The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Rev. 2) performed very well in our tests for a cooler at this price point and it certainly does make a strong upgrade option when compared to the Intel reference cooler. It will be perfect for users who want a little extra performance out of their system with a mild overclock or for users wanting a cooler running processor. The devilishly simple installation process also makes it appropriate for less-advanced users who may not have installed a CPU cooler before.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to test the noise produced by the cooler quantitatively but it was almost inaudible over the rest of our test system and is certainly among the quietest of coolers we’ve tested.
The combination of impressive performance and decent build quality is a steal as it can be had for a mere £16 in the UK right now. The Freezer 7 Pro certainly isn’t going to break the bank and is within reach of even the most budget-minded customers.
KitGuru Says: The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is a great cooler for the price and is a worthwhile upgrade from the standard Intel cooler.

Even cheaper than the Thermaltake Contac 29 very nice indeed ! this will be a good seller I would imagine

Awesome little cooler, the original was brilliant, such a bargain really considering the £40+ asking price for most now in the UK. this and the Contact 29 seem the best deals.

Its hard to justify spending £60 on a cooler unless you need to overclock very high. and most people don’t. this is ideal.

Excellent design and such a cheap asking price. the first one was around for a long time, I see no reason why this one wouldnt be also.

Very well written review Mr Butt
a few things id change such as fan support, but for the price, its impossible to fault.

Good review, as far as I know this has been around for a while but still holds up there quite well.
One thing that got me thinking while reading through it was this… see that pic looking at the cooler from the south east corner of board? Yea, well how does if at all, does taller RAM modules affect cpu cooling performance? Taller DIMMs could potential interrupt airflow into the fan and thus the heat dissipation of the cooler? That could make a pretty interesting read if that theory holds true
