Wah, didn't know this thing existed. Is it any good though? I'm looking to change my Freezer 7 Pro. Looks bloody massive.

i don't know how good it is, i saw it on a diefferent site i was looking for a good cooler for mine, so posted the link to the companies site instead of a competitors site as OverClockers don't seem to have it.

but it does look good.

anyone has http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=162&disc= or similar, are they good coolers??

Its been on the cards for over 1 year and keep getting put back for some reason, its now put back again and will be hopefully end of this month (I think its Sep or Oct). :confused:
 
The freezer extreme is supposed to be the better of the two.
I read somewhere that it is supposed to compete with the tuniq tower, as well it kinda of looks like it and kinda same spec.
But like the arctic freezer 7 it is meant to be a decent budget cooler.
 
I've just read that the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM is only good with CPU's upto the AMD Athlon 64 X2 - up to 5000+, But i'm using the AMD Athlon 6400+, so i guess i'm going to need something better than that one. hopefully the xtreme will be here soon and good enough.

Yip that cooler is too small, I used the Freezer64 on a AMD 6000+ at launch and it ran hotter than I would like at idle which meant the 90mm fan had to run 100% all the time and they are a bit noisy.

You want 120mm cooling today IMO esp if you OC.

so the freezer xtreme would be a good cooler for it then?

For your hot CPU any good 120mm cooler like a True 120 / Tuniq or Noctua will do the job.

i think any non-stock cooler will be better than my current one is. i'm still using the stock cooler from my AMD athlon 3200+ single core.
so i think i will go with the freezer Xtreme when it finally arives in some online stores.
 
I would not use stock with a AMD6000+ or above, and after that 1 build for a customer with the Freezer64 it was only 120mm Coolers.

Now I use Intel anyhow as I don't like the Mobos for the AMD now after the 590I NF's.
