Nice comprehensive comparisons my man👍🔥,i initially put hyper 212 on my cart but looks like im gonna replace it with ur best cooler🍻..anyway will it fit in microatx pc?
Can you test the new Fuma 2?
Im currently using NH-U12S, but the Fuma 2 is currently on sale in my country.
Yes I plan to review the Fuma 2 soon.
@@HuntaKiller91 Should work fine as long as your case can handle 157mm CPU cooler height.
@@HardwareScientist thanks for the heads up man
that intel cooler just look so sad sitting over there in the corner lol
fifty YT 2700x with an intel cooler?
@fifty YT the intel cooler can only go on intel motherboards
@fifty YT no.
It's sitting where it deserves to sit🤪
My intel cooler scream like a bitch when cpu reach 70°C. Just bough a jonsbo cpu cooler. Pretty good for the price.
Re-watching this video for the second time now, I'm remembering all the reasons I went with Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO for both my and my GF's PCs. Actually this video was one of the deciding factors. I haven't regretted my decision once. Thanks for the deep and comprehensive analysis.
update?

I don't need a cooler, I'm just here for the content and to say that you did a great job on this video. Keep it up!
Lol
Ditto!
AJ 47 pfew glad I got the CPU without the x thought I have to suffer till I got the money for a CPU cooler

Judging by the comments on here the people's champ is
The Artic Freezer 34 Esports Duo
The Beast and the best
ngl I picked up freezer because of his nice graphs I have spent 20minutes on and still dont understand how to read them..
@@reinis6666 just follow your heart. I have one of these bad boys too. Well worth the money
just what i looked for, and i do like the visuals of the freezer as well, thanks
Love the temp vs noise level graph. I find it to be an extremely cool way of looking at cpu coolers' performance. Subbed!
Super informative, easy to understand, and I'll definitely be getting the Arctic esports duo. Thanks for the video!
I've been having trouble finding a cooler until this vid. Thanks for the stats and the fair testing, you did an awesome job on this video.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for years. Thank you so much for this video.
You're the best.
I love the curves! You can read so much data out of them
Really high quality analysis! You've earned my subsription!
I like your video. Your noise to performance plots are exactly what I need to know to quickly evaluate a cooler.
Excellent! You've given us yet another cooler comparison test that drives straight to the point and gives us meaningful results and a solid basis for your conclusions as well as the facts and data we need to make our own choice in this price category. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video! I just bought the Freezer 34 and it's performing as well as you said.
I have that Arctic and it's a beast.
How loud is it?
Do you have intel or AMD?
@@IntraFinesse You barely hear anything.
@@shkkrimp7344 Ryzen 5. Watch the same cooler tested on a Threadripper. And it holds up.
@@Amonny is it 2600?
I was also impressed by the QR code instructions, actually made installation faster and easier. Reminds me of that famous Malcolm in the middle scene "The future is now, old man!"
EXCELLENT video. It's very important to know all of the things you mentioned, not JUST performance. I wound up taking your recommendation, and got an Arctic eSports Duo for $35 open box. I like the look of the Mugen 5, and it performs well, but ultimately the Arctic Duo gives me more options.
Again, great video. Concise and to the point, with all major factors considered and clearly explained.
I would like to point out that among all the techtubers I watch, you have the most concise, easily understandable and relevant graphs I ever seen. your content is amazing and you earned yourself a sub today.
As always great job and very useful data :)
Keep them coming!
I was new to PC building and was looking for a budget CPU cooler. I'm glad I stumbled upon this video and it made me buy the Arctic cooler. Thanks!!
The price of Artic Freezer 34 went up from 38$ to 53$ real quick... STONKS !!!
Thank you, amazing work. Really complete and clear test. You earned a subscriber
This is a great and informative video. I especially loved the temperature to noise graph.
Dude this video is fire (pun intended)
So balanced, well-paced and so descriptive
Good job, truly helpful
I just bought the Freezer 34 - thanks for the review
chris davis is it easy to mount like in the vid? I remember seeing another review somewhere saying installation on the r7 3700x was difficult.
