ARCTIC COOLING Freezer i35 ACFRE00094A CPU cooler Intel 1700 1200 115x 120mm fan

Intel Socket 1700 1200 115x Compatibility

The ARCTIC COOLING Freezer i35 is a single-tower CPU air cooler designed for Intel Socket 1700, 1200 and 115x platforms. It uses four staggered heat pipes with direct-touch technology to move heat from the processor into the aluminium fin stack. A 120 mm pressure-optimised fan then dissipates that heat. The compact layout leaves full clearance for memory modules with tall heatsinks. A 0.8 g sachet of MX-5 thermal paste is included for installation.

Mounting Simplicity and Clearance Limits

The Intel-specific mounting kit reduces hardware to the essentials, so the cooler fits Socket 1700, 1200 and 115x without extra brackets. Because the tower is narrow, it does not overhang the first DIMM slot, allowing any RAM height. The cooler relies on a single 120 mm fan; there is no provision for a second fan or for liquid-cooling integration. Builders needing dual-fan push-pull or radiator mounting must look elsewhere.

Thermal Headroom for Mainstream Loads

Four heat pipes and a 120 mm fan give enough capacity for typical high-end desktop CPUs at stock settings and moderate overclocks. Sustained all-core workloads at very high power will eventually saturate the single-tower fin area, causing fan speed and temperature to rise. The included MX-5 paste ensures reliable contact from the first mount. Users chasing maximum overclock headroom or silent operation under extreme loads will need a larger dual-tower or liquid cooler.
