ARCTIC has launched the Freezer 4U-Altra, a new air cooler designed specifically for Ampere Altra processors using the LGA4926 socket. This marks ARCTIC's expansion into the server cooling market with a solution targeting high-performance computing environments that demand reliable thermal management.

The cooler stands just 145 mm tall, allowing installation in standard 4U server racks and cases where space is at a premium. Two PWM-controlled 120 mm fans operate in push-pull configuration, delivering high static pressure while keeping noise levels reasonable. Dual ball bearings provide extended lifespan for continuous 24/7 operation typical in server deployments.

Priced at $55.49 (down from an $80.49 MSRP), the Freezer 4U-Altra positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to liquid cooling solutions. Available through Amazon, eBay, and authorized retailers, it targets system builders and IT professionals working with Ampere's Altra platform.

This release addresses growing demand for specialized cooling in ARM-based server applications, where traditional Intel/AMD solutions fall short. ARCTIC's entry suggests the server cooling market is heating up enough to support dedicated product lines.
