Review on 🌬️ ARCTIC Freezer 50 TR - High-Performance Dual Tower CPU Cooler for AMD Ryzen Threadripper SP3, sTR4, with A-RGB, Two Pressure-optimised Fans, 8 Heatpipes by Nick Esquibel

For my power-hungry Threadripper 3970X, I needed a very powerful cooling system. This cooler was my first. When I tried to install it, I encountered constant problems. I solve one only to stumble upon another and this HSF was responsible for most of it. 1. How do I get to the screws on the bottom that are blocked by the fan itself? Operation manual. there was nobody! So annoying! I had to look it up on the web on my old post-replacement computer and only then found that the middle section is released by two latches. However, these latches are not very easy to remove and it took several attempts to get them loose. Is this manufacturer really too lazy to provide a simple graphical installation guide/product brochure? When I tried to install the fan, I found that I couldn't install it because the heatsink was sunken too far. rested on the heatsink of my RAM! I had to get new RAM with a shorter heatsink. When I installed the removable RAM I was able to mount the HSF. but there were more difficulties and difficulties. There are a few screws that need to be carefully inserted, a quarter on one side, a quarter on the other side, another quarter on the original side and back and forth. except they don't align properly and it takes about 5 tries before it actually stays. It may seem like this is good, but gently lift it from one side and. Pop! One side didn't go in at all as the holes didn't quite line up. A few dozen tries later and it's finally safe. Then I tried to install the graphics card. This bulky, space-consuming HSF was only 1/8 inch from the edge of my graphics card, giving me enough room to reach it. I had to remove the HSF to even put in a graphics card since I couldn't get to the PCI-e slot. After realizing that there was no CD drive bay in my case and realizing how badly this HSF was nagging me, I decided not to use it and wanted to return it, but I had the biggest and most frustrating struggle with it. Because one of the two tabs was directly opposite the graphics card, I wasn't able to remove the center piece to remove the motherboard bracket. I couldn't access the graphics card due to PCI-e blockage. I'm stuck and it took me 3 days to find a solution and spent 3 hours (a total of trying and not trying when I had ideas) trying to get one of them to come loose. I started scratching the graphics card a bit, but I was lucky I forgot to remove the protective cover from it and I didn't put much effort into the outside of the PCI-e lock. I even considered destroying the part of the latch closest to the graphics card so I could at least gently pull it out, but it turned out to be too stiff. Again, back and forth and careful manipulations with the graphics card and PCI-e slot got him out. From there I was able to remove the HSF. I then put it in a box with the other components and shipped it out asap as I was so disappointed with it. I finally settled on a closed-loop liquid cooling system. At least I can easily add the remaining 128GB of RAM without any extra effort or headaches. I have no idea how effective this would be for cooling as I have never used it for this purpose. If you plan on getting this HSF, make sure your build is set up and final for that area of the motherboard (i.e. RAM, GPU and all applicable power connectors) as there is no going back. If you need something efficient to cool a powerful processor, consider a liquid cooling system instead.
