Fans of the Freezer 7 Pro can rest assured: if you liked the Freezer 7 Pro, you're going to love the Freezer 7 X. Above all, this compact and light CPU cooler proves once again that at ARCTIC, high quality doesn't have to come at a high price. What about Intel platforms? Well, Intel only bundles a cooler with its low-end processors these days and they are adequate for the thermal loads they will encounter, so an upgrade may be a little pointless. I would also expect users of the higher-end Intel K series CPUs to be going for a thermal solution with a little more cooling headroom. However, I would expect the Freezer 7 X to be more than capable of cooling an Intel Core i5-9400 or similar CPU. Out with the old, in with the new. With the new Freezer 7 X, we're able to present a successor that not only builds upon the success of its renowned predecessor - it outshines it. The Freezer 7 X reaps the benefits of an improved heatsink design along with a reworked heat pipe layout. In conjunction with the fan, which is optimized for high static pressure, the ARCTIC Freezer 7 X sets new standards in cooling. Compared to its predecessor, a performance increase of almost 10 % could be tested — and at a price that has been driven down by optimized and more efficient manufacturing processes.
According to Arctic, the P-series fan features a newly developed motor that runs quieter and more efficiently, thanks to its 20°C lower coil temperature compared with traditional fan motors. This increases fan lifespan and reduces power down from 0.25A to just 0.07A, which is effectively a 72% power consumption saving. The P-series fan used in the Freezer 7 X also has a broad PWM speed range of 300-2000 RPM.The Freezer 7 X uses a fan motor newly developed by ARCTIC. This runs less audibly and more efficiently, so that the temperature of the coils is 20 °C lower than with conventional motors. This increases the lifespan of the fans considerably, allowing ARCTIC to grant a 6-year warranty period for the Freezer 7 X. Unlike on the Spartan 5, the Freezer 7 X fan can be conveniently removed. It is attached to the fins on the sides with two wider hooks. The connection is strong enough and the fan does not rattle on the heatsink, has no play and holds firmly. So the fan doesn’t tend to “make the fins ring” due to vibrations, but Arctic rubber pads (for the future, when plastics won’t be so fresh…) could be used. Of course, some vibrations are transmitted to the cooler body and from it to other components and can be a source of annoying secondary noise. ARCTIC's long-running CPU cooler gets a worthy successor. It feels like the end of an era: the Freezer 7 Pro has long been one of our most loyal companions, and even though it wasn't a high-performance beast, it was known and loved by countless customers around the world. But after more than 10 years together, it's time to say farewell. Direct-Touch Heatpipes: Two direct-touch heat pipes with pre-applied MX-2 thermal paste enable ideal heat dissipation.
So after that we loaded the Intel Core i5-10500 CPU with Prime95 Small FFTs, so that with Base Frequency Boost about 100-102 Watt TDP is reached and notes the temperature at low, medium and maximum speed. ShortSummaryDescription - "ARCTIC Freezer 7 X" - kompaktiškas daugialypis CPU aušintuvas, oro aušintuvas, 9,2 cm, 300 aps/min, 2000 aps/min, 0,3 sone, aliuminis, juodas, baltas In addition to operating more quietly, even at maximum speed, the Freezer 7 X built-in fan motor is also much more efficient. The power consumption was reduced from 0.25 A to 0.07 A, which corresponds to an effective savings of 72 % in power consumption. ARCTIC engineers were also able to reduce the volume by 40 %, allowing the Freezer 7 X to run at a whisper-quiet 0.3 sone when at maximum speed. 10 % More Cooling Capacity with Freezer 7 X Pressure-optimised Fan: With a PWM controlled, pressure-optimised 92 mm fan, the Freezer 7 X offers high cooling power at a low price.
Inspired by the P-series, the fan of the Freezer 7 X benefits from all of the advantages of P-fans: In the following Arctic Freezer diagram you can see from top to bottom the results of the Intel Core i5-10500 CPU in idle with 100% speed, i.e. approx. 2089 rpm, below with 60% at approx. 1422 rpm and finally with 20% speed at approx. 525 rpm. After that, these three speed ranges follow again with identical volume at Prime95 Small FFTs full load.
The cooler is always fastened via a clasp with two windows, which catch on the hooks of the frame from above and below. The windows are attached to the clip via screws so that they can be loosened for convenient mounting. However, you must not forget to tighten them afterwards, on both sides, so that the pressure of the cooler is even. Screwing a cooler in a smaller case can be quite complicated due to the tight space. Memory won’t cross your path though, the Freezer 7 X doesn’t interfere above the DIMM slots. The fan volume is measured with a sound pressure level meter in dB from a distance of 100cm. Additionally we determine the respective speed. Arctic Freezer 7 X test results …
Cooling Performance
The coolers are tested at maximum output and at lower speeds corresponding to fixed noise levels of 45, 42, 39, 36, 33 and 31 dBA. Noise levels are measured with a Reed R8080 noise meter ( with a parabolic collar to increase sensitivity) at a distance of 15 centimetres from the sound source (fan). Thanks to a combination of alloy and lubricant developed in Germany, the friction within the bearing is reduced, leading to greater efficiency. In this way, less heat is generated, there is less bearing noise and the life of the fan is extended. Direct Touch Heat Pipes Aprašymas - Aušintuvo tipas: CPU, lizdas: Intel LGA775/1150/1151/1155/1156/1200, AMD AM2(+)/AM3(+)/AM4/FM1/FM2(+), ventiliatoriaus skersmuo: 100 mm, ventiliatoriaus greitis (aps./min): 2000 aps./min, garantija: 2 metai The lower profile is one of the biggest advantages of this cooler, especially in this lower price range. However, the toll for this is a significantly smaller fin area than that of, for example, the competing SilentiumPC Spartan 5. Its fins also feature more prominently molded protrusions to increase the overall radiating area. Something similar is also present on the Freezer 7 X, although here it is more kind of relatively shallow “imprints” (rather than a proper molding) from the underside of the ribs. Compared with the previous Freezer 7 Pro, Arctic has trimmed down the size and features of the Freezer 7 X. There are just two 6mm direct touch copper heat pipes set into an aluminium base plate with a total of 44 aluminium fins that make up the heat sink. A single 92mm P-series PWM fan, optimised for high static pressure, is housed in a plastic shroud and clips directly to the heatsink.
