ARCTIC PUSH-PULL TOWER · LGA1851 / AM5

ARCTIC Freezer 36 — Push-Pull Tower Cooler with LGA1851 / LGA1700 Contact Frame

A single-tower air cooler built around four 6 mm copper heatpipes and a 59-fin aluminium stack, with two ARCTIC P12 PWM PST fans in push-pull that spin from 200 to 1800 rpm and stop completely below 5% PWM. Intel builds get ARCTIC's LGA1851 / LGA1700 contact frame in the box, AMD builds mount on AM5 and AM4, and a 0.8 g tube of MX-7 paste is included. Intel has tested and confirmed the Freezer 36 on the i9-13900K, i9-14900K and i9-13900KS.

Maximum Performance & Overclocking

High-Wattage Intel & Ryzen Gaming Rigs

Two high-static-pressure P-fans push and pull air through the dense fin stack, and the contact frame flattens Intel's ILM load — the combination Intel validated on Core i9 K-series chips.

Silent Operation & Pro Builds

Quiet Everyday Desktops

Below 5% PWM both fans stop entirely, so a light-load office or study PC can run without fan noise, while fluid dynamic bearings keep wear and bearing noise low over years of use.

CLICK FAN MOUNT Clip-Free Click Mounting for Both Fans

Clip-Free Click Mounting for Both Fans

The inset shows ARCTIC's click system: the 120 mm fans lock into the heatsink without wire clips, so they can be fitted or swapped even with the cooler already installed — and most standard 120 mm fans fit.

LGA1851 / LGA1700 FRAME Contact Frame Replaces Intel's ILM

Contact Frame Replaces Intel's ILM

Intel's stock loading mechanism presses the CPU at two points with over 40 kg and can bend it. ARCTIC's frame swaps it out, avoids that deformation and lets the cooler screw onto the CPU backplate.

SIDE-FLOW FINS Open-Sided Fin Stack for Extra Airflow

Open-Sided Fin Stack for Extra Airflow

The 59 aluminium fins are open at the sides, so the rear pull fan draws extra cool air from inside the case through the heatsink rather than only what the front fan pushes in.

FLUID DYNAMIC BEARING P12 Fan Bearing Built for Longevity

P12 Fan Bearing Built for Longevity

The cutaway shows the fan's bearing: an alloy and lubricant combination developed in Germany reduces friction, prevents lubricant loss and limits pin and sleeve wear for lower noise and longer life.

Frequently Asked Questions & Store Support

Which CPU sockets does the Freezer 36 support?
Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700, and AMD AM5 and AM4. It does not list LGA1200 or LGA115x support.
Do I have to use the contact frame on Intel?
The Freezer 36 is designed to mount with ARCTIC's LGA1851 / LGA1700 contact frame, which replaces Intel's loading mechanism, avoids CPU bending and lets the cooler screw onto the backplate. Intel's own validation used this mounting.
Will it fit my case?
The cooler stands 159 mm tall (104 × 126 × 159 mm). Check your case's CPU cooler height limit against 159 mm before ordering.
Is thermal paste included?
Yes, a 0.8 g tube of ARCTIC MX-7.
Can I replace the fans later?
Yes. The click mounting takes most 120 mm fans and lets you swap them even with the cooler installed.
What warranty does this cooler carry?
ARCTIC gives the Freezer 36 a 6-year manufacturer guarantee, backed locally by AHW Store support. See our Warranty Policy ↗.
What payment and installment plans are available in Egypt?
Cash on delivery, cards, and installments via ValU, Sympl, Forsa and bank cards. See our Payment Methods ↗.
How fast is shipping and delivery across Egypt?
Orders are delivered within 2 to 7 business days across all Egyptian governorates in secure armored packaging (with pickup available from our 6th of October headquarters). See our Shipping Policy ↗.
Can AHW Store fit this cooler in a complete build?
Yes. Start with our Custom PC Builder ↗; our engineers mount the cooler and thermally test the system.
What is the return policy?
Returns follow our published policy and its conditions. Read the Refund Policy ↗.
