ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 - AIO CPU Cooler, 3 x 120 mm Water Cooling, 38 mm Radiator, PWM Pump, VRM Fan, AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA1851/1700 Contact Frame - Black

what a fantastic cooler. not only cheap for what it is, but also very quiet for the cooling performance. things to know: - it has a deep radiator so needs to be matched with a case that has recessed motherboard mount (like lian li lancool 207) if your mobo has tall vrm radiators. - the cou block might obstruct taller nvme heatsinks, look this up online, arctic provides a full list of boards that it works with. for the boards that don't they can send you free low profile nvme heatsink! these are pretty cheap to buy, but it's a nice gesture. - you can control the pump, vrm fan and radiator fans independently of use single 4pin fan connector to control all 3 at the same time. it's better to control each 3 separately as vrm fan is the loudest one from all the components and does not need to run at full throttle, can be tuned down for even better spund to cooling ratio performance. - you need to be comfortable removing cpu socket from the motherboard. it's a very easy procedure but might be a bit outside of comfort zone for new pc builders. just take it slow and watch some how to videos and you'll get there. - it comes with thermal grease, as well as intel and amd mounting bits. - it can easily cool a cpu that draws about 250W. my core ultra 7 265k is 94 degrees C with this cooler on full power with power limit removed - 265W. that's the limit, any more power to the cpu and you might run into throttling.

Best AIO i have used so far Why did you choose this product over others?: The price and reviews from youtube From what i found out has some of the best cooling and for that price cant go wrong Performance: As i said keeps thing nice and cool Chunky radiator with 3 very good fans Also has a VRM fan which is great Build quality: Very solid build very good quality Look: Looks very nice i got the all black no rgb version looks very nice Thickness: Very thick radiator make sure to check sizes to see if it fits in your case as it is bigger than most AIOs Fit: Fit well in my case as i did check measurements before hand Size: Its very big as i have said before make sure to check measurements of your Case Also very easy to install and pretty quiet aswell

It keeps my i9 14900kf cool, I never thought I’d see the day. Amazing aio! Much better than the fractal one I had before which was allowing the cpu to to constantly hit 100°c while massively underclocked. This beast keeps the cpu at around 80°c on default settings at max load! Mental

If you are looking for a really quiet solution to cool down your CPU, you'd struggle to find something better. If you want the best possible cooling solution and don't mind having a jet engine inside your case, there are better options out there. Over all, I believe it's the best compromise between cooling and noise, hence why it's been voted by most of reviewers as the most efficient cooler (and tends to be even better for AMD CPU's). But, there are a few things to check carefully before you press "Buy" : It can only be mounted in one position, with the tubes "down". If you have a vertically mounted GPU, this might be a nightmare as you'll need to mounted as low as possible to clear the tubes. The radiator it's thicker than the "standard" 25mm, so having it mounted on the top of the case might be tricky as on most of the cases you don't have too much room before it hits the motherboard or cable going into the motherboard. If you don't have the option to offset the radiator, no chance! Front or side mounted (like in my case) should work fine in most cases. When front / side mounted, you want to pull the air from outside the case so the fans will act as intake - again, the radiator it's thick, so you won't get as much intake you'd think with 3 fans. Make sure you don't rely on these as the only intake option. Other components will cry for cold air. The VRM fan does help and you can hardly hear it even at 100%. Set back to about 80% and completely blends in with the other fans.. The pump it's also silent (can't hear it unless my ear it's right next to it) and I'm a bit surprised when reading reviews saying the pump it's loud; maybe quality check issues, or radiator mounted in a wrong (lower than the pump) position? Over all, at least for me, it's the best compromise, not to mention the very good price too. A bit more flexibility when it comes to installing it and it would be a "perfect 5 stars". I'm curious what Arctic will bring with the new model as it looks like they always listen and come up with new ways to improve things! 1st photo at idle and the 2nd with Cinebench R23 running in background. All P cores fixed at 5.3GHz and E Cores at 4.2 GHz, Undervolted -0.110000

Fitted this AIO into my Corsair Carbide 400C Midi Tower, it is a squeeze but it will fit in the front as an in-take. It has dropped my temps by around 30c in high load games on an i5 13600K.. I was using a 9 year old H100i V2 (Corsair) so it's a major improvement. Important Notes; - A small tube of Arctic thermal paste does come with the product, the paste seemed very thick when applying but I used it regardless and all seems fine - It comes with the fans already attached to the radiator in an exhaust set up with the assumption that this will be set up as an exhaust at the top of the case instead of as an in-take at the front of the case. So if you want to use as an in-take, you need to adjust the fans and place them on the other side of the radiator while making sure they are in the correct direction to pull air (there are no arrows on the fans unfortunately, which I will usually find on Corsair fans) - The pump installation is a little different to the usual as you need to remove the original CPU holder/latch and replace this with a different holder. I had no issues as I've done this previously, and used masking tape on the back of the motherboard to hold the template in place while attaching the holder from the other side... (doesn't make sense until you start installing it) Overall an incredible cooler for the price, very impressed and looks great.

