Hello.

I couldn't find anything on tom's about this cooler and how it performs. Semi-passive feature sounds nice, but can it really compete with cryorig h7, 212 evo...?
 
Solution
Both Cryorig H7 and Hyper 212 Evo are using sleeve bearing fans in their setup while Arctic Freezer 32/33 uses fluid-dynamic bearing fan. Further reading about fan bearings,

And that reflects in the warranty length as well where H7 and Hyper 212 Evo only have 2 years of warranty while Freezer 32/33 have 6 years of warranty.

As far as performance goes, i'm pleased with my Freezer 32 since the fan has semi-passive feature where when my CPU is under 52°C, the fan won't turn at all (0 dB(A)). No such luxury with H7 or Hyper 212 Evo where the fan turns all the time causing wear on already short lifespan fan.

Can't make up your mind? Here are best CPU air...

Arctic Freezer 33 is same as Arctic Freezer i32/A32 with only 2 differences:
1. Freezer 33 has both Intel and AMD (AM4) brackets.
2. Freezer 33 fan has different sticker on it's hub to differentiate it from Freezer 32.

Freezer 33 specs: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/freezer-33.html

Performance wise, they are same,

So based on this review, cryorig h7 is far superior to freezer 33, cause f. 33 is weaker than gammaxx 400, and h7 outperforms gammaxx. Am i right? :-D Though, i saw a few reviews where af. 32 performs similar to cm 212 evo. So idk what to think now...
