ARCTIC Freezer 36 - Single-tower CPU cooler with push-pull, two pressure-optimised 120 mm P fans, fluid dynamic bearing, 200-1800 rpm, 4 heatpipes, incl. MX-6 thermal compound

I have tested this using my Ryzen 5 3600 and used the thermal paste Arctix MX-6 (which comes with the cooler as a tiny little syringe style tube) in my testing.It performs extremely well, keeping my CPU pinned at 60 degrees in a stress test, even with PBO enabled which makes my CPU use more power than usual and it can still keep up with it!Even at full throttle for my CPU it still is relatively quiet, although you can notice the difference between a stressed CPU and an idle cpu, but the noise level is still low enough to be classified as ambient sound.This cooler is compatible with my AM4 Socket, and is compatible with the AM5 platform and also provides a metal frame for the LGA1700/1851 Intel socket which means this cooler has high compatibility which is great to have.You may need to check your case dimensions to see if it's fits, it fits in my case perfectly, although it is very tall and you should check the exact dimensions of your case before purchasing this.It has a nice style to it and I really love how neutral it is, even with the gray one I picked up.For the value for money, I'd say it was well worth buying the gray model when I purchased it for around 17 pounds, and the price has quickly ramped up to 32 pounds which is almost double the price I paid! So I would suggest to anyone buying this above my price, you should go for something such as the Assassin 120 Spirit SE

For the price you are paying this is an exceptionally good cooler. The build quality is excellent and it comes with all the mounting hardware for most Intel and AMD CPUs.Contrary to some reviews mounting the cooler is straightforward, you just need to make sure when attaching the cooler with the two screws you don't drive one screw in to far before tightening the other screw.Fixing the fans is much easier than with conventional cooler designs, as they snap on very easily.The supplied MX-6 thermal paste is top notch.As for temperatures running 3D Mark tests produced temps of up to 70C. In normal operation temps are usually 40C-60C in my system with a non overclocked AMD Ryzen 5700X.I would say this is by far the best air cooler you can get for the current price.

Great CPU Cooler on a budget, good temperatures even on demanding cpu's

Easy to install on Z790 mb. Silent and very effective. Value for money.

easy to install, came with small thermal paste to install. can be a bit big especially if you are using 4 sticks of ram. 2 fans on each side to give cooling to the cpu and easy to click onto the cooler

Previously i was using an older cooler for my cpu, (9 5950x) and it was idling around 60°c however after swapping to this sleek and quiet cooler my idles have been hovering around 30°c -40°c which is great even for a high heat cpu like my one.

The fan came with everything you need from thermal paste to brackets for both AMD and Intel motherboards. The clip on fan system works great and are solid at full spread. This has had no difficulty keeping my Ryzen 5 7600X cool. It is fantastic value for money and a high quality product.

Really nice cooler, keeps temps at bay, fans just clip to cooler easiest instalation I've found so far
