The Freezer 7 Pro is supplied within a modestly-sized clear plastic packet that is moulded closely to the cooler's form. This would give us an idea of the size, shape and design of the cooler if we were looking at it on a shelf in a retail outlet. On the front of the packet there is a rather lonely looking list of compatible CPUs and sockets.
On the reverse of the packaging we find some more detailed information about the cooler within. This packaging is unlikely to provide much protection to the cooler but this isn't a massive issue as most etailers will ship it inside an outer box.
Inside the packaging we find some mounting accessories alongside a brief installation sheet and an Arctic Cooling case sticker. The Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal compound is preapplied to the block so there is no need for a sachet or syringe. This will also speed up the installation process and minimise the margin for error in application of thermal compound.
The Freezer 7 Pro consists of a stack of 46 aluminium fins and three 6mm U-shaped copper heat-pipes with a copper block at the base of the cooler. Part of the mounting mechanism comes attached to the block for ease of installation.
The 92mm Arctic Cooling fan fits onto the front of the cooler with what looks to be a unique mounting mechanism. Aside from the fact that 92mm fans are a lot less plentiful on the market than the more standard 120mm fans, this unique mounting mechanism will make it very difficult to upgrade the fan at a later date. Also, the rear of the cooler is curved so there is no chance that an additional 92mm fan could be added for a push-pull configuration.
