Arctic Cooling Releases Freezer 64 LP
Arctic cooling, well known for its CPU and GPU heatsinks, has officially launched the Freezer 64 LP (Low Profile).
Arctic cooling states that it is a "Ultra high performance dual fan AMD CPU cooler for low profile PC".The design of Freezer 64 LP ultra high performance dual fan achieves the ultimate cooling effect that dramatically cools the AMD CPU even inside a tiny chassis. Freezer 64 LP's 2 vertical cooling fans draw a large amount of cold air from both sides that cool the CPU fast and effectively. 3 copper heat pipes directly connected from the CPU core transfer heat out of the core rapidly.
Features:
The recommended retail price (excl. VAT) is 24 USD / 20 EUR. The heatsink is compatible with all AMD Sempron, Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2 Athlon 64 FX and AMD Opteron (Socket 939 and AM2) CPUs.

nice design tho, cant wait to see it reviewed :D
The cooler really SHOULD push/pull. The cooling is optimised with a wind baffle to case openings.
@ashen. I dont doubt your experience. In a large case without "managed" airflow... your experience could be correct.
But if PROPERLY DESIGNED... the cooler is integral to the case and air flow management. Push/Pull IS the optimal solution.

In practice you will find many suboptimal cooling arrangements due to limited availability of fans. This about the Artic cooling fans. They need to design a fan that spins in the opposite direction optimised for sucking not pushing. Then they need to make it. And low volumes. = very expensive.
So design and manufacturing contraints usually lead to non-optimised solutions
