After the announcement of the new water cooler series, ARCTIC is now announcing the next product highlights - this time in the area of air cooling. For its 23rd anniversary, the manufacturer is still in a celebratory mood and is also bringing the Freezer 36 onto the market at special prices. With significantly increased performance and simplified assembly, the Freezer 36 not only outperforms its predecessor models but also holds its own against the competition.

Even more efficient ventilation is achieved thanks to the optimized heat sink with side-flow design. Two of ARCTIC's proven P-fans, known for their performance, are used in push-pull-configuration. The innovative click-fastening system enables quick and easy installation and fan replacement. For the upcoming LGA1851 and LGA1700 installation, the Freezer 36 uses a special contact frame that distributes the contact pressure evenly. This minimizes the mechanical stress on the CPU and motherboard and increases cooling performance.



Visually, the single-tower CPU cooler makes a strong impression in any PC build thanks to the screwed aluminium cover. A total of five different versions are available:
For purists, there is the standard model with a silver heatsink and copper heatpipes, a black version with a black heatsink, a CO version equipped with double ball bearings, and two illuminated versions in black and white with A-RGB fans.

Availability
The new Freezer 36 in all versions is now available at special prices in the ARCTIC online store, on eBay and Amazon:
  • Freezer 36: $25.40, regularly: $ 45.99
  • Freezer 36 CO: $/€27.71, regularly: $ 47.99
  • Freezer 36 (Black): $/€27.71, regularly: $ 51.99
  • Freezer 36 A-RGB (Black): $/€33.10, regularly: $ 58.99
  • Freezer 36 A-RGB (White): $ €33.87, regularly: $ 59.99

I don't see a second fan in any of the models, though...

I wish that we could get AMD/Intel cpu refresh that didnt need a contact frame to work properly. I rather jump to AM6 than have a poor cooling solution. If we could get rid of the 3 chipset solutions as well - I would be happy with a threadripper size desktop/gameing cpu.

They're even cheaper than listed, the cheapest one is 19.63, CO is 21.17 and the RGB (White) is 26.56. These prices are very nice, but the RGB commends a premium which is hard to motivate.
Comically the cheapest one is significantly cheaper than a fan of a competitor would cost.
Admittedly after watching GN review the prices should not go (like ever) above the mentioned prices else you should just buy Thermalright.

The Freezer 34s look so much better. I'm sure this performs similarly if not better but the 34 looked more premium than it actually is.

No way this perform better vs Dark rock 4pro
The DRP4 has mounting problems on LGA1700 and performs extremely poorly because of it.

Hardware Canucks went over it in their DRP5 review:

AMD doesn't require a contact frame.
