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

This unit works great for me. Easy to install (just make sure your case can hold it, since it is a large item). The online manual is easy to understand and follow. I have a 5800x AMD and it keeps it around 32C (89F) idle and when gaming it hits about 50-55C (122F-131F) which is very good vs my previous fan cooling. I had a Lian Li GA Trinity Performance 360 AIO previous to this, unfortunately my Lian Li pump decided to break after 4 months and I had to get it replaced, but I got this item before I received my replacement and this performs on par with the Lian Li (although I will admit the Lian Li did cool my system a few degree's better) but this AIO does a great job and I had zero problems with it so far. It is a little loud but that is due to my fan curve that I have set, if you are less aggressive in your setting it is very quiet. This one doesnt have any lights which is fine for my purpose. For the price ($80) it is a great buy, more reliable than the Lian Li AIO, even though that unit cooled my system better and I really liked their L-Connect software, you just cant put a price on peace of mind which this gives you hands down. Just note for those looking to go into the AIO market, you have to realize the life span of these are only about 5-6 years and then will need to be replaced because it is not refillable. Still worth the buy, $80 over 5 years of keeping a system cool with little to no maintenance is a win for me and I wont go back to fan cooling anymore (these units keep the temps lower by 15C (59F) on average). Excellent product.

Installed the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 and it performs great. Temps dropped noticeably under load and it stays surprisingly quiet for a 360mm AIO. Build quality feels solid, fans are smooth, and the installation was straightforward with everything included. Great performance for the price.

So for those that do not want to read the review, I'll just say it is an excellent CPU water cooler, and a must if you have a higher end CPU that likes to run hot. Now for those that want to read more, here's my review: Before I start with the details, I definitely need to stress that is imperative that you measure your case before purchasing this CPU cooler, since the manufacturer isn't lying, it requires a lot of space. That being said, if you have a case that can handle it, it works great and keeps the CPU nice and cool. Okay so on to the review. The reason I purchased the Artic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro is after building a new system with an Intel Core I9 processor, I found that the CPU cooler I purchased for it (Cooler Master 120L) wasn't really rated for such a powerful CPU, and under load the CPU temp was hitting 85c. Now 85c isn't a killer if it's just a quick spike, but when doing video encoding it was hitting and staying at that temp, which just isn't good for the CPU. So doing a little more research, I saw that Artic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro got great reviews, and was recommended for high end processors like the I9. Installing the Artic 3 Pro is extremely easy, unfortunately I built the system in a smaller full size tower case, and the new CPU cooler wouldn't fit the chassis. Luckily my secondary machine was in an even bigger chassis, and it turns out it had mounting holes and rubber grommets already there to mount the Artic 3 Pro. So after stripping the 2 systems bare and swapping all of the components, booted up the new system with the Artic 3 Pro and checked the temps, and my basic idle temp is 26-28c, a good 10 degrees lower than the idle with the old water cooler. I haven't had a chance to stress it out with some video encoding yet, but I've already noticed that the heat spikes I was seeing previously seem to be gone. So in summary, I love the new CPU water cooler! I did run across one issue that had me worried when I first booted it up, and that was that there was a constant low humming noise that seemed to be coming from the unit. I'd read a couple of other people comments saying there was a low hum, but I figured it was a one off for them. Of course I like my rigs to be as quiet as possible, and since the PC sits right under my desk I knew this was going to drive me nuts. Luckily I was able to figure out the problem, which was the tubes from the CPU to the radiator are long and stiff enough that they were touching the side panel, and the humming sound was the noise from the liquid moving and being amplified by the metal door. Fixed this issue with a few zip ties to move the tubes slightly inward so they didn't contact the door, and now the system is as quiet as can be. I hope this review has been helpful, cheers.

