Air Cooler Arctic Freezer 36-S

ARCTIC Freezer 36-S CPU Cooler

The ARCTIC Freezer 36-S is a tower-style air CPU cooler designed for modern desktop processors and gaming PC configurations. It combines four 6mm heat pipes with an aluminium heatsink to transfer heat away from the processor and distribute it across the cooling surface. The cooler is equipped with a single 120mm fan, operating at adjustable speeds between 200 and 1800 RPM to adapt to different workloads. Its black finish provides a clean, understated appearance that fits a wide range of PC builds. With its straightforward air-cooling design, the Freezer 36-S offers an alternative to liquid cooling systems for users looking to equip their desktop with a dedicated CPU cooling solution.

Four Heat Pipes and Aluminium Heatsink

At the centre of the ARCTIC Freezer 36-S cooling system are four 6mm heat pipes, which transfer heat from the CPU to the aluminium heatsink. The heatsink provides a surface for dissipating the transferred heat, supporting the cooler's operation during everyday computing and demanding workloads. Its aluminium construction combines effective heat dissipation with a practical overall design. With a total weight of 890g, the Freezer 36-S has a substantial tower-style construction while maintaining dimensions suitable for a variety of desktop configurations. The combination of four heat pipes and an aluminium heatsink forms the main cooling structure, working together with the included fan to move heat away from the processor.

120mm PWM Cooling Fan

The cooler includes a 120mm fan with an operating speed range of 200–1800 RPM. It uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing and connects through a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing compatible motherboards to regulate fan speed according to system requirements. The fan provides airflow of up to 56.3 CFM and static pressure of 2.2 mmH₂O, helping move air through the heatsink. Its specified noise level is up to 0.4 Sone. This combination of adjustable fan speed, airflow and static pressure supports the cooling system across different workloads, while PWM control provides flexibility for users who want their motherboard to manage fan operation automatically.

Intel and AMD Socket Compatibility

The ARCTIC Freezer 36-S supports selected desktop platforms from both Intel and AMD. Its confirmed socket compatibility includes Intel LGA 1851 and LGA 1700, together with AMD AM5 and AM4. This makes it suitable for a range of PC configurations using compatible processors and motherboards. Whether you are assembling a new gaming PC or upgrading the cooling in an existing desktop, checking socket compatibility is an important step before purchasing. You should also verify the physical clearance available inside your case, particularly the maximum supported CPU cooler height, to ensure the tower-style heatsink can be installed correctly.

Dimensions and Black Design

Finished in black, the ARCTIC Freezer 36-S has a simple design that can complement a variety of gaming PC and desktop builds. Its dimensions are 104 x 126 x 159mm, with a total weight of 890g. The cooler's height of 159mm is particularly important when checking compatibility with your PC case, as different chassis models support different maximum CPU cooler heights. Its tower-style layout combines the aluminium heatsink, four heat pipes and 120mm fan into one air-cooling assembly. For a straightforward installation, check your case specifications and motherboard socket support before selecting the Freezer 36-S for your system.
