ARCTIC Freezer 4U-M (Rev. 2)

No idea why this is listed as “Frequently returned”. People must not know what they are buying. It’s an excellent cooler, much better and 1/3rd the price of the Noctua alternative. Currently using this with an ASUS Sage TRX50, Threadripper 9970x and it works flawlessly and is very quiet, given that it is cooling 350w. Max temps all core at stock are around 85c or so with a non-agressive fan curve. Somewhat annoying to install at least compared to AIOs, but threadripper aio’s are upwards of $400 and this was like $55. No brainer for no maintenence or worry about leaks on a $6000 system. 10/10 very pleased.

I installed this on a Threadripper 1950x ( TR4 socket), and it works perfect. Idle CPU temps are site between 27C - 34C. This is even better than the watercooler I replaced. I built my PC back in 2017. It has a Threadripper 1950x. When I built the PC I used one of the Enermax Closed loop all in one water Cooling systems. These systems are not know for their quality. Reviews all over the web calling them trash. When I first installed it I replaced the coolant with better stuff, and as a result is has run reliably for 8 years. Finally I noticed my fans were randomly running at full blast, when I was not doing anything intensive. I checked my CPU temp and it was 76C. Which was high, then I heard some squeling from inside the PC. I determined it was the Water Pump going out. I took it part and cleaned it, used new fluid, but that didn't help, it still continued to have issues, with CPU temps slowly climbing up to 90C, and the PC starting to lag as the CPU attempted to downclock itself to stay cool. So I needed to get a new cooler. Unfortunately most local retailers are not going to stock any coolers compatible for the TR4 socket. I took a leap of faith and bought this from amazon, hoping it would fit. I was a little concerned as some mentioned the fans bumping into the motherboard heatshield, and loosing access to one of the PCIE slots. I am running an Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro-CR and it fits perfect. I even have RGB LED memory and there is just barely enough clearance for the heatsink to not touch. The fan closest to the PCIE does leave a tight gap, but I moved around my cards to ensure a smaller card is right next to it to ensure its not blocking any airflow. Wish I would have bought this years ago. It cools just a well if not better than the old Enermax AIO water cooler it replaced. Highly recommend. It does a great job

Improperly fabbed. Will not go together. I checked multiple install instructions and a youtube video, none of the other installs have a half a screw hole and then a full one. It looks like it was improperly manufactured. I had to cut part of the heatsink off to make it fit.

Great CPU cooler for my needs. Keeps my Threadripper 9960X nice and cool (~35C) at idle with the fans barely spinning. Some notes, though - as stated by other reviewers, the mounting screws need a fair bit of pressure to get them to engage with the mounting threads on the motherboard (the springs need to be slightly depressed so the screw can meet the mounting bracket), making install a bit more difficult than expected. Additionally, the intake fan doesn't slide completely over the front in my Asus Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI A motherboard due to interference with the VRM, but it doesn't seem to impact its cooling ability at all.

I'm incredibly impressed. I've been a fan of Arctic for a while (pun intended), so this one seemed like a no-brainer for my Epyc/Threadripper builds. It cools well and is barely audible, even under load. My only complaint is the mounting — I had to put an absurd amount of force on the cooler to get the screws to catch. Once you get it on, it's not going anywhere though.

Great CPU fan. I needed this fan to match the orientation of my server motherboard to move the air front to back. This fits the bill! Came with mounts for Intel and AM4 sockets. Perfect fit, easy installation. It is 2 fans which are whisper quiet. One can's cable has a female option so both fans can be plugged into the same fan header.

Using this on a EATX case build and not a server chasis. Install Pretty OK but you have to put some some downward pressure on the screws to get them to start threading. Be advised that the thermal past that came with mine was dried out so might want to get another tube with it. Fans are very quiet at no load and is keeping my Threadripper 9960 at 35C. Intake fan did not slide all the way down (~3/8" off)t due to the VRM heatsinks on an Asus TRX50 Sage Wifi A board. Not the coolers fault.

Great price, quiet and it keeps my CPU temperature cool. What more could I ask for.
