As this is a low profile cooler we weren't expecting record breaking levels of performance, however the Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP really did deliver some great results with our Core i5 655k. The build quality is excellent and the installation procedure is simple, although we ran into some physical spacing issues with our Zotac H55 ITX motherboard – after a little modification we managed to get it installed.
Performance is excellent, outclassing both the reference Intel cooler and the Thermaltake Slim X3 by a noticeable margin – return to idle results were also impressive.
Negatively, we have a little concern over the push pin installation system, it really doesn't look that durable. If you fit it once and leave it alone however I wouldn't see a problem. We have no pricing information yet for the UK market, but we expect it be very competitively marketed, like all Arctic Cooling products.
KitGuru says: Overall, one of the best performing low profile coolers we have tested, and ideal for confined spaces.