Derpzy I’ve got the 3600 and found it really easy. There’s a good tutorial video showing you a step by step installation which was helpful. This was my first PC build as well. The only thing I found tricky was applying the wire clips onto the fans, but tbh It wasn’t that bad
chris davis ah ok, thanks ! :)
chris davis what specs u got? Gonna buy r5 3600 rtx 2060
Hycia Todd 3600 with a gtx 1660ti
Again man, great video! Keep em coming!
Thank you, super helpful and in depth!
New favourite channel out there. Thanks very much!
I bought a Freezer 34 esports duo on your recommendation. Thank you!
Thank you so much for an awesome comparison! Very much appreciated :)
Awesome video mate great work, would love an updated version though!
Very thorough, great job and the results were surprising
Thank you for a very good review. It can be frustrating at times to watch these sorts of videos as the products we buy aren't always the same. My Hyper 212 came with 2 fans and didn't have a warranty void if removed message anywhere. It was painful to fit onto my AM4 and and the pressure you need to get the screws to take is a worry. It's working very well and is extremely quiet.
What an awesome roundup! Subbed.
Thank you for the very detailed video and honestly was better then most bc everyone else definitely do not go into so many comparisons and will be looking forward to future videos, especially since I am very new to the pc building world.
So glad I found your channel! If I could subscribe 12 times I would. Great content keep up the amazing work!
To the point, focus on the result, subscribed man. Great content!
Great video as always!!
Thx for helping on my first ever pc build!
also for a new youtuber your content is very high quality!
Mugen 5 RevB cooling down ryzen7 1700@4ghz, max temp 65 degrees Celsius, for over 1 year now, but the case is full tower so it has good airflow, corsair 500D. Again nice video, surprised of the winner! Keep up the good work ;-)
This video has so much effort. Great datas. Excellent graphics. Thanks a lot
Almost bought the neptwin rgb for a second pc. Thank you for this video!
Was there a reason you were specifically drawn to the Neptwin cooler?
Great video. Unlike most sponsored vids with just 1 brand!
I appreciate the huge work you had to do, installing and removing each and every one of those coolers.
Excellent video, very informative! Liked and subscribed!
I was kinda confused with which one to buy. You solved that problem of mine. Extraordinary video i have to say .
Loving the unique content!
A great breakdown, well thought out and presented helping me to choose a budget replacement for my Captain EX watercooler that just popped a leak. (liked & subbed) Tyvm xD
I'm building a PC right now and the Freezer 34 was my choice just because I love the looks :D Glad to see it's also good.
Just got my Arctic 34, can't wait to install it! Though keep in mind, for some reason the price varies a bit by color. Currently the cheapest one is the yellow one at around $42
Arctic products are somehow expensive here. This 34 duo is $60-$70 while other brands are almost half the price like the pure rock (non slim)
I discovered your channel only yesterday and...bro...your work is awesome and thanks!
Great review! Made my research and went for Arctic Freezer before seeing your video. It's a beast!
Very informative and thorough video! Keep up the good work!
Great video. I love so much about what you have done here. Having recently gotten into the PC building space, I really hope to see you up there with a lot of the larger names. I had to go check out the other air cooler videos, even though I'm considering budget.
I really would love to see an addition of the stock AMD coolers. Having it with these upgrades and that puny Intel stock cooler, I would love to see how it compares. Especially since I'm using one myself.
Great video. Probably gonna get the Arctic freezer to replace my bothersome and loud AIO Corsair cooler that i have been using for way too long.
Nice inspection 👍... Keep it up.
Great video bro, you made my decision a lot easier. Thank you!
Thank you for your vids man! Helped a lot. You should really try to upload more often, if so you will clearly become a Big Tech CZcamsr one day
There is an added bonus to the Arctic Freezer 34 Duo.
