ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler

[pantherx12]

NO it wont, I have used it.

I suggest The Xigmatek. I have a Xigmatek Thor's Hammer and the idle is 35C after Idling for hours and max load temp with 98% CPU usage is 49C.

AM2+ and AM3 are compatible cooler wise.

I've had 3, all worked a charm.

So I ordered the Xigmatek Dark Knight last Wednesday, from newegg of course along with some Artic Silver 5, and the thermal remover and purifier.

Came in today, and I realized just how freakin big this thing is. I have an Xclio A380BK Super Tower, and it didn't fit.

So I took an industrial drill to my side fan, the rear guard, and that didn't work. So I ghetto rigged it.

I grabbed some duct tape, and reverse mounted my fan on the outside of the case, with the duct tape, and it works fine.

My temps are down from: (all Celsius)

Ambient: ~70F

Idle:
-Stock: 39
-Dark: 32

100% Full Load:
-Stock: 58-60
-Dark: 45

So it was worth the money, and the rigging. I would recommend this cooler to anyone without a massive side fan.

Happy for you man! I'm actually waiting for mine. I guess I'll have to wait a couple of weeks more! Nail biting moments indeed haha!

 

[Exile_Chavez]

I hope you have space!

 

[assaulter_99]

It should fit in nicely since I have a large case.

 

[Exile_Chavez]

Has it arrived yet? I would like to know you system temp changes to compare

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

i have a Dark Knight it will let me 940 safely run up to 3800mhz pumping up to 1.55volts

AM2+ and AM3 are the same basic socket therefore any cooler that fits AM2 Am2+ will fit AM3

the Xigmatek Darknight is a great mid range cooler it will cool your cpu far better

the artic cooling Freezer 7 pro is good for dual cores tri and quads it cant handle the heat and it fails to do its job that simple

the 940BE puts out the same heat as a 955BE so if i can hit 3.8ghz and stay under 62'c core in a 90'f + room it will handle your cpu without issue again cant stress enough the Freezer 7 had its hay day in the time of overclocked dualcores for quads it just isnt up to snuff and can't even compete with stock AMD coolers for the Phenom II line

Nopes, shipping from the us to my country takes ages, maybe more 2 weeks of nail biting! Anyways, my temps aren't gonna be the same as yours since my cpu is a dual core but I'd gladly swap info with you!

 

[Exile_Chavez]

Mines actually a stock AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz AM3 125W Quad Black Edition, not quite a dual, temps would be way lower if it was
------------
Also update on temps(C)

Lowest with Stock: 34
Lowest with DK: 28

(100% load for 10 mins)
Highest with Stock: 58
Highest with DK: 45

Freezer 7 Pro works for socket 775 (LGA),
two its a bit archaic, i own one, get something HDT

 

[Exile_Chavez]

I actually ended up buying the Artic Silver 5, which is work quite well

more garbage...
I am running an AC Freezer with a 965 OCd to 4.04Ghz and here are my temps

Now its all fine and dandy if you guys like coolers that have 120mm fans and 2 X the surface area of the freezer but please quit bashing a perfectly good cooler if you dont really know what ur talking about

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

then your lucky dont know what to tell you sort of like CD i think it was in the PII overclocking thread where the stock amd cooler was getting ridiculously good temps i honestly dont see how your freezer 7 just slapped on is getting those temps and i dont see 3d mark as a good way to test for temps run LinX for 15 passes then get back to me at my 3600mhz oc gaming i never topped 52'c in my hot room linX id hit 63'c i wouldnt and you couldnt pay me to use a Freezer 7 on a quadcore

and so far its 2 users where the freezer 7 couldnt hold up in terms of temps im guessing since your the modding guru you have a few things tweaked in the case or you have a very low ambient temp

My ambient is 75F, and I havent tweaked anything except my freezer is painted (should make it hotter according to the goofballs on the internet). If your case cooling sucks than NO cooler wont work at its peak efficiency.

It has nothing to do with luck, I have sold hundreds of the Freezers just because its a very good cooler.
I have used one in almost every mod I have done and NEVER had a prob with temps ever.

