Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB White CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look

This cooler is quite interesting, as the fans are mounted in a really clever way. They’re the Arctic P-Fans, which I know are really great fans. Plus, they come with built-inn ARGB lighting, which I know a lot of people really like on their coolers.

You’ll notice the screws are already in the fan, but the fan isn’t installed on the heatsink, that’s weird right?

The fans actually just push-fit into some little circle clips on the heatsink tower, tool-free, just push it on, it clicks into place and you’re done.

This makes it so easy to install them, remove them for cleaning, or to change the airflow direction should you have the need to.

The cooling fans come with PWM pass-through cables so you can daisy chain them easily, and there’s the RGB connector too.

The cooling tower looks great, with densely packed thick fins that feel very durable and don’t bend at the slightest touch like many cheap coolers do. There’s a thick anti-vibration rubber strip down the sides too.

The fins all have rounded spikes on them too, increasing the surface area of their edges, and this is going to help break up the air and slow it down as it passes through the tower, allowing it to pick up more heat before it is exhausted.

This newer version of their air cooler also has open sides, so it can pull in even more airflow to improve the cooling performance.

The top plate looks gorgeous, with four screws holding the plate down, and this hides the top fins and the ends of the heatpipes and is treated with a chrome finish Arctic logo which I think looks pretty smart.

On the bottom of the cooler, you’ll find four thick heatpipes, with a direct copper contact for the CPU, a basic, but pretty effective solution.

Clip the fans in place and we’re ready to rock!
