It is only loud because it is spinning at full speed!
os:
Windows XPFor those who say the fan on this cooler is loud its because they have the fan speed at its max of 2500RPM which it is set to at default. The majority of fans at this speed will sound very loud.
The fan doesnt need to spin this fast to cool the heatsink and dissipitate hot air efficiently. It can still do this at slower speeds.
Go into your motherboards bios and under health monitor change the profile of the fan speed to "Silent". This will make the fan spin at 800-900RPM and will definitly not be heard inside the case!!
Its a brilliant budget cooler that can cool overclocked processors! Simple as! Someone say this review isn't helpful i dare ya!
Give it time to perform!!!!!!
i feel i need to mention a statement from the Arctic Cool website regarding this cooler.....
Thermal Compound
We ship our coolers with the ARCTIC MX-1 thermal compound. This compound hardens during the first 200h while the performance improves steadily. With heating up the paste / heatsink the process can be shortened. The performance is even from the beginning good enough to cool your CPU reliable.
the cooling power will get better as the cooling compound paste hardens.
Amazing cooler for the money

Not ApplicableNot sure what the other 2 reviewers had at the time of writing, but this there is no competition for this HSF as far as I'm concerned!
I'm running a Pentium D 805 overclocked from 2.6 to 3.6Ghz, this chip should be pretty hot by any means. But at the moment idle in windows it's still only 45C degrees. To be fair I have 3x120 fans in my case (NZXT Lexa, 107969), but I'm still impressed by what it can do. At full speed it runs at 2800rpm, low speed 800-900rpm and almost completely silent.
Unless you need watercooling, don't waste your money on anything more expensive.
Fantastic!

Windows XPOK I just thought I would pop back to make a proper review. First things first this cooler has a swivel action from side to side. This is usefull because if you have a Northbridge chip and the HSF is in the way you can tilt the Arctic Freezer sideways to add some clearance (PSU next to motherboard permitting).
Otherwise it means a little modifying of the Arctic which is just a plastic corner and a bend up of the bottom fin slightly.
The other thing is the amount of thermal paste is overkill. But you know what? I used it anyhow. I think I have a concave CPU heat plate so I allowed that to fill it as my stock cooler was running too hot no matter what I did with the paste (Used AS5 and still not good).
Step 1. Take the fan off (Plastic clips either side of the heatsink. Do NOT try to pull of the rubber gromit corners!)
When installing make sure you twist the pegs clockwise and make sure they are all the way up. Turn the fan to face the FRONT of the computer (Facing towards the memory chips). The fan blows air in towards the heatsink and the hot air should exhaust towards the rear of the case and out the back fan (If you have one).
Line the pegs up with the holes and allow the entire assembly to drop down onto the CPU. Once you are SURE all the pegs are in the holes of the motherboard press down each peg one at a time holding the metal brace underneath each clip. This makes it easier than just a straight push down. You should hear a nice click on each peg as they take hold. If not check your seating. It is also very important not to move the thing around on top of the CPU if you can help it.
Once firmly down put the fan back on, plug in the fan power connector to the motherboard and you are good to go.
Bootup to your BIOS and turn Q-Fan off if enabled. Save and boot into Windows (Assumimg you use it) and grab a copy of Speedfan as linked in previous comment. Check your temps. They should be much better than with the stock cooler. I can idle at 34c with all my case fans set to 5v and the Arctic Freezer set to 40% speed in Speedfan. My PC is *WHISPER* quiet.
Great fan!
To reply to question about will it run on a q6600 quad core
Yes it is able to be used with the Q6600, should run nicely with a 6600 with go stepping reduced wattage, as these run cooler already, you'll get a further boost with those and the freezer pro combined!
Nice.
If this is used with the P5N-E SLI 650i board...
os:
Not ApplicableIf you are planning to use the artic cooler CPU fan and heatsink, beware as the northbridge cooler of the board (P5N-E SLI 650i ) obstructs the heatsink and fan from being properly installed.
What i had to do was saw off a small part of the corner of the plastic bit and bend the bottom aluminium fin to fit it. Now it fits properly!
Arctic Cooling (AC-FRZ-7P) Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 CPU Cooler

Windows XPyes. this fan is rather loud while the cpu is under load. but overall added a few more years onto my cpu. perfectif your not bothered about the noise likle am im. but if your someone that likes quiet coolers. i would advise looking for another. overall
i rate this cooler 8/10
pros :- 6 heat pipes for transfering heats into the fins.
huge fan for gettin rid of the heat conducted.
cons :- large and for loud while cpu is under load
Imense

Windows XPIgnore all the bad reviews about this cooler and take the leap! Cools my Pentium D805 from the stock 2.66ghz to 3.65 stable at 47c!!! This is cooler than the reference intel at stock speeds!
Install was relatively easy as you dont need to fit a backing bracket, although its impossible to fit with your board still in the case.
I'd give 10 stars if i could.
5 Star Fan
os:
Windows XPPlain and simple, you don't need any other fan. The only thing to bear in mind is that this thing is huge, I originally bought it for a barebones system, not a chance...
It keeps my P4 3GhZ idleing at around 32*C and is as silent as a silent thing on silent on a silent day.
Some reviews mention not being able to fit while the MB is mounted? I found it tedious but deffinatly easier... Simply push the 4 plastic mounting pins into the screw holes and turn them. Job done!
Pleased customer

Not ApplicableI have been interested in lessening the roar of my computer's fans for some time. I have fitted one of these today and I am very pleased with it. It wasn't much trouble to fit and it's vastly quieter than the fan that came with the CPU.
I would highly recommend it and I wish I had bought one of these earlier.