It works well once you get it seated correctly and working, but the hell that it took to get this thing installed correctly has to be the worst experience from an AIO install I've ever had. The whole system build (excluding the AIO install) and installing windows (with all updates) took less time than it took me to install this cooler. For those who are thinking about buying it: I am no stranger to building pc's (3 or 4 times every 5 years), and have had some tricky AIO's in the past but this beats them all. It keeps a 9050x3D at around 37c. I didn't clean the paste off and re-apply on last connection due to cable not being connected correctly and had more than enough of dealing with this things nonsense. So it may gain about 2 or 3 more deg, if I done it again but I'm not touching it again, unless it's for a replacement AIO. What I learned (it may help others): 1. There are no instructions 2. I am installing an AMD AM5 CPU 3. The cooler wont fit the correct way on an Asus Strix X870E-E, I had to rotate 180deg (no idea if this is correct, but was a pain fighting with the rad pipe connectors) 4. YouTube installation videos do not show plate orientation, they are designed to sit on flimsy plastic tube things which sit on the corners of the cpu and you screw them down and then screw the pump to the center holes in the plates. This sounds fine but the plates look like they are designed to be rounded way facing up, this is INCORRECT (and is not shown in any support videos), you need to have them so that you can see the L (left) and R (right) letters. 5. The standoff design is terrible, it's a balancing act of trying to hold a screw driver (you better pray it's magnetized) with a screw dangling off it, while you hold the plate in place and DO NOT SCREW IT ALL THE WAY DOWN OR THE PUMP WONT BE ABLE TO REACH THE MOUNTING HOLES!!! 6. The included thermal paste had gone off/hard (luckily I ordered the good stuff anyway) 7. The cable connector is to be plugged in and routed through a space which is not healthy or ideal for the cable. 8. I first used the 1 to 1 included cable, 1 connection to pump, 1 to motherboard, this resulted in the fans and pump locked at 100% (DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED 1 TO 1 CONNECTION CABLE) 9. Using 3 way spilt cable, you better pray your mob connectors are within reach. 10. 3 way cable has labels VRM, Fan & pump. Vrm goes to cpu_opt, fan to any cha fan, pump to aio 11. Make sure you plug the cable in correctly, use a flat head screw driver to give it a push in, it doesn't clip, there's no click etc, I had to dismantle and re-seat due to this, on my very last attempt to get this working correctly, after this I was going to send it back. I really wish I hadn't bought it. Now sat at 37c and I'm sure I put my motherboard through hell mounting this thing... SUMMARY DO NOT BUY, it just simply is not worth the 2 hours or more of your time your going to have trying to install this thing correctly. The mounting and seating is awefull for AMD sockets. I really wish I hadn't bought the so called best from Steve on Gamers Nexus reviews for this. He didn't mention anything about the installation issues, but we don't all build PC's 3 times a day. I really wish I hadn't bought this AIO.

Fantastic pre built(fan already installed ) very easy to install AIO. Very quiet when running. Make sure the back metal plate on the motherboard is held in place in fitting AIO base plate

I recently upgraded to the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 360mm AIO in black, and I couldn't be more pleased with the performance improvements over my previous cooler, the NZXT Z73. The installation process was straightforward, and the sleek, non-RGB design was not an issue as I already had RGB fans which perform better than the stock ones (ThermalTake SWAFAN's). In the British summer heat, where ambient temperatures can challenge even the best cooling solutions, the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 has proven its worth. My CPU now idles at a remarkably cool 44°C, a noticeable improvement from the 45°C idle temperatures with the NZXT Z73. Under heavy loads, such as running Cinebench R23, the difference becomes even more pronounced. The Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 keeps my CPU's maximum temperature down to 82°C, compared to the 86°C peak with the NZXT cooler. This cooler isn't just about numbers; it also offers quieter operation, which is a big plus during extended gaming or rendering sessions. The efficiency and performance gains are substantial, making the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 an outstanding choice for anyone looking to enhance their system's cooling capabilities. Overall, the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 360mm AIO has exceeded my expectations. It delivers excellent cooling performance, even under demanding conditions, while maintaining a whisper-quiet profile. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient cooling solution for their high-performance PC build.
