Artic freezer 33

[Jason pocchiari]

I previously was having trouble keeping my 7700k cool without having my computer sound like a Boeing 767 got the double fan artic freezer 33 and I dont know what I'm doing wrong if anything I'm am seeing people getting a little higher temps then mine when the overclock to 4.8 the cooler is installed properly but could the cold plate need to be adjusted I get around mid 60s when playing and the fans sound ok

Not sure what you're trying to say... What CPU cooler did you have before? What were load temps like with your previous cooler? What are load temps with your new cooler?

Gammaxx 400 which loads where high 70s low 80s 60s when playing games on my new cooler. I just see people get mid 70s when overclocked to 4.8 so I just want to know if anybody can explain this

It's possible that your case has good airflow, or your fans are running at a high RPM, or that you're running your 7700K at a relatively low voltage for a 4.8GHz overclock, or you're using better thermal compound, etc. It doesn't really matter if other people's testing shows worse results, as long as you get good performance, you're fine.

You had a gammax 400 and moved to the freezer 33?

 

They're both 4 heatpipe 120mm fan coolers, they weren't going to be any different, adding an extra fan wasn't going to do much either.

 

You need a physically larger cooler like the D15 or Neptwin with 2 stacks of heatfins to get lower temps.

Delidding would help the most and can drop up to 20C with liquid metal.

Yes it will there is a 90w tsp difference in the coolers

I assume you mean the advertised TDPs? They're basically lying.

The size of the heatsink is what matters most, assuming it has plenty of heatpipes if it's bigger.

I own an Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One (the one with a single fan) and that 210w advertised TDP on the eSports Edition (dual-fan version) is a little misleading.

 

TDP numbers aren't everything, like @Streetguru mentioned, it's the physical size of the heatsink that will determine how well the cooler performs and not necessarily the numbers on paper.

Most cpu coolers are bad because the cpu die is so small. Strap that Freezer 33 to a gpu and it will handle 250W with ease.

Arctic did that already, it's the Arctic Accelero.

I still don't get this post. You are getting lower temps and wonder why? Is that what you are asking? When OCing, and actually often when stock too, voltages play a HUGE role. So what are your voltages when you are gaming. Also note that max temps others report might be under full stress load which is much heavier for CPU than basic gaming, even with CPU heavy games.
