Its push-pull configuration with two 120mm fans and ARCTIC Contact Frame make it a practical choice for anyone upgrading from a stock cooler or building a quiet, long-lasting system. Compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms, it ships with MX-6 thermal compound and carries a 6-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePush-pull cooling with two 120mm fans\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two P12 PWM PST pressure-optimised fans work together in a push-pull arrangement, drawing air through the heatsink for more consistent airflow than a single-fan setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Frame reduces CPU mechanical stress\u003c\/strong\u003e — The ARCTIC Contact Frame replaces Intel's Independent Loading Mechanism, which can exert over 40 kg of force on the CPU.

The soldered ends of the heatpipes are concealed by the screwed aluminium cover, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any PC setup and highlight both performance and appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Freezer 36 is multi-compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will release the new Arrow Lake processors on the LGA1851 socket in the future. We guarantee full compatibility. All Freezer 36 can be used with the new LGA1851 socket from Intel without limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the innovative mounting system, booth fans are effortlessly mounted in the heatsink using a click system. This mounting method eliminates the need for fan clips, making it easier to install the cooler or replace the fans, even if the cooler is already installed. The Freezer 36 is therefore compatible with most 120 mm fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntel's Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kg. This causes pressure in the PCB, the DIE and the solder layer between the DIE and IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). With high thermal load, this can lead to long-term problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mounting frame from ARCTIC does not deform the CPU, reduces the mechanical load on the CPU massively, is quick and easy to install and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the CPU's backplate. As a result, mechanical stress on the mainboard and CPU is minimised, cooling performance remains consistent and installation is quick and uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to a combination of alloy and lubricant developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is minimised and greater efficiency is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Freezer 36 is available in five different versions, all equipped with two fans in a push-pull configuration. In addition to the standard model with aluminium heatsink design, a version with a black heatsink is also available. For continuous operation, there is also the CO version, which is equipped with fans with double ball bearings. Alternatively, users can choose between a black and a white version with A-RGB fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo ensure the longevity of our products, we carry out long-term tests under different, sometimes very adverse conditions. In this way, we learn how we can permanently improve our products for our customers.