The second Fan doesn't add much more cooling performance. So you can just mount one fan to the heatsink and use the other one as a similar looking case fan.
A single faned version of this cooler is even sold by Arctic too. Also the fans are sold separately, so you can upgrade the Freezer 34 eSports to the eSports DUO later, if you want to do so.
In my PC I use the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports Duo, an slightly older version of the Freezer 34.
great video with very informative details , nice job!
I think this channel really has potential
Great review as always :D
Great video! I tried to install a Hyper 212 on my son's PC with an AMD 3600 and AM4 socket. I work in IT and have installed hundred of coolers and the Hyper 212 was horribly difficult to get onto the mounting screws. I read several online guides and videos and some installers said you have to feel like you're breaking it to get the mounting screws in. After an hour of trying I was convinced I was going to break the cooler, the board, the CPU or something. I'll take back this cooler and my son a Noctua, I love mine and should have started there in the beginning.
Best cooler review / comparison I've watched yet. Ty!
I'd be curious what fan speeds you used to improve cooling performance.
I was thinking about Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo, Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED and Scythe mugen 5 rev. 5. You made it easier for. Thank you and keep up the good work
I have the hyper 212 led for my r5 3600. Bought for $12 here (on sale) and it's much better than the stock cooler but obviously not the best. I paired mine with arctic p12 and it's so quite.
Really hope this channel succeeds. This is the level of detail I need for products. What kind of products will you review in the future? Cooler reviews on gpu's? Cant wait for them. Subbed with bell on.
I will cover CPU coolers for a while and then do cases, fans, and possibly monitors. GPUs might be possible, but they are really expensive so we'll see.
Hardware Scientist looking forward for your next vid
Just the info I needed, thanks
Great cooler tests. You should also test dark rock 4, deepcool gammaxx 400, arctic freezer 33 with one fan, standard 212 evo. There’s so many different coolers 😄
Thanks for the Video. im a noob in PC tech and it rly helped me even tho i bought the Arctic Freezer Solo and not the Duo.
Great review as always m8 I was waiting for this.
Very impressed with the artic freezers performance especially it's fans two of them at 2000rpm vs mugens 1 fan at 1200rpm and they are quieter..
How they manage this I don't know I have the mugen and it's virtually silent I can attest to that..
Sadly for me the freezer wasn't an option due to compatibility but here in Greece you can get it for 5€ less than the mugen!
I would love to see a head to head between these two both using two fans though maybe the tables will turn then?
Maybe you could setup a quick test with the mugen using the freezers fans and releasing a head to head ?
The mugen has a version with two 800rpm fans sold for a few € more maybe it's the cooler to get?
Anyways great job m8 keep them coming!!
Those new fans (I think they're called Bionix) from Arctic are something else. Ther're not on the level of noctuas or shadow blades, but they cost a fraction of those and perform very well both on static pressure and air moved
Thanks for your testing
Excellent video! Very informative!
Would be interesting too see how a AMD stock cooler compares to the intel one although it would be hard to get a fair comparison as you would have to use different cpus
Hardware Unboxed did one recently using an AM4 board that uses LGA1151 mounting.
Underclock the higher wattage cpu so it match the lower wattage cpu. Then make a test.
AMD stock cooler is better imo (wraith prism on 2700x) I managed to oc it to 4.1ghz all cores because my mobo is absolutely trash and CPU reached 78° at absolute max temps and 40°-60° at normal-medium loads. Doubt Intel can do that while managing decent looks
Both Intel and AMD coolers are made on the same assembly line by Cooler Master using identical heatsinks in some models.
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001701336132.html?spm=5261.ProductManageOnline.0.0.21b64edfGd3VKN Brother, I think this product is very cost-effective
Cheers for this. Very thorough and detailed. I think I'm gonna get the Arctic Freezer 34 😉
I've had the Artic 34 Duo for about 7 months now, love it. I really like the color it adds to the system, as well as the performance of course. I'm a fan of subtle RGB highlighting actual colors, not trying to recreate the Vegas strip.
