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.