There are other coolers that are quite a bit bigger with much more surface area and larger fans that cool better and thats fine, but there seem to be a lot of goofy people BASHING the Freezer.

If you guys want to say there are BETTER coolers , than fine but the freezer is a perfectly good cooler for 95% of comps...

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

as far as quads go i havent seen a freezer hold up except in YOUR rig so i dont know what to think

as far as cheap heatsinks go for the average user goes i really want to see what the

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...103065&cm_re=hyper_212-_-35-103-065-_-Product

Coolermaster hyper 212 can do at $30 it seems like a damn steal

 

[Makaveli]

I also want to see something other then 3dmark used to heat up the cores....

 

[ehume]

I have a Freezer Pro 7. It's nice enough for my non-OC machine, but I got a Megahalems for my OC rig. The FP7 just doesn't cool well enough for OCing.

Any of the towers - Mega, Venomous, etc. - will do fine for OCing, according to the various reviews I've seen.

 

[theonedub]

I also want to see something other then 3dmark used to heat up the cores....

+1, honestly I have used an AC7 before and my results couldnt be more different. I dont need to see if go through LinX but something a little more CPU intensive please

 

[MKmods]

Its not like I have time to play with you kids...but here it is after 11min while running Burn in test

I would be more inclined to kiss ur butts if any of you had made any contributions to comps other than spouting off stuff you read from other kids that also had little experience

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

hmm so your telling me that a 965 thats been heavily overclocked only saw a 3'c rise in temps im gonna call shenanigans try running actual LinX .64 and set it to max ram usage because in all honesty even at stock speeds i see higher temps then that running with the windows open and my room at 65'F when running it so at the end of this i have to call shenanigans either your Freezer 7 is one of a kind or its breaking heat barriers and eating them as a snack along the way because ive honestly never seen a freezer 7 perfrom that well on a quad

LOL you guys never learn, I dont know if Im special? (who the fu%k am I kidding I fricken rule)

But this is in a crappy tower case with no ex fans (other than the PS) and no intake fans either (my Crossflow SFF case is 3-5C cooler). Here it is at 4Ghz with "UR" program after 20 runs

Now I am not trying to say other coolers arent better or the freezer is the best made but Honestly 99% of Freezer owners are perfectly happy with their coolers, just because some goofballs dont know how to properly install a simple cooler or build a computer right thats no reason to slam a very good cooler

 

[newtekie1]

Oh man, I'm so glad MKMods was able to come in here and show us his "great" idle temps, otherwise we would have never known how fucking AWESOME the Freezer 7 Pro is!!! And don't anyone dare say differently! He did the same thing in the last thread about the Freezer 7, posted idle temps on a dual core 240 and tried to say because they were low that the cooler is amazing. He also went on to insult the OP because he has higher load temps, with a quad core 955, that the high temps must be due to user error, because he gets such great temps...

Stop spreading trash MKmods, you don't know what the hell you are talking about, the cooler sucks for anything beyond a dual-core, 45°C idle temps is nothing to be proud of!

And I love how your "load" tests actually have temps that are better than your initial idle temps, and you seem to think that is proof of something. BurnIn Test hardly loads the CPU, your lucky to see 55% CPU usage.

Why not do some real load testing and watch the cooler fail?

Just to give everyone an idea:

IdleTemps:

MKmods' "load" temps:

Real load temps:

Most of us will notice the difference, MKmods...not so much...

But yeah, I'm soooo glad that MKmods came in here and set us all straight with his "correct" information about how great the cooler is, and he also managed to do it in a nice civil manor, not being insulting in any way, he really has made a great addition to this thread.

 

[Polaris573]

Please calm down and behave civilly. There is no reason to insult each other because you disagree on the performance of a CPU cooler.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yes sir mister moderator sir

 

[MKmods]

yep my 965 and Freezer arent quite up to your Xeon and thermalright cooler...

Oh wait thats right the OP has a 955 that is OCd and dosent want to spend $60+ on a cooler....
