ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB - 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

I’ve been using this cooler with my AMD 9800X3D and I’m very happy with it. The cooling power is great, and it keeps the CPU running cool while still staying quiet. For my setup, the noise level is very good and the quiet operation is one of the things I like most about it. The build quality feels good and the whole unit looks and feels like a proper product, not something cheap. Installation was fine for me, but because this is a 360mm AIO, the size is something you should check carefully before buying. Make sure your case has enough space and that the compatibility is right for your motherboard and CPU socket. For the price, I think the value for money is excellent. It performs well, it looks nice, and it does the job without being loud. I’m very happy with this choice and would definitely recommend it.

Installed the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB in a recent build and it’s been absolutely spot on. Cooling performance is excellent. The 360mm radiator and 3 x 120mm fans handle load without breaking a sweat. Temps stay impressively low even under heavier workloads, and it’s noticeably quieter than I expected for something moving this much air. Build quality feels solid — the thicker 38mm radiator definitely gives it that “serious bit of kit” feel. Mounting was straightforward, and everything lined up nicely without awkward wrestling inside the case. The A-RGB lighting looks clean and well diffused, not harsh or patchy. Most importantly, it works perfectly with ASUS Aura Sync. Synced up straight away and matches the rest of the system without any RGB software drama (which honestly deserves its own award). Pump noise is minimal, fans ramp smoothly, and overall it just feels premium. If you want strong cooling performance with good aesthetics — especially in an Aura Sync build — this is a fantastic choice. Five stars. Keeps things cool and looks the part doing it.

Very good AIO for the price, I have paired this with the NZXT H6 flow case and arctic fans, they keep my cpu and gpu very cool. Easy to install aswell.

Absolutely amazing cooler. Takes 20 degrees of my 9800x3d in a second and maintains stable 45-50 degrees temperature in heavy 4k gaming mode. Handle cpu spikes very well. Customer service are amazing just be mindful that the pump is a bit bulky and it is not compatible with some motherboards, but arctic customer service will send you for free a new heatsink for your ssd if the original one is blocked by the pump.

It's huge. Is buy it again.

I've been building a core i9 (14900k) machine for local LLMs and used this as the cooling solution for the CPU. I have to say I am impressed! The 12th gen i9 is known for overheating and yet i've barely known it to throttle because of overtemp since this AIO was fitted. It comes with all the bits required for modern builds including the thermal paste. You do need to change the bracket on the motherboard which can be fiddly if already in the case (as mine was) but not a deal breaker (for me anyway). Fans and LEDs daisy chain so only one plug for fans and one for LEDs is required from the motherboard. The fans can be noisy when they crank up to full power - but the machine is in a small room - but virtually silent otherwise. I chose this model in particular because of the VRM fan and this does seem to be beneficial in keeping their temps within a decent range even under heavy use. All in all this seems to be an excellent cooling solution - even for rather warm i9s.

Cooler performs great, keeps temps to a nice consistent 50c with very little tweaking of the fan curves, could probably get it lower if I tried, but I can't really be bothered, massive improvement from just air cooling. Unfortunately the product arrived with an AMD mounting bracket that had one of the two brackets dethreaded, and as a result was unable to install, after hours of frustration, however, a quick chat with Arctic's customer service soon saw them ship a replacement AMD mounting Bracket Pack free of charge, and when this arrived, the cooling block just popped on with no issue, however, lots of people do report that installing the cooling block to the motherboard is a nightmare, and I can see how as it may not be obvious that the bracket is dethreaded. I do suggest however, that you install the radiator with the pipes coming from the front of the case if you do a top mount, otherwise the lack of flexibility in the tubes will make mounting the cooling block harder than it has to be, and may even interfere with your side panel.

