The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler was pitted against a Thermaltake K450 at bjorn3d recently. Cooling is a major consideration for people nowadays. With the heat of some processors rising to newer higher levels and game enthusiasts pushing the envelope, overclocking their processors, the need is certainly there.
This cooler has a massive size and was much bigger than the authors original Thermaltake. The problem can occur is you use very high memory. In testing the RAM had to be moved to the B slots to accomodate the massive cooler. For those with usual RAM that has perhaps just a heat spreader, things should be fine, just not with Corsair RAM with the LEDs on top.
Performance for the fan was excellent and was actually able to keep the CPU cool without its fan turned on for over 2 hours and that was under load. Bearing in mind that his computer had great fans providing airflow they certainly made a difference. However, by itself it will keep almost any configuration you have in mind cool.
