CPU Socket Compatibility | Intel LGA 2066* / 2011-3* / 2011* / 1156 / 1155 / 1151 / 1150 AMD Socket AM4 * SQUARE ILM (80 x 80 mm spacing) only ** c’t magazin has shown in issue 17/2017 on page 96 that Intel i9 CPUs on socket 2066 may draw up to 270 Watts since wrongly programmed BIOS by mainboard manufacturers fail to limit the TDP of the CPU to the specified 140 Watts. This may lead to thermal throttling of the CPU. |

Features | Semi Passive Cooling By semi passive performance the Freezer 33 provides again a special feature. A sophisticated fan controller that was developed by German engineers allows passive cooling of the CPU during simple applications such as surfing and creating documents. The 120 mm fan only starts up at a PWM signal with 40 % pulse width. This saves energy, extends the service life and makes the cooler at low load completely silent. Improved Heat Dissipation The Freezer 33 has off-centered heat pipes that dispense the heat in a more efficient than the centered ones of its predecessors. Also, the layout of the 49 aluminium fins creates micro vortices that boost the airflow and circulate it around the heatpipes. Optimal Compatibility Fast and easy to install and extremely reliable, the mounting system is compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. Also, the low footprint of the Freezer 33 avoids interference with the RAM, even if there are two fans used ensuring the best compatibility. Enhanced Bearing Due to a new alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, the friction within the bearing is reduced and a greater efficiency is achieved. This way, there is less heat development as well as less bearing noise and you can enjoy a longer service life of your cooler. Easy Installation & Safe Transportation Thanks to different mounting models for various sockets, a backplate and a significantly lower weight compared to the i30, the Freezer 33 is not only fool-proof to install, but also absolutely transport safe. |

Pros: - AM$ Brackets and easy installation - Ryzen 5 2400G set CPU 4.0Ghz @ 1.35V / GPU 1500Mhz @ 1.2V Peak Temp 50-55C loaded 2hr - Quiet for the most part
Cons: - Appearance (but overlooked since it works great)
Overall Review: I bought my first to replace stock cooler on my A10-7870K which has not exceeded 40C since I installed it. I bought this one for my Ryzen 5 2400G and it has not exceeded 55C. I debated on liquid cooling, but I fail to see the need to spend the extra money.