Arrived quickly looks amazing and is helping my pc keep a lot cooler than my old cooling system

Excellent AIO 360mm qui vient remplacer mon 240mm. J’ai gagné 18°c par rapport à mon ancien AIO en full charge Cinebench R23. Je suis fan 😁👌

Super bra

Nice and powerful cooler, easy installation

Je vais essayer de faire un avis qui serve vraiment à quelqu'un qui hésite, parce que quand j'ai cherché des retours avant d'acheter j'avais du mal à trouver des gens qui comparaient vraiment le 240 et le 360 avec du vécu. Donc voilà mon expérience complète. J'avais avant un AIO 240mm et je me disais que le 360 c'était un peu overkill, que la différence serait minime et que c'était surtout du marketing pour justifier un prix plus élevé. Spoiler : j'avais complètement tort. La différence en termes de températures est vraiment visible et mesurable. Mon CPU tourne nettement plus frais en charge, que ce soit en gaming prolongé ou quand je fais tourner des trucs plus lourds en arrière plan. Ce qui change surtout c'est la gestion des pics thermiques, là où mon 240 commençait à montrer ses limites lors de charges soudaines et intenses, le 360 absorbe ça sans broncher. La courbe de température est beaucoup plus stable et c'est ça qui fait vraiment la différence au quotidien, pas juste le chiffre max affiché dans HWinfo. Côté Arctic spécifiquement, la qualité de fabrication est vraiment sérieuse. Le pompe est silencieuse, les ventilateurs aussi à des vitesses raisonnables. J'avais lu des retours sur des bruits de pompe sur certains AIO concurrents et franchement sur celui là rien à signaler, même en tendant l'oreille. La pâte thermique fournie est déjà appliquée sur le waterblock ce qui simplifie le montage et c'est une bonne pâte, pas de la pâte bas de gamme juste pour dire qu'elle est incluse. Le montage en lui même est clair, Arctic fait des efforts sur ce point depuis quelques générations et ça se ressent. Les pièces sont bien identifiées, le manuel est lisible, et le système de fixation est solide une fois en place. Rien de frustrant comme on peut parfois avoir avec d'autres marques où on passe 45 minutes à comprendre quelle vis va où. L'aspect RGB A-RGB fonctionne bien aussi, compatible avec les logiciels classiques, les couleurs sont uniformes sur les trois ventilateurs ce qui est pas toujours le cas selon les marques. Bref si vous hésitez entre rester sur un 240 et passer au 360, faites le saut. La différence est réelle, pas anecdotique, et Arctic est clairement une des meilleures marques sur ce segment rapport qualité prix. Aucun regret.

The "Bottom Line" If you are looking for an AIO that can tame an i9-12900K without breaking the bank, this is it. After upgrading my cooling solution, my Cinebench R23 score jumped by over 1,000 points (hitting 26,121), purely because the thermal headroom allowed the CPU to maintain higher boost clocks for longer. Performance Highlights: Thermal Mastery: Under 100% synthetic load (Cinebench R23), the CPU package temperature peaked at a healthy 81°C, while individual cores stayed at a remarkably cool 71°C.The "38mm" Advantage: Unlike standard 27mm radiators, Arctic uses a 38mm thick radiator. This extra mass acts as a massive "heat soak," which is perfect for long DaVinci Resolve rendering sessions where lesser coolers would heat up and throttle.VRM Cooling: The unique fan integrated into the pump block is a lifesaver for the ASUS Z690-F's power delivery, keeping the motherboard components around the CPU noticeably cooler. Pros: Pre-Installed Fans: Comes out of the box with fans already mounted and cables managed through the tubing. Silent Power: Even at high RPMs, the pump noise is virtually non-existent. Contact Frame Included: It ships with its own Intel Contact Frame, ensuring perfectly even pressure across the i9’s heat spreader. Cons: Thickness: At 38mm (plus fans), it is a "thick" unit. In my build, it slightly blocked access to the rear chassis fan header, so ensure your case has the top-mount clearance! Final Verdict: 10/10 for performance-per rupee. It turned my workstation into a thermal fortress.
