In keeping with the recent market launch of the new Ryzen – 5000 – We are looking for three testers for a brand new CPU cooler from Arctic. In cooperation with the Swiss cooling specialist, we are looking for three Hardwareluxx readers and community members to use the Arctic Freezer 50 put your system through its paces at home and would like to write a comprehensive review for our forum. As a small thank you for your efforts, you can of course keep the cooler at the end.

The Arctic Freezer 50 was officially launched in mid-October and is especially for the new Ryzen – 5000 – processors of the AM4 platform, but also for numerous current Intel processors with LGA socket 1200, 115 x , 2066 and 2011 (- 3) thought. To cool such a processor, the tower cooler has a total of six, 6 mm thick copper heat pipes and of course a large number of aluminum fins, which are powered by two fans with a diameter of 120 and even 140 mm are supported. You work with 200 to 1. 800 revolutions per minute and should work particularly quietly.

Thanks to DirectTouch, the heat pipes lie directly on the processor, which promotes the absorption of waste heat. In order to keep up with the current trend, the Arctic Freezer 50 via integrated RGB lighting with 13 individually controllable LEDs, whereby these can be configured using common software tools from the mainboard manufacturers and automatically coordinated with other components. An A-RGB controller is also available for an additional charge. Overall, the tower cooler has a total weight of just under 1.2 kg and reaches dimensions of 148 x 149, 5 x 166 mm.

In the price comparison is the Arctic Freezer 50 from about 55 euros. With the A-RGB controller it is about 15 Euro more. Three of our readers can now test the CPU cooler free of charge in a reader test.
