Today we are getting a look at the newest offering from Arctic Cooling, the Freezer 13 Pro. The Freezer 13 Pro is the newest incarnation of the ever popular Freezer Line from Arctic Cooling. Join us to see how it stacks up against coolers like the Zalman CNPS 9900 Max.

The Freezer 13 Pro is a high-end CPU cooler from Arctic Cooler, with a tower heatsink, 120 mm fan and four 8-mm U-shape heatpipes. Let's check it!

Canada -- the country full of ice. We live in igloos made from blocks of snow, ride dog sleighs to work, and, as bad as weather may seem, winter takes up almost twelve out of the twelve months of the year. There are a few months in between filled with surprising weather where you can't predict when will happen the next day, and such variable patterns are especially true here at APH Networks Calgary. For those who live in this city, you will know what I am talking about. Generally speaking, we can safely say that Canada might as well be the cold Arctic in the north with strange weather patterns. So how is technology able to survive in such a country? Well, while our awesome weather can provide natural phase change cooling for pretty much anything and everything, I don't think electronics would appreciate all the snow, and neither would I appreciate sitting in the snow all day. After all, it is much more comfortable in my igloo. Being a Canadian citizen for quite a number of years now, there is a company that always easily pops into my mind when it comes to CPU cooling, and that is Arctic Cooling. Not 'arctic cooling' as in opening my window, but actually Arctic Cooling, the company. (Take that, global warming!) Let me remind you that not too long ago, we have reviewed one of Arctic Cooling's heatsinks -- specifically, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13. Today, what we have next to it is its bigger brother, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro. I don't know about you, but as for myself, I always have a tendency of fighting with my younger brother over things, especially when we were young. But being the older one myself, in a completely unbiased and objective manner, it is usually the bigger brother who's better at these things. Therefore, as this logic carries forward in our review today, the question to ask is not whether the bigger Freezer 13 Pro is better than the little Freezer 13. The question to ask is how much better is the Freezer 13 Pro. Read on to find out what we have found!

Im Gegensatz zum Vorgänger, dem Freezer 7 Pro Revision 2 zeigt sich der neue Freezer 13 wesentlich korpulenter.
Außerdem hat der Hersteller Arctic Cooling seinem neusten Freezer-Modell eine Heatpipe mehr spendiert.
Statt den beim Freezer 7 Pro vorhandenen drei Heatpipes, finden sich am Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 vier Heatpipes und auf dem neuen Freezer 13 werkelt wie beim Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 ein 92mm großer Lüfter.
Rein optisch und preislich ähnelt der Freezer 13 dem Revoltec Pipe Tower Pro.
Aber wie sieht es mit der Kühlleistung aus und wie hört er sich an?
Die Testergebnisse werden es klären und wie bei den allerersten Kühlertests der Redaktion ocinside.de vor mehr als 10 Jahren, gibt es natürlich auch in diesem Kühlertest wieder den Kühlersound zum Anhören.

Not too long ago, I took a look at the Noctua NH-U9B SE2. Today I am going to compare that to the Arctic Freezer 13 from Arctic Cooling. Arctic has long been known for their cooling products, but has also branched out into peripherals as of late. Taking a look at one of their core products, the Freezer 13, should make for a nice comparison against the recently reviewed Noctua heatsink.

Over the past decades, technology has rapidly evolved. From legacy typewriters and paper to modern day keyboards and Microsoft's Office suite, the way we work has changed dramatically. This goes without saying that human attitudes towards technology have also evolved. From the typical 1990's "Can I use your old-school desktop, dad?" to the modern day setting of having one or more computers for everyone in the family, an increasing amount of people are becoming more obsessed with possessing their own personal electronic devices. Let's put it this way: Can you name the last high school kid who doesn't even know what half the parts in their computers do, and yet is now attempting to build their own system? Yeah, I can name quite a few. In general, everyone wants the latest and greatest, especially when it comes to computers. What I have specifically noticed in this area is the competition between people when it comes to processors. Some swear by Core i5s, which becomes surprisingly competitive against LGA 1156 Intel Core i7 processors once overclocked. But when it comes to CPUs, many other factors also come into play. This includes one of the biggest elements -- heat. Overclocking with increased voltage would introduce a large amount of heat, and your stock heatsink isn't necessarily designed to handle all the extra thermal energy. This is why many computer enthusiasts invest in aftermarket CPU cooling. These can range from a small price tag on value oriented units, to more bank-account-demanding high performance units like the Noctua NH-D14. Following up on Arctic Cooling, they claim to have produced a heatsink that is able to cool mid-range to higher end processors at a mere $35 price tag at press time. Compatible with Intel sockets 1366, 1156, and 775, as well as AMD sockets AM3, AM2+, AM2, 939, and 754, what we have here in our labs is the company's latest creation -- the Freezer 13. Being a proud owner of an LGA 1366 Intel Core i7 processor, I feel most excited to get my hands on one of these today for the review. Read on to see if this heatsink is worth your while!

The Freezer13 will eventually replace the Freezer7 Rev2 as Arctic’s flagship cooler and on the evidence of these tests consumers won’t be left disappointed. The performance is on a par with the already excellent Freezer7 series and does so with a lower noise profile. In fact, with Cool ‘n’ Quiet enabled the fan is eerily silent and easily able to handle the Phenom II overclocked to 3.8GHz @1.5 Vcore on all four cores. Combine that with the excellent new design, proven reliability from Arctic’s previous products and a retail price below Ł25 - the Freezer13 truly is the “bang for buck” king!

Arctic stellte im Oktober den Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 vor. Dieser soll die Freezer Familie erweitern und dabei mit einer hohen Kühlleistung bei geringer Lautstärke trumpfen. Bis zu 200W Kühlleistung soll dieser bieten. Dabei bietet er eine hohe Kompatibilität zu aktuellen AMD und Intel Systemen.

It wasn’t too long ago when Arctic Cooling impressed me with the Freezer 11 LP. Today, I return with the bigger brother: Freezer 13. While there are similarities between the Freezer 11 LP and Freezer 13, the two are targeting very different market segments.
