Review on ARCTIC Freezer 7 X - Compact CPU Cooler with 100mm PWM 🌬️ Fan, Intel & AMD Socket Compatibility, 300-2000 RPM (PWM Controlled), Pre-Applied MX-2 Thermal Paste by Juan Anderson

I just bought a new XPS8940 with a 10th gen i7-10700 processor. The stock fan is terrible, to say the least. When rendering videos for social networks and at 100% CPU usage, the temperature sometimes reached 100°C+, so I started looking for a better cooler. Came across this one in the reviews here and the price is perfect with Revain Prime. Arrival came quickly and was handed to me right at the front door. In short, plug and play. It's really beautiful and so well built! I've had other big brands and I love how this one is made. The fan and shroud are easy to remove for easy cleaning, which has always been a big concern for me when cleaning heatsinks and CPU fans. They made it especially for me, just the way I wanted it. Removing the old radiator is easy, just loosen 4 screws and remove. With the new Arctic Freezer i13X, simply screw in the new feet, then mount the brackets with 2 new screws each and then screw in the new heat sink. The supplied backplate is not used because the heat sink is screwed directly through the mainboard into the housing itself. The fit was perfect and the temperature dropped to 60°C, the highest I've seen under full load. UNBELIEVABLE! I also replaced the case fan with a larger, thicker, high CFM fan, and it helps extract all of the heat generated by this little gem. Added another low frequency CFM fan on the front to pull in cooler air and a small fan for the larger 8TB drive and they all work in harmony to really bring temperatures down and NOW lies my idle temperature at about 29 °C! This is a REAL OFFER!
