A bit noisy 50 mm blower
Availability
Preapplied thermal paste is a nuisance and only allows for one installation (Arctic has told me they plan on including a syringe of paste in future coolers)
To be honest, I’m thoroughly impressed by the performance of the Freezer 13. I haven’t seen a cooler this quiet with this kind of performance come through the lab in quite some time. I think the last cooler I tested that was this quiet was actually th...
First of all, I would like to thank ARCTIC for sending me this sample to review. The heatsink does bring some nice features to the table. For one, the additional 50 mm fan installed on top of the base is a good, thinking outside the box idea on how to h...
Abstract: A lot of people think it’s a little odd that I happen to be Hi Tech Legion’s “cooling guy”. I mean, really, cooling isn’t something people typically get overly excited about, but you need to understand some things. After my parents pitched me over the ...
Abstract: The Freezer 13 Pro looks like a big step up from the previous model, but according to Frostytech's heatsink reference charts it works out to a ~3°C drop in temperature at full fan speed. Noise output is maintained at a reasonably quiet level, in part ...
Looks like the number “13” is indeed an unlucky number for ARCTIC. After all how else could we explain such low cooling efficiency of their new ARCTIC Freezer 13 PRO cooler? Yes, its design has a few issues, such as non-optimal heatpipes layout inside...

50mm base fan, Quick installation, Affordable, Decent cooling
Very basic installation, Low packaging/material quality
Overall the Freezer 13 Pro is fairly simple to install, but there can be some clearance issues with this basic installation procedure. There’s only one way to install the cooler, at least for an AMD setup, of which most times can become a problem due t...

The Arctic Freezer 13 Pro has a very nice package of features. The Freezer 13 Pro did a better than adequate job cooling, fit easily into a mid-tower case, has one of the best installation systems I have used and comes in at low mainstream/high budget ...

A bit noisy 50 mm blower
Please click on thumbnails for bigger images The Arctic Freezer 13 Pro surprised me in terms of cooling performance vs price ratio. It has only one 120 mm fan and 50 mm blower at the top of the cooler base and it managed to be close to bigger and noi...
The Freezer 13 Pro draws attention. It has good looks, and also a unique feature that may intrigue most users: the small centrifugal fan over its base. The highlights of the Freezer 13 Pro are the easy installation and the low noise level; it is actual...
