The Arctic Freezer 33 eSports Edition performs solidly. This CPU cooler benefits from its dual, 120mm color-highlighted fans both functionally and aesthetically. As a moderately sized, quad-heatpipe tower cooler, it allows free access to surrounding case hardware during maintenance while helping keep them cool during PC operation.
