The delivery of the Arctic Freezer 8A …

Our test model is the Freezer 8A, whose packaging continues the new design that we already know from Arctic’s top water cooling system, the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro.

On the side you will find a link to the Freezer 8A product page.

The package contents are listed opposite and a link to Arctic’s support page is printed.

There is a link to the online installation instructions on the lid, which contains lots of helpful information on installing the cooler. It never hurts to take a look.

The technical data of the Freezer 8A can be found on the back.

On the subpage you will find the contact addresses of Arctic and information on recycling and CO2 compensation.

Inside the packaging, everything is neatly separated with cardboard and thus optimally protected during transportation. Fortunately, there is no plastic at all – very exemplary! However, you should avoid touching the pre-applied thermal paste with your finger, as there is also no protective film on the paste.
