The Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo not only stands alone as one of the best performing midsized air coolers we have tested in quite some time, it also solidifies itself as one of the best overall due to a very handsome $40 price, making it an impressive bargain.

Product details

  • LGA1700 COMPATIBILITY: The Freezer 34 eSports DUO (white) is compatible with Intel's new Alder Lake processors - Socket LGA1700
  • IMPROVED HEAT DISSIPATION: Evenly spread direct-touch heat pipes and an optimised heat sink design with 54 cooling fins lead to an ideal heat dissipation for the Freezer 34 eSports DUO
  • FOR HIGH-END CPU: The contact surface of the Freezer 34 eSports DUO heat pipes does not cover the full heatspreader, but is right where the processor DIE is and covers even the largest versions (18 core)
  • EASY INSTALLATION & SECURE HOLD: Fast and easy to install, the mounting system of the Freezer 34 eSports DUO is compatible with Intel and AMD sockets, thanks to a backplate and its low weight it's also transport safe
  • IDEAL AIRFLOW: The two BioniX P-fans of the Freezer 34 eSports DUO work in push-pull-mode, the resulting increase of airflow ensures that the heat from the CPU is dissipated even faster

Limited thermal performance caps the appeal of the CNPS10X Optima II. It’s suited mostly to stock-clocked builds with fewer than 6 cores. But note the shroud sits low on the shoulders, making for very low memory DIMM clearances as well.
