At first glance the Freezer i32 is a standard towercooler with four direct-touch-heatpipes and an aluminum heatsink, but appearances are deceptive. The 120mm Arctic F12-fan comes with an on-board fan controller that completely stops the fan if active cooling is not required. To prevent a fan from turning off motherboards usually do not send a PWM-signal under 40 percent, but Arctic bypasses this. The fan uses a fluid-dynamic bearing and operates at a maximum of 1,350 rpm or revolutions per minute.

The model number starts with an i, indicating that this cooler is only compatible with Intel-sockets. Aside from socket 1151 and other 115x-sockets, you can use this on socket 2011(-3). AMD-users cannot use this particular cooler, although the Freezer A32 is suited for usage with AMD-CPUs. By not supplying AMD-brackets the cost of the cooler can be slightly lower than usual.
