Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB White CPU Cooler Review

Packaging & Accessories

The box looks neat enough, with a monochrome image of the cooler, and while I would have preferred a photo to see the product, at least I can see the general design. There’s also a badge telling us it has a zero dB mode, and an included tube of MX-6 thermalpaste, neat!

Around the back, you can see the motherboard confirmed with direct RGB support, as well as the main cooler specifications, all pretty straightforward stuff.

Open the box, you’ll find the cooler is in there upside down, with folded cardboard providing plenty of layers and air gapping to keep it safe.

And even more cardboard further down, with a components box on one side to store the mounting kit.

There’s even cardboard protecting the fans, and a little bit more protecting the CPU block too.

While there is a lot of cardboard, at least it is all recyclable, and the only plastic is the small bag containing the screws.

The mounting kit is uhm, this, that’s it.

You know the little silver tray with the arm that holds down your CPU? Yeah, you take that OFF of your motherboard and screw this over your CPU instead. It’s made from a single piece of aluminium too, it’s a simple but nice and high-quality part.

Because of this new block, you just need four screws, but there are some spacers and two arms for mounting to AMD sockets too.
