer 36 impresses not only with its efficient cooling performance but also with its design. The soldered ends of the heat pipes are hidden under a screw-on aluminum cover, allowing it to seamlessly fit into any PC configuration while accentuating both performance and aesthetics. Internal tests have shown that the Freezer 36 offers significant improvements over its predecessors, the Freezer 35 and the popular Freezer 34 eSports DUO, as well as compared to competitors' coolers. With simplified installation and enhanced performance, it is suitable for beginners and also provides an upgrade option. The tests were conducted in the HK lab, with all coolers running at full speed. The Freezer 36 is compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will be releasing Arrow Lake processors for the LGA1851 socket in the future. Arctic customers need not worry about these processors requiring new coolers, as full compatibility is guaranteed. All Freezer 36 models can be used without restriction with Intel's LGA1851 socket. Thanks to an innovative mounting system, case fans can be easily attached to the heatsink using a snap-in system. This mounting method eliminates the need for fan clips and simplifies the installation of the cooler or the replacement of fans, even when the cooler is already installed. Therefore, the Freezer 36 is compatible with most 120mm fans.

The cheapest cooler in this round has only four heatpipes and one of the smallest heat sinks, but it is on a par with the rest of the field in terms of cooling performance in our test course and remains very quiet for a long time. The two fans are clicked into the front and rear of the cooler without clamps and maintain a PWM of less than 5 per cent...
