Description

Ready out of the box - Easy installation

The Liquid Freezer III is ready for immediate use thanks to the pre-installed radiator fans in a push configuration. The fan cables are integrated into the tubing housing, so only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard. With the included MX-6 thermal compound, you have everything you need for quick and easy installation.

Future-proof compatibility

The Liquid Freezer III is highly compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will release their new Arrow Lake processors in the LGA1851 socket in the future. ARCTIC customers do not need to worry that the new processors will require new coolers. We guarantee full compatibility. All Liquid Freezer III coolers can be used with Intel's new LGA1851 socket without any restrictions.

Excellent Performance

In independent tests, the Liquid Freezer III stands out clearly from the competition in all price categories, especially due to its exceptional performance. In tests with normalized noise, the Liquid Freezer III shows its true power, surpassing many competitors with its silent yet powerful operation.

Contact frame for Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851

The Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) of Intel distorts the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kilograms. This causes pressure on the PCB, the die, and the thermal interface material between the die and the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). With high thermal loads, this can lead to long-term issues. 

The mounting frame from ARCTIC does not distort the CPU, significantly reduces the mechanical load on the CPU, is quick and easy to install, and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the backplate of the CPU. As a result, mechanical stress on the motherboard and CPU is minimized, cooling performance remains stable, and installation is quick and easy.

Silent and powerful VRM fan

Voltage converters on motherboards often operate at their maximum temperature in combination with power-hungry CPUs. To counteract the lack of airflow from a tower cooler, the Liquid Freezer III operates with a revised VRM fan. The 60 mm fan with PWM control allows for almost silent cooling of the socket area when VRM cooling is insufficient, in cases of poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios. This allows for a consistently higher load and longer lifespan for the voltage converters.

Optimized, Home Developed Water Pump

The Liquid Freezer III is equipped with a specially advanced water pump controlled by PWM, which has been further optimized for performance and noise. Thanks to the improved cold plate with an extended fin surface and the optimized water tubes, the Liquid Freezer III increases its performance while maintaining quiet operation.

Full Control or Simple Control

Two connection cables - two control options:

Distinct regulation: The pump, VRM fan, and cooler fan can be independently adjusted from each other. This allows, for example, controlling the speed of the VRM fan independently from the CPU and analog temperature regulation of the voltage converters via PWM.

All-in-One: Like the Liquid Freezer II, this allows control of the entire unit through a single connection, from which the speed of the cooler fans is extracted. Therefore, the pump, VRM, and cooler fans can be easily controlled through a unified PWM setting.

Native Offset AMD Installation

For several generations now, AMD has been using a multi-die chiplet design for Ryzen desktop processors. Unlike Intel CPUs, the hotspot on these processors is not centrally located under the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader), but slightly shifted. Therefore, AMD's mounting solution has a 5mm offset to achieve optimal heat dissipation.

Improved radiator design

The cooling surface of the radiator, 38 mm thick, has been expanded by 23% with the increase in fin stack. This allows not only improved heat dissipation, but also a larger volume of liquid. Consequently, heat buildup in the liquid cooling system is slowed down and power and temperature spikes can be effectively managed for a longer period of time.

High Static Pressure

The ARCTIC is based on the well-tested P fans, which have already received many awards for their exceptional performance. The P series is particularly suitable for use in coolers and heat sinks with high fin density. Thanks to their high static pressure, they achieve significantly better results compared to fans designed for high air circulation.

Limited Compatibility with Few Motherboards

Some motherboards are not compatible with the Liquid Freezer III due to oversized SSD coolers in the M.2_1 slot. We provide a suitable M.2 cooler for affected motherboards free of charge.

Addressable LED for all requirements

The ARCTIC uses standardized 3-pin cables instead of proprietary connectors. This not only ensures compatibility with most lighting systems for motherboards, cases, controllers, and accessories, but also allows software-based control with the most common control programs. The daisy-chain function also ensures that each LED can display a separate color at any time, offering countless combination options for every preference.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    The only thing I have to say is that the base does not cover the entire processor.. It leaves about half a centimeter at the top.. However, it seems to cool very well

    -12 degrees from air cooling is a good difference. Because the radiator is a little thick, it didn't fit in push exhaust on top but it's easy to turn the fans around and I put it in pull intake in the front.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    Having decided to upgrade my system's cooling, I chose the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 in white color and I can say that I am absolutely satisfied. The cooler's performance is excellent, keeping the Ryzen 5 7600 at comfortable temperatures between 30°C to 40°C at idle and around 50°C during gaming. Besides the performance, the cooler is also very beautiful. However, the compatibility with your motherboard needs to be checked, as it does not fit all motherboards. Installation on the AM5 platform requires patience and I find it quite difficult. I would recommend checking Arctic's page on Youtube to see the installation before proceeding. Also, it is offset as it cools the processor better. I recommend keeping an eye on Arctic's page for deals. Mine was purchased for €85 and delivered within a week. The cooler fits comfortably in the Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB case, whether it is the 240 or the 360 model. I highly recommend it.

    Amazing liquid cooling. Noticeable difference from the previous version! I had a factory cooler on the 5600G and decided to switch to liquid cooling to have room for the next processor. It dropped from 33 degrees at idle to 22. In cinebench R23, it reached a maximum of 60 degrees with overclock at 4500Mhz!