I got the white variant, and have the case led strip to orange. It reflects the color and fits nicely.
what cpu ??
@@xRumvley R5 3600, nothing dramatic.
@@rppdfire it is a good processor indeed am getting this cooler for my i7 10700k so am looking for reviews and benchmarks around will see soon.
Artic Freezer 34 eSports Duo.. Looks amazing, And preforms well too!
Here my journey for CPU coolers ends.
But you also increased my expectations. I wish to see tests for third party GPU air cooleers from Raijintek & Arctic.
That's how a review video should be.
You nailed it.
Enjoyed your presentation style. Excellent comparison testing 👍
Thanks for the comment, very pleased that you like the Freezer 34 eSports DUO.
Arctic coolers are the best! :D
Thank you very much for a nice comparison video.
great analyses!
It would really be great, if you could make a low-profile CPU cooler comparison. These have seen an ever increasing interest in the last few years, because of all the SFF cases that are getting released. Especially interesting coolers here are the Thermalright AXP-100, the Noctua NH-C14S, the Noctua NH-L9, the Cryorig C7, the Cooltek LP53, the Alpenföhn Black Ridge and the Asetek 645LT.
They all differ a bit in size and compatibility and some of them only perform optimally with slight modifications like turning the fan around or switching the fan for a Noctua model.
Any SFF pc builder will love you for such a video, because thermals is a very hot topic in the world of small computers. Cases like the Ncase M1, the DAN Case A4, the Sliger SM550/560, the Nouvolo Steck, the Velka 5 or the Geeek A50.
Great review!
Hi, thanks for the detailed video. Can you guess which heat sink temperature (at the plate) the freezer 34 duo could be at 600W- 1000W dissipation? or the heat pipes may "saturate" and not able to dissipate all this power? I would like to built an Electronic load with a CPU cooler plus a superpowerful mosfet. Many thanks
Loved it buddy, awesomely done video too. :-)))
Nice video man 👍
I just rebuilt a computer and I used the Ryzen 5 2600 but the Wraith cooler was useless, just doing a virus scan drove the heat up to very high levels and the computer would then shut down. So I watched this video and went for the Arctic Freezer eSports Duo and I am amazed at the difference that it has made. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, now all I need is a better graphics card that does not cost too much money, at the moment I have a used Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 ti, it works quite well but it is a bit noisy, I may try to refurbish it if I can get the information and maybe a new fan that will fit.
Very informative video. Thank you!
currently have the I5-9400F Stock but just bought the Freezer 34 ES Duo and I am very excited to install it when it comes
Great video man, very good
excellent video! first time watching ur videos and subscribed
Great video. One suggestion if it doesn't add hours of editing would be to highlight the bar on the graph that you are currently talking about. I'm thinking I'm gonna make my first CZcams video doing a first look at an artic 360mm aio. Wish me luck haha
Wonderful video, you deserve way more subscribers! :D
Thanks for this video. I was going to go with the stock AMD cooler that comes with the Ryzen 5 3600XT and maybe get a Hyper 212 later on but this video convinced me to go for the Arctic Freezer 34 DUO for the initial build.
awesome review !! I went with the Cooler Master RGB Black Edition an I've been getting really good temps when gaming....maybe it's the because of the bigger RGB fans 🤔 ....subbed!! 👍!!
Great work! thanx! thumbs up!
Great comparison video. I went with the runner up, the Mugen 5 rev b. 🙃👍
Enjoyed tour informative comparison as being an AMD user. Like your approach to the use of each cooler, as you had the coolers in an actual case, not on the table where you can get to everything and air flow in not impeded by what is in your case. ++++
Man, I would absolutely love to see those kinds of curves for some of the Snowman coolers, especially the T6 (120mm) with single and dual fans.
that be an interesting battle, I have the arctic 34 in white and my sister the snowman t6 dual fan I want to test it in my 3700x
