Tall RAM Heatsinks will not clear the first DIMM slot of some motherboards
92mm fan is built into the fan holder and cannot be replaced individually
The variety of heatsinks and fans is almost endless when you browse retailers like NCIX or Newegg. From opening the package where no scissors or knives were required to the push pins and two screw design, the Freezer 13 is downright easy to install. T...
Thermal compound pre-applied, came off when removing packaging, User manual doesn't have any text, Sub-par cooling, Some may not like the push-pin installation
Overall the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 is a small and easy to install CPU cooler. It’s hard to say whether the results that we found were accurate, since we had issues with the thermal compound on the base. While this cooler does have an easy push-pin i...

Overall, I'm really pleased with this cooler. It was easy to install and has given me some good scope for overclocking. It's nice and quiet and it strikes a good balance between size and usability. It has a very specific look which is going to be a matter...
Abstract: COLOR=#000000] AMD and Intel have worked hard over the years to produce CPUs with smaller dies, increased transistor counts and reduced power consumption. Despite these improvements TDP (thermal design power) for desktop CPUs has remained in the 60-80w r...
Plastic blister packaging is re sealable, Universal fitting, Low fan noise, Budget price, Excellently performing fan and tower, 18oC lower temperatures than Intel Cooler.
Plastic pushpins and plastic threaded tower mount screw holes may deteriorate and fail if remounting regularly, Pushpins prone to splaying, No fan options. Can't mount alternative fans or dual fans, Cheaper probably more durable options available.
With the majority of cases now coming with CPU cut outs in the motherboard tray, allowing the mounting and removal of CPU coolers in-situ, the attraction of push pin mounting without the need for a back plate is decreasing.With most CPU coolers that ...
Quality (30% of the total score) Quality wise, ARCTIC has always kept the standards high and the Freezer 13 is no exception. Considering it is a low-cost product, designed primarily for users requiring better performance over the noisy stock coolers, t...
