Arctic Freezer i30 CPU Cooler Review

We repeated the testing procedures with our Intel Core i7 2600K CPU overclocked to 4.4GHz using a BIOS voltage of 1.240V which crept up to a maximum of 1.288V under load conditions. We must remind you that we have discovered our processor runs slightly hotter than usual, but seeing as all tests use the same CPU, the results aren’t biased.

Performance is again fairly competitive even when a 4.4GHz overclock is applied. The Freezer i30’s performance matches that of the Hyper 212 EVO and ETS-T40-VD. Xigmatek’s slightly more expensive Aegir manages to outperform the i30 while the performance of the Hyper 612S and Tranquillo Rev. 2 is easily surpassed.
