Benchmarks - Thermal Results
At idle, the Freezer 33 hovered around the 28° mark which equated to a delta temperature of just over 6°C at 1,180 RPM. This is a little higher than the X62 from NZXT, but is to be expected considering the surface area of the aforementioned coolers 280mm radiator.



As we move to load temperature results we can no longer ignore the elephant in the room. As you may have already noticed, we are missing a reading for our 4.4 GHz overclock with the Freezer 33. Unfortunately, the Arctic cooler was simply unable to keep up with our 1.4v overclock in the AIDA 64 stress test. All of our temperature tests are run for over a 20 minute session, but in this particular instance the stress test would not run for any longer than 70 seconds before automatically calling time at a recorded temperature of around 90°C (despite being re-seated several times).

At stock frequencies however, temperatures were in order and back under control at around 70°C. It should be noted however that both fans did spin up to nearly 2,600 RPM. Let's see how that translated to acoustics on the next page.