If you value function over aesthetics, the price to performance of this cooler can't be beat. Though I find the all black design without RGB lighting has a clean, sleek look, you may think differently. Compatible with most CPUs on the market, this cooler is better suited for AMD AM4/AM5 processors. When installing with Intel CPUs, it requires you to use their contact frame. This is supposed to help flatten the IHS for better contact, but their contact frame isn't that great. You may think you can just get a better contact frame, but that is not possible as the included contact frame has mounting points that no other frame offers. Both AMD and Intel use an offset mount which targets the hot spot of the CPU, helping to cool the processor more effectively. The three included P12 Pro 120mm fans are quite good. They provide ample airflow, have good static pressure and at low RPMs are near silent. Even at 1000-1500 RPMs the noise level is good. The VRM fan on the pump is also pretty quiet at low RPMs, and helps cool nearby components. The pump is near silent even at full speed. The included fan/VRM/pump cables had excellent length to them, making it easy to route and cable manage. The install procedure is where this loses a star. It was incredibly frustrating to mount, I had to take a few minutes to collect myself. There are 2 points you have to screw down, and it took me several tries to successfully install. I would get one screw started a couple turns, and go to get the other and tweak the position until I think I got it started and go back to the other side, only for it to pop out of place. I went through this a handful of times before I was able to finally get it installed. The pump mount definitely needs a rework. Another thing to consider is compatibility with your case and motherboard. The radiator is 38mm thick and with the 25mm thick fans it has a combined thickness of 63mm. This is too thick for many cases, so check your case manual/website before purchasing. Additionally, the pump can only be mounted in 1 orientation, which may conflict with other components in your PC, such as your top m.2 SSD mount. This is an easy "shut up and take my money" recommendation despite the frustrating install experience. The value of this AIO is insane for its performance, and I'm quite happy with it. If you're thinking of pairing this with an Intel CPU, you'll probably be OK; though due to the contact frame, personally, I would consider a different cooler.

So far with my new CPU in this cooler, I haven’t been able to even push it to the limit and hear the fans going hard once. Keeping everything cool with a minimal noise and it looks good too was really easy to mount onto my case. I have a fan case from a few years ago, the P500. I snagged this one on sale and it was a good price.

finally got my PC built with this and it is super quiet. The radiator may be overkill, but it's nice to have all those fans add to the cooling of my PC. it looks sleek, was compatible for my Full ATX case, top Quality, and the screws supplied are of good quality for mounting the radiator block. kind of a pain to install the pump/heatsink onto the CPU, but otherwise no issues at all.

For the price, this has to be one of the best aio liquid coolers available. I switched from a similar sized Corsair aio cooler in an effort to break away from the iCUE ecosystem (which I hate) and this one was not only cheaper but it out performs it too. I upgraded my CPU to a theoretically hotter running one (it draws substantially more power), but because this cooler is better than my old one it keeps my new CPU cooler than the Corsair cooler did the old CPU (if that makes sense). Installation was okay. I don't think I've ever installed an aio cooler and thought it was super easy, so I would say it's comparable to others I've installed. Overall, I cannot recommend this cooler enough, especially for this price range. I also like the non-RGB option since I have no RGB lights in my current build. Fantastic aio cooler!

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 AIO - I installed this on my nephews new PC we were building with a Ryzen 7900X. It works great and runs very quiet compare to the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE that I recently installed in my sons PC it was also a lot more delicate and difficult to install. The instructions are a guided website that is mostly pictures which as fine for 90% but in my opinion really needed a note to explain what to do with the VRM cable. It turns out it was for a VRM cooling fan and plugged into a standard fan header. The instructions for mounting the water block look as simple as put it in place and screw it down. It took us 45 minutes and smeared the thermal paste all over the place (I highly recommend a thermal paste guard/contact frame). The issue is the screws barely protrude and the spring mechanism points the slightly outward so getting 1 of them to just catch was hard enough but getting the 2nd 1 to catch took an uncomfortable amount of force pushing down on the block and screw to angle it correctly coupled with a lot of luck. I know this is to get even force on the block once it is installed but was so much more difficult than simple spring loaded screws like the Peerless Assassin had. The radiator took time due to a fan direction and getting around the case limitations but over all installed easily enough. the problem is the radiator fins are as soft as clay and get dinged up if ANYTHING even looked at them funny. I think the dings were mostly cosmetic and invisible behind the fans the front grill of the case but I was still annoyed and the Peerless Assassin finds were not nearly as fragile. in summary, the price was great (I payed $90 - wish I had spent another $20 for RGB), the installation was frustrating, but now that it is done I am quite happy because this thing is really quiet and the CPU stays cool. I expect my nephews PC will keep him gaming for years.
