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

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....

I also happened to take a look at your case setup, my temps drop a good 20°C+ if I remove the side panel and take the computer from under the desk, stopping the GTX285 from folding would have helped temps also, hell they'll drop 5°C if I just clean out the fan filters.

The freezer doesn't work well in real world situations with a quad, it just doesn't. It can give decent temps on dual-core processors, but quads inside of a closed case it fails, temps easily hit 75°C+ which is unacceptable.

I had a Freezer 7, works great on my E6600, but when I put the Q6600 in there, it would hit 80°C very quickly.

First you post idle temps as proof, then you post load temps in a wide open case as proof. Sorry, but you have failed to make a valid argument to show the Freezer 7 is worth wasting money on. The fact that you start out in both threads by insulting people probably doesn't help your argument much either...

And if you paid attention, which I know is hard because you are so awesome that you can't read anyone elses posts but your own, the first alternative is not only better than the Freezer 7, but also cheaper...I know impossible, right. The Xigmatek coolers are also cheaper, and better, the DK is $10 more but spanks the Freezer 7.

not only does the DK at $10 more spank it the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ destorys it at $5 LESS

Yep, which but you'll never convince him of it. You need a $60 cooler to outperform a Freezer 7...

I'm not really going to argue about it anymore, it is pretty obvious he's wrong, but oh well...

This is getting quite boring but I will try one more time,,,How about we focus on the OP, he has a AMD 955.. Not an INTEL anything.

I posted the LinX bench because crazyeyesreaper asked for it. And when you whined I posted your bench.

Those are load temps at 4.04ghz(my idle temps are in the low 30C range at 3.4 and upper 30C range OCd to 4.04(like the OP said he was looking for a cooler to do) Except for yuor bench I used stock as i forgot to OC the cpu, but since the OP was using a stock CPU and not OCing I figured it was closer to what he had.

I have never said the freezer was the Ultimate cooler, as a matter of fact I have said many times there are better coolers. What I said was I was tired of silly people (like those who create threads asking what PS to use for their own comps, sound familiar?) Bashing a perfectly good cooler.

in the OTHER thread you also attacked me for the same thing when I was using a AMD250 Dual core, so I went out and bought a AMD 965 Quad just to make sure you were wrong. Rather than quote stuff you personally make up in ur own mind I went out and bought a CPU to make sure and guess what ur wrong.

So Im not really sure you feel the need to follow me around and whine and attack me but honestly google yourself and google me, who would you rather get advice from?

Newtekie and MKmods. It appears there is nothing more that either of you can constructively add to this thread. I encourage you both to drop the subject and leave each other alone. Do not let me find you following each other to different threads in order to pick apart everything the other says either. This kind of drama may entertaining and of the utmost importance to you, but I assure you that to everyone else it is merely tedious.

You have both posted your temperature results. Let everyone else decided who is "right".

 

[newtekie1]

So Im not really sure you feel the need to follow me around and whine and attack me but honestly google yourself and google me, who would you rather get advice from?

Seriously, WTF are you talking about?

1.) I'd like you to show some proof of me "following" you around. The only two threads I've been in a discussion with you has been this one and the other one on the Freezer 7. In the first thread, I barely responded to you in my first post, yet you were already insulting other member and posting BS information. And in this thread I posted first, so how am I following you around? Seriously, I want to know how you came to that conclusion.

2.) I could give a shit who has more google hits, your ability to create decent computer mods and the reputation it has given you has nothing to do your knowledge on this subject. There have been a few very knowledgeable people that have agreed with me in both threads, and you seem to be the only one that agrees with you and you can't even do it without insulting everyone.

Yes, I know Polaris, I'll probably get an infraction for this post. But seriously, if you are going to continue to allow him to post completely useless posts, filled with insults, direct personal attacks, and lies, it only seems fair to allow me, in a relatively civil way, to at least make him own up with some proof to back it up. Obviously you don't mind the uncivil behavior, because you didn't even bother to delete the completely flamebait post, or at least get rid of the insults and flaiming. Sorry, I've been rather civil with this, especially compared to him I think you'll agree, but if you are just going to leave it on an insult from him, I'm going to respond.

 

[Polaris573]

Okay now you both have gotten your chance to childishly "get the last word". Neither of you post in this thread again. Like I said before neither of you have anything constructive or useful to add.

If you have any comments on what I have done do not post it in somebody's thread. That is not on topic and does not help anybody, especially me. There is a PM system for a reason.

 

[MKmods]

lol, by the way what cpu cooler do you use Polaris573?

 

[overclocking101]

i would get a Xigmatek or a like wise heat pipe direct touch cooler, they are cheap and work much better

 

[Polaris573]

lol, by the way what cpu cooler do you use Polaris573?
(that has a lot to do with this thread, like the rest of the posts I made)

Didn't I ask you not to post in this thread again? Be good or I'll ban you for a week.

To answer your question, I have an Arctic Freezer 7. I'm quite happy with it, but I don't have a quad core processor. I did get it from a friend that was using it on his Q6600. He got rid of it because it didn't give him the overclocking headroom he wanted. I haven't done cooler research in a few years so I'm not going to comment on whether it's still competitive with the other coolers in its price bracket. It's a competent cooler for quad core owners who aren't doing any serious overclocking, it's definitely better than a stock cooler. For dual core owners it's still a very good budget cooler, but I have to re-emphasize that I don't know if there are slightly better coolers in the $25-$35 price bracket.

I have an i7 860. I use an AC FP7 Pro with it. It works just fine . . . but I dare not overclock it. Even with AUTO voltages, it gets warm as the BCLK get up around 170MHz.

I have a Megahalems waiting for the system I am going to overclock. If I had waited a bit I would have gotten a Noctua D14 and used 2 GT 1850's with a Kaze Maru 1900 in the middle. More expensive, but . . . heck, I still may do it.

My point I love my AC FP7 Pro, but it does have its limits - at least in the systems I can build. I am sure there are some people who are complete wizards with thermal paste, but I am not one of them.

I've had 3, all worked a charm.

I have been disappointed with the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro's (I own 3 of them). I have moved on to this model from Coolermaster. It's a 120mm model and is cheaper at this moment. Works better than my Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer also.

Its a basic after market cooler, should take you down to 25-28c idle, depends on your ambient temperature.

Not with an ambient temp of 21C if the ambient temp was like 15C it might go that low.
