Conclusions

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 11 LP has a cheap aspect from the start, beginning with its package. This situation isn’t helped by the preapplied thermal compound or by the installation procedure without using a backplate.
The main problem, however, is that the Freezer 11 LP doesn’t provide a good performance. It kept our CPU about 10° C cooler than the Intel stock cooler, which is not too much considering this stock cooler is very "weak". On the other hand, the good news is that the Freezer 11 LP is a very quiet CPU cooler.
The only situation where the Freezer 11 LP can be a good choice is for near-silent HTPCs with low-profile cases and low-consuption CPUs. If this is not your case, you must look for a different product.
