CPU cooler ARCTIC Freezer 36 Black - AOCPU00012A/Bulk

ARCTIC Freezer 36 Black is an air cooler for processors aimed at mid-range and more serious gaming and workhorse configurations. It comes in a compact, clean black design without RGB, with two 120 mm fans for stable airflow. It is compatible with popular sockets AM4, AM5, and LGA 1700, so you can easily install it on both a current Intel build and a modern Ryzen. The package also includes MX-6 thermal paste, saving you an additional purchase and ensuring good contact between the CPU and the heatsink.

What you get is a dual-fan air cooler with fan sizes of 120 x 120 x 25 mm and a heatsink made of aluminum and copper, optimized for a balance between noise and efficiency. The two P12 PWM PST fans operate in the range of 200 – 1800 RPM, meaning that under light load they can spin slowly and quietly, while under serious load they can ramp up the RPM and push more air. The airflow of 43.7 – 55 CFM is more than sufficient for serious gaming or long work sessions without the CPU “throttling” from temperatures. The 4-pin PWM connectors allow you to set a fan curve through BIOS or software and control noise according to your needs. The warranty of 72 months is a good bonus, especially for a component that effectively runs non-stop with the machine.

• Air cooling with two fans for better airflow and lower temperatures in a more compact form factor.
• Compatibility with sockets AM4, AM5, and LGA 1700, making it a flexible choice for modern Intel and AMD systems.
• Two 120 x 120 x 25 mm P12 PWM PST fans provide stable airflow and the ability for daisy chaining (PST) through 4-pin.
• Wide speed range of 200 – 1800 RPM, allowing for very quiet operation at idle and aggressive cooling under load.
• Airflow of 43.7 – 55 CFM, suitable for gaming and productive tasks without thermal throttling in normal scenarios.
• Heatsink made of copper and aluminum for good heat dissipation and balanced weight.
• Package includes MX-6 (0.8 g) thermal paste, so you can install it immediately without additional purchases.
• Compact black design with a height of 159 mm, without RGB, for simpler and cleaner builds.
• Long 72-month warranty, giving you peace of mind for long-term use.

It is suitable if you are building a mid-range or stronger gaming/work build on AM4, AM5, or LGA 1700 and want effective, yet reasonably sized and budget-friendly air cooling. It is also a good option if you are not chasing RGB effects, but looking for a black, clean setup with controllable noise. If you have a very limited case (very low clearance for height) or are aiming for extreme overclocking, you may need to carefully check the dimensions or look for an even more massive solution.
