The Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP is supplied in a simple plastic shell casing which is moulded to the shape of the cooler. This is a standardised shipping style for Arctic Cooling and while we appreciate it probably looks good in a store, we wonder if it would survive abuse from couriers. To open the package you just pop the tabs, which is a nice touch.
Arctic Cooling supply mounting brackets for both Intel platforms as well as all necessary mounting equipment.
The cooler itself is a straightforward design with a 92mm fan blowing down onto the aluminum fins underneath. It uses two copper heatpipes to transfer heat from the CPU.
The Freezer 11 LP is a 54mm profile design which means it will fit into most media cases currently available on the market. MX2 thermal paste is preapplied onto the base which saves the end user some time fiddling about with tubes of paste. We would have hoped they could have preapplied the latest MX4 paste, however processors cooled by a low profile solution are rarely (if ever) overclocked so it should be more than enough.
