Freezer 4U Altra Build (Image © ARCTIC)
To meet the demands of professional server hardware, the Freezer 4U-Altra features a compact vertical design. With an installation height of 145 mm, the cooler is compatible with standard 4U rack enclosures and 4U workstation enclosures and can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructure without requiring oversized enclosures.
The cooler utilizes a push-pull cooling design with two 120-mm fans. These fans are engineered for high static pressure, which is necessary to efficiently channel air through the heat sink fins under heavy load. Both fans are PWM-controlled and offer a wide speed range, allowing system administrators to fine-tune the balance between cooling performance and power consumption.
Given the demands of server environments, the Freezer 4U-Altra is designed for 24/7 operation. The fans are equipped with dual ball bearings—a design feature aimed at maximizing the hardware’s service life and minimizing failure rates due to friction and wear during prolonged continuous operation.
