ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2, CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Multi-Directional Mount, 92mm PWM Fan

Pros: I had to remove AMD stock heat sink on a AMD FX-4350 Vishera 4.2GHz. Because it was over heating even with out any tweaks from the bios, so I decided to purchase this and its just perfect! Its silent, cooled, easy install and great price.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
ATI Radeon HD5770 Juniper
Asus Essentio Case (Unknown Date/Model)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM HDD
AMD FX-4350 Vishera 4.2GHz
500W PSU (Unknown Make/Model)

Pros: It's a good fan that keeps my CPU cool. It idles at 33 C and stays low around 45 to 55 when I'm gaming.

Cons: For six months I had this dang thing running in my PC and occasionally it would just stop spinning and then restart randomly without any patterns. I thought automatic fan control in the BIOS was responsible but then I saw that sometimes the fan would stop running while I was gaming and my CPU temp. would skyrocket. I searched online and found that by mistake at the factory some of fans hadn't been pushed in all the way into the motor. I pulled the fan out of my case and saw this was the problem. I pushed the fan in all the way and now it works perfectly.

Other Thoughts: If you do buy this fan make sure that you check that it is pushed in all the way into the motor.

Pros: I installed in 2006 and is still working on Intel/Asus combo. I do not play video games, just regular use.

Cons: Looks good :-)

Pros: Keeps my stock speed i5-3570k at sufficient temps.
Fast customer service. Sent new fan. *See Cons*

Cons: The fan broke shortly after getting it. And by broke I mean it stopped working randomly.

Pros: Looks great. Big as a baby's head.

Cons: Does not fit my MSI 990 FXA-GD65 mobo, not even close. The fan included with the AMD FX 8350 CPU is noisy. I loathe having to pack it up and return it, and the inevitable hassle, but it's that or so long, $40.

I really wish the product info had mentioned that it would not even come close to fitting this pretty popular motherboard.

Pros: Quiet
Keeps cpu temperatures low
Lasted 2 years and still going

Cons: Not as strong as other coolers for the price
Customer service not good. I emailed one of their representatives about losing the AMD mount and they said they would mail me one. I have yet to receive it to this day (its been over a month)

Pros: this is my second cooler of the same one and it has been good to me i have used this cooler on two builds already on my third i used an I5 2500k and artic silver 5 thermal compound i have the CM 430 pc case with just fan cooling and the cpu at idle stays at between 22 and 30c on full load while playing games between 40 and 55c wich is good

Cons: non

Other Thoughts: wish there also was another version of this same fan cooler that has a led light on the fan shroud or and led built in fan would be very cool more modders

Pros: Quiet, not giant, works great, fits without interfering with memory.

Cons: None that I have seen as of yet.

Other Thoughts: It fits! (yes I know, that is what she said) if you are worried about clearance room for memory, I'm running Kingston Hyperx Beast memory on a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 board. The amount of room between the memory and cpu cooler is about a two pennies width. I know that when I was searching for a good CPU cooler, space was one of my main concerns. So hopefully this will help someone out. On a side note, in my case it cools like a champ. Under a full-load stress test the CPU cores never surpassed 59C, my idle temps hover ~29C

Pros: Excellent cpu cooler when it is working

Cons: Lasted 6 months. Product page says 6 yr. limited warranty from manufacturer. Contacted manufacturer and they said they do not offer end user warranty to contact reseller. I contacted Newegg and they only offer their standard 90 day warranty.

Other Thoughts: None

Pros: Cools well. Went together easily.

Cons: The orientation of the heatsink is limited with an AMD processor. If you have intel, you can orient the heatsink in any direction. However, I have and AMD phenom x4 and my Gigabyte UD5 has the memory slots close to the processor. With this heatsink, at least the first if not 2 of the four Memory slots are unusable because of the heatsink being in the way.

Might work on most motherboards, but didn't work on mine...

Other Thoughts: I'm not disappointed with the cooling or build quality. It's a $30 heatsink that is lightyears better than the stock stuff. If you have intel, don't fear, everything will fit. If you have AMD, compare your MOBO's RAM slots to the UD5.
