Advantages: Very quiet when idle, comes with thermal paste, good conductivity
Disadvantages: Quite noisy at higher RPMs, tricky to install

...Air Flow: 45 CFM Bearing: ARCTIC Ceramic Bearing Weight: 520g Noise Level: 0.9 Sone Thermal Resistance: 0.17 degrees c/w Conclusion Whilst maybe not suitable for overclocking, if you're looking to make your computer a lot quieter, you should really consider the Freezer 7 Pro. In comparison to similar products, it's relatively cheap but really does perform as well as units twice the price. ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

...impressed. Silence Arctic Ultra Silent fan is moving on high quality Ceramic bearing. Trust me or not, had many computers in my life and in my hands but this cooler is seriously well made and designed. Thanks that doesn't have to work with higher speed like most coolers on the market. It is slower but even thought has much better performance and properties. Arctic Is really amazing. Some technical data and properties: - Heat Sink: 92 x 92 x ...
...- Overall Dimensions: 92 x 92 x 75 mm - For the Air Flow relevant Height:47 mm - Rated Fan Speed: 1000 - 2300 RPM - Power Consumption: 0.13 Amp. - Air Flow: 42 CFM / 72 m3/h - Weight: 374 g - Noise Level: 0.4 - 1.4 Sone - Thermal Resistance: 0.30°C/Watt I have it on my PC with a Pentium IV 3.0GHz processor with HT. Does cool it to 38-40 degree of Celsius. Even when overclocked the processor to 3.6 temperature rose only by 2-3 degrees. It ... Read review

Advantages: Near silent operation, very light weight
Disadvantages: £40 price tag, looks ugly

...buy a cleaner such as Akasa TIM £5 from PC World to get all the thermal paste from your CPU and make it spotless. Even a thumb print will reduce the effectiveness of heat conductivity, and you can't use any old cleaner for this purpose. The verdict: I am still breaking in silver compound that sits between the heatsink and the CPU, and am told after 200+ hours of computing this will further reduce the temperature by 2-5c. This in mind, the CPU remains ...
...difference with my old heat sink isn't so much the temperature, but the fan speed, which has been reduced by 1000 RPM. The CPU would be cooler, but I have my BIOS running the fan speed to match the temperature, and as the danger temperature is 65c for my Athlon X2, 37-40c seems like a good temperature to keep it at, while keeping the fan down to 1300 rpm. I must note, it is summer and very hot in my room with these tests (26c), so expect the temperature ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Powerfull and efficient
Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to install

...Celsius and with the new Arctic Freezer 7 Pro i am now peaking on full load at 46 degrees Celsius. (My tower also has 3 additional cooling fans as well so i had to point it out.) The Fan being mounted on the side of the Heat sink is a great idea as heat naturally rises. Also the fins at the bottom of the heat sink direct airflow towards the motherboard components which helps keep them cool. When this initially arrived in the post i was surprised ... Read review

Advantages: works, is quiet
Disadvantages: none

...like quiet PCs will know Zalman products. The ZALMAN 9700 LED is a cooler for the CPU and it is compatible with the following chipsets: Socket 754, Socket 940, Socket 775, Socket 939, Socket AM2 Performance I don't have any temperature comparisons with other coolers but it's sat on top of my Core 2 Duo 6600 and is very quiet indeed, plus I can barely get the CPU temp over 35 degrees even on a hot day playing a 3d game. I should point out ...
...LEDs in it, so as it spins in the dark, it looks cool too. Conclusion The ZALMAN 9700 LED is a high quality super quiet, vibration free, highly efficient CPU cooler. It does its job and looks cool at the same time. I recommend it unreservedly. ... Read review
