Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360mm AIO Cooler Review
Peter Donnell / 9 months ago
Today’s review is a pretty big deal, as the now older Arctic Liquid Freezer II CPU liquid cooler is regarded as one of the best AIO coolers money can buy. Not only was it competitive in its cooling performance, it was also very competitive on price. I guess the only downside was it wasn’t the prettiest cooler on the market. Check out the picture below, it’s not ugly, but it’s quite a busy design for sure.
The new and improved Arctic Liquid Freezer III features a new and improved design that aims to bring its value, performance and aesthetics up to speed for 2024 and beyond, and I honestly am expecting this to be one of the best coolers we’ve ever tested, and that’s a pretty tall order given that the last two years alone have seen some pretty exceptional cooling hardware hit the market.
With a thicker radiator, pre-installed high-performance Arctic P-Fans, a unique VRM cooling CPU block fan, and a clever CPU block that requires the removable of the stock CPU retention frame for LGA1700 motherboards (the little silver lid and arm that holds the CPU into the socket), and available in 240, 280, 380 and 420mm variants, the Arctic Freezer III seems to be going all-out to push performance to the next level.
