Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940) (FG-000-AR)

No problem.I have checked, i may stand corrected on this, but it's the same attachment as the "stock" coller i.e click and lock!


I'm ordering this this week and wil install it over the weekend. If you want to hang on, i can post the details here if it helps.

:)
 
Ok my Freezer 64 pro arrived this week (little late).

Got it out of the box and i amazed by the size of the beast.

Looking at the picture that Big.Wayne posted above, it does look a bit awkward for my Asus A8N mobo.

So i'm not really sure what to do now?


Interestingly enough, Custom PC have a range of CPU HSFs under test and these model is rated the top, without any mention of any space limitations etc.

Also, it noted that this HSF is not as easy to install as first suggested stating you may have to take out the mobo because of the mounting clip???

thoughts?

Ive had this cooler fitted to my Asrock Dual for a while now.

Good cooler and it is easy to install with mobo fitted, if you need clearance just move the PSU out of the way to get at the clips easier.

Also make sure fan is blowing backwards by moving clip arrangement (1 min job) if needed. :)

are you saying move the HSF so it blows air inwards? That would surely casue a contention within the gap between th CPU fan and the the case fan blowing air out? Refer to picture above.

Can't see how? That fan is over the top of the memory bank. I have this mobo, and the same HSF but have rfrained from installing it.

Also, the hot air blows right over that heat-pipe from the chipset. :eek:

Ahh an Asus A8N user with a AC freezer 64 .. now did you have to remove the mobo? .. and can you get to the memory modules ok?


Try using the Asus motherboard monitor which came with the motherbaord or from the Asus website.

that does look a bit tight tbh :eek:
 
Ok, i'm convinced. I have had a good look at this cooler and after reading a previous post here, I now realise the fan does come off pretty easily..

It's held on by 4 rubber dongle thingys which keep it suspended.. So getting to the memory mudules isn't that difficult after all. In fact, it must draw heat away from the memory.
 
All in place nicely.. my X2 4400+ has a lovely new Freexer 64 Pro!!


Was a bit fiddly trying to get it in but was ok.

Right, I've run both cores at 100% using F@H so the CPU is on full constant load. Using Asus probe, the CPU is static at 40 and the system is also static at 31..

Any good?

Hoping there is some headroom now for some good OC'ing..

As for noise, not really much different to be honest unless on of my case fans were louder in the first place in which case i wouldn't notice the difference anyway. My PC is quite quite anyway.

Happy days :)
