ARCTIC Freezer 36-S A-RGB White CPU Cooler - 120mm
The ARCTIC Freezer 36-S A-RGB White CPU Cooler is a 120mm single-tower air cooler built for PC builders who want reliable thermal management on Intel and AMD platforms without sacrificing aesthetics. It combines Direct Touch heatpipes, a staggered heatpipe layout, and a high-static-pressure P12 Pro PST fan to keep demanding workloads in check. The Contact Frame mounting system distributes pressure evenly across the CPU IHS, helping to prevent bending and maintain consistent contact over the long term.
Why this product
Direct Touch heatpipes for faster heat transfer
Copper heatpipes sit directly on the CPU IHS with no intermediate layer, reducing thermal resistance and lowering temperatures under load.
Contact Frame prevents CPU bending
Even mounting pressure across the socket protects the CPU from warping and ensures stable, low-resistance contact for the cooler's lifetime.
P12 Pro PST fan with wide speed range
The included fan runs from 600 to 3000 RPM and stops entirely below 5% duty cycle, keeping the system silent at low loads.
A-RGB lighting with 12 LEDs
A 3-Pin A-RGB connector lets the lighting sync with compatible motherboard headers, and a 3-Pin plug is also included for boards that need it.
6-year warranty with MX-7 thermal paste included
ARCTIC backs this cooler with a six-year warranty, and the box includes MX-7 thermal paste so installation can start straight away.
Tool-free fan clips for quick installation
Wire clips hold the fan firmly to the heatsink without tools, keeping it secure even if the system is moved or transported.

- Weight685 g
- BearingFluid Dynamic Bearing
- Warranty6 Years
- RGBA-RGB (12 LEDs)
- SocketsIntel LGA1851, LGA1700 / AMD AM5, AM4
- SKUARC-3963
- EAN4895265001017
- Intel LGA1851 socket
- Intel LGA1700 socket
- AMD AM5 socket
- AMD AM4 socket
- RAM clearance is listed as 0 mm — tall memory modules seated directly beside the cooler may conflict depending on case and board layout
- A-RGB lighting requires a 3-Pin A-RGB header on the motherboard or an included plug adapter; standard 4-Pin RGB headers are not compatible
Best for
- Mainstream desktop builders on Intel LGA1700/LGA1851 or AMD AM4/AM5 who want broad socket support in a single cooler.
- Quiet-focused builds where the fan's 0 dB stop mode below 5% duty cycle keeps the system silent during light tasks.
- Builders who want RGB without buying a separate lighting kit — 12 A-RGB LEDs and the necessary connector are included in the box.
- Long-term ownership — the 6-year warranty and Fluid Dynamic Bearing are aimed at buyers who want a cooler that lasts.
- Builders prioritising easy installation, since thermal paste, tool-free fan clips, and the Contact Frame mounting system are all included.
Trade-offs
- Builds with tall RAM — 0 mm rated RAM clearance means tall memory modules may not fit without adjustment.
- Compact or low-profile cases — at 156 mm tall and 685 g, this cooler requires a case with adequate CPU cooler height clearance.
- Older or non-listed Intel sockets — only LGA1700 and LGA1851 are supported; earlier platforms are not covered.
- Motherboards without an A-RGB header — the lighting connector is 3-Pin A-RGB and will not plug into a standard 4-Pin RGB header without an adapter.
Freezer 36-S A-RGB (White)
Multi Compatible Tower CPU Cooler
Stable Mounting for Long-Therm Stabillity
The Contact Frame provides even mounting pressure, prevents CPU bending, and ensures optimal contact for lower thermal resistance and reliable long-term stability.
Broad Future-Proof Compatibility
Compatible with Intel LGA1851, and LGA1700 sockets. Also supports AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms for maximum system flexibility.
Optimized Cooling with P12 Pro PST
High static pressure and precise airflow for maximum heat dissipation, especially on heatsinks. Engineered with performance headroom, it ensures reliable cooling under demanding workloads.
Secure and Quick Fan Mounting
The included wire clips provide a firm, stable fit on your cooler. The tool-free design keeps the fan securely in place, ensuring reliable positioning even during transport or system movement.
Even Distribution for Better Cooling
The staggered heatpipe layout ensures optimal heat transfer of the cooler to the fins, delivering uniform distribution and improved cooling performance.
Faster Cooling, Better Performance
Direct Touch heatpipes sit directly on the CPU IHS without any additional layers, ensuring faster heat transfer and lower temperatures.
