Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 ARGB
5. Conclusion
The Arctic Liquid Freezer series is already a proven and very popular product for many users since it combines great retail price and performance. The new liquid Freezer III series features some improvements but more or less similar performance levels since the same 140mm fans are being used as with the Liquid Freezer II series. The retail package is complete and very well secured for transportation hazards.
The Liquid Freezer III series comes in various dimensions starting from 240/280/360/420mm radiator size and various colors for users to choose from. Installation is easy to perform, provided that you have a basic understanding of mounting CPU coolers and of course by looking at the online mounting guide/video that Arctic offers. The good thing is that the product comes pre-assembled, meaning you won't have much trouble or spend time to get everything started. With the Freezer III series, Arctic has re-designed the CPU pump / VRMM fan solution, which now comes in small dimensions, and the outer cover is magnetically attached. There is only one cable that comes out of the pump and connects to the motherboard CPU fan header or you can split it into three headers for better and more manual tuning. The ARGB header is a standard 3-pin cable that is compatible with most motherboard manufacturers' solutions.
Passing to the performance area, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB is very close to what the Liquid Freezer II 280 A-RGB can perform, at least without a test system (AMD AM5 7950X). Even when high overclocking the CPU, the Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB will keep temperatures under control. It can outperform even big air coolers that we have already tested. With the reduced price of 82 Euro from 124 Euro (normal price), we can highly suggest this product to all users who wish to get into AIO cooling with style and performance. The 6-year warranty is another big bonus so hurry up to get this product with the reduced price.
