With the push-pull configuration, the 36 CO cooler not only impresses with its efficient cooling performance but also with its design. The soldered ends of the heat pipes are hidden by the screwed aluminum cover, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any computer setup and showcase both performance and appearance.

Intel tested and confirmed the Freezer 36 on the i9-13900K/KF, i9-14900K/KF, and i9-13900KS in the Enthusiast and Desktop categories. In these tests, Intel examined both the contact frame placement and the cooler's performance.

The Freezer 36 CO is highly compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will release the new Arrow Lake processors in the LGA1851 socket in the future. ARCTIC customers do not need to worry that the new processors will require new coolers. We guarantee full compatibility. All Freezer 36 models can be used with Intel's new LGA1851 socket without any limitations.

Thanks to the innovative mounting system, chamber fans are effortlessly mounted onto the heatsink with 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 CO is therefore compatible with most 120 mm fans.

The independent loading mechanism (ILM) of Intel deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kilograms. This causes stress on the board, the DIE, and the solder layer between the DIE and the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). With high thermal load, this can lead to long-term problems. The mounting frame from ARCTIC does not deform the CPU, massively reduces the mechanical load on the CPU, is quick and easy to install, and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the backplate of the CPU. As a result, the mechanical strain on the motherboard and CPU is minimized, cooling performance remains stable, and installation is quick and simple.

Both fans of the Freezer 36 CO are equipped with two Japanese bearings. This makes these fans particularly durable and resistant to external forces such as heat, dust, and vibrations. Therefore, this variant is the ideal choice for 24/7 operation.

The heatsink fins are open on the side and allow the pull fan to draw additional cool air from the computer case through the heatsink. This side flow design achieves even more efficient ventilation.

ARCTIC relies on the proven P fans, which are known for their strong performance. The P series is particularly suitable for use in heatsinks and radiators. Due to the dense structure of the heatsink fins, the fans used achieve significantly better performance than fans designed for airflow thanks to their high static pressure.
