When the original ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro was first doing the rounds, AIO liquid coolers didn’t even exist, and even heatpipe-equipped heatsinks were still relatively new. The original Freezer 7 Pro was great, offering decent cooling for under $20, and enabling people to bin their CPU’s stock cooler and get lower noise levels and better cooling. Can its replacement, the new ARCTIC Freezer 7 X, repeat this achievement? I’ve put it to the test to find out.
At $22.99, the ARCTIC Freezer 7 X is slightly more expensive than the original Freezer 7 Pro, but not by much, and that’s still an amazing price for a third-party CPU cooler if it can deliver. We’re not expecting it to be the best CPU cooler ever, but if this cheap cooler it can perform significantly better than a stock cooler, while remaining quiet, then it will have achieved its aims.
