Recently at KitGuru, we have reviewed a number of (pricey) all-in-one liquid coolers. While AIOs typically offer good performance and funky visuals, there are several valid reasons why you may not want to go with a liquid cooler. Because of that, today we look at the Arctic Freezer i32 air cooler. Priced at around the £30 mark, is the Freezer i32 a good option for an air cooler on a budget?
While the Arctic Freezer i32 is a low-cost cooler, it is not without its special features. Most interestingly, Arctic market the Freezer i32 as a ‘semi-passive' cooler. Essentially, the included F12 fan is designed to only spin up once the CPU is under some load – at idle, it simply does not spin. In this review, we take you through the included accessories, the installation process and the cooler's performance to see whether it is worth buying.

I had their cooling all recommendations
It’s good but when its main competitor is Fera 3, it loses. It has almost identical performance but is cheaper and much better looking(the new revision has really clean looking heatpipe caps and a black top: https://www.silentiumpc.com/en/fera-3-he1224/ ).
On the other hand both are great. I used hardware from both companies and their customer service is absolutely top notch.
Zero fan feature is a good selling point, really looking forward this cooler for my next build when Kaby Lake comes out.
Too bad it is too heighty for my Thermaltake Core V1. If it is 5mm shorter I might change my choice. Either way, Cryorig H7 is my choice (barely hit the top by 1-2mm).

I would dig this cooler so much if optional mounting brackets would allow the cooler to be mounted rotated 90 degrees, actually looking at it, that would really interfere with the RAM, maybe a future version that is a bit taller so the radiator grid can be raised it to clear the memory
The stock pictures are without the washers by the way. I have them with. The i32 is quiet always, and cooling is average for this kind of a cooler. So perfect for light overclocking. However, during hot summerdays, better to have a good ventilated case. Source: me being an owner.
