Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme rev.2 on Core i5

more at http://rigelt.blogspot.com/2009/11/intel-core-i5-cpu-cooling.html Listen to the difference: Freezer Xtreme vs. intel i5 750 stock cooler.
But remember: first identify the true noise source in your PC - it's not always the cpu cooler! (the GTX275 was quiet during recording). Same boxed cooler as on i7 btw.

Can this thing cool the motherboard too at same time

[uiaiui]

@1Susanoo / nope it can't cool down the motherboard at the same time, because there is no airflow directed towards the board.

@uiaiui not impossible, using liquid nitrogen cools it down to -40°C lol

i got ths 2 so very silent

I used this cooler on my I5 750 for about 3 months and was far from happy with it. For such a large cooler, it doesn't perform very well (btw I reseated it several times and reapplied the TIM with no luck). Finally I got an H50 (still a rather low-end cooler), but the H50 gives me 10ºC better temps for roughly the same price...

Read some legit reviews before buying! The fan IS quiet but has very low cfm, probably why it doesn't cool well. Arctic cooling really needs to step up their game...

Why are all CPU coolers so gigantic?

@maffin006 Mine is even 80c haha, i have to re-seat it by someone else i clearly fucked it up.. oh and that's 3,7ghz full load, i even did 4ghz and it went to 101c haha im lucky it didn't blew up.

@uiaiui

of course its impossible



[linuxpowerification]

the intel cooler is garbage

[uiaiui]

@maffin006 46°C at full load, that's simply impossible - btw - my focus is on quiet systems, because that raises my productivity more than a cool cpu. All fans and profiles set to silent.
