ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 - AIO CPU Cooler,3 x 120 mm Water Cooling

I have been using Arctic Cooling AIOs for a few years and they have not disappointed me! I had bought one of the affected Liquid Freezer II 360 units where the rubbery fluid guide inside the AIO block was faulty and they shipped a free kit to fix the issue (I replaced rubbery one with new silicone piece and baseplate, with works as good as ever). I like that they have a thicker radiator (38mm vs 25mm, more fluid to transfer heat to). The fit and finish is good, the VRM fan does work for lower VRM temps meaningfully. My only complaint for the previous model is the mounting system, it can be tricky getting bolts tightened evenly. Many mounting systems us springs which have some give because you tighten the Liquid Freezer II in four places. For the Liquid Freezer III, they fixed that issue and now you tighten in two places and there is a pre-curved, springy plate. The only con with the Liquid Freezer III, and it can be resolved with fan controller customization, is the noise. The Liquid Freezer II was very quiet for its level of performance, the Liquid Freezer III, on the other hand, is a bit noisy. If you have a hot CPU (looking at you Intel), this cooler will do a stellar job of taming it, but the cost is noise. I got a Coolermaster Elite Liquid 240 AIO and it gets so loud at full fan speed, obnoxiously loud, worse than the Arctic Freezer III Pro series coolers! Bottom line, I highly recommend the Arctic Freezer III Pro series coolers, just don’t forget the fan control to fine tune them to cut down on unnecessary noise.

I don’t know how to click 4 1/2 stars, so I’ll just say 4 1/2 stars. It is insanely good at what it does, you should check clearances with your case though because it is GINORMOUS. It is easy to hook up the fans, it’s only one cable. It looks very clean. My only complaint is it is quite difficult to install, so I would recommend leaving the bracket a bit loose while you tighten the pump onto the cpu brackets than tightening them fully afterwards. I have no doubt this thing could cool a stovetop to 30 degrees Celsius at max fan speed. Make sure to adjust the fan speed in your bios because for some reason the default is max RPM all the time. Insanely good value too.

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.

Works well once installed. The install was a bit tricky. It's really hard to get the spring-loaded, water block screws into the AMD CPU bracket. Alignment was a little off and felt like I was going to break my CPU/MB. I finally figured out that you can loosen the top screws of the right and left brackets to give them a bit more wiggle room to get the waterblock screws started, then tighten everything down a little at a time. I planned on putting it in the front of my case as an intake. It's set up for exhaust and I didn't notice until after install. Okay so I read the online directions and it says to flip the fans. Looks like intake/pull is the only option in the directions. Get it installed a second time. Now the fans are screaming loud. Hmmm did I break something? Return it to factory set up and the fan wining goes away. So looks like the fans don't like being in pull configuration so close to the radiator. Finally decide I need to just figure it out on my own since both options were unacceptable. Messed with it for a total of about 5hr installing it and unistalling until I was happy. I flipped the fans to the other side of the radiator and ran the fan mount screws through the case, fans, and into the rad. This was tricky to install but worked with stock screws. Now I am happy and my temps have dropped about 12C on a lightly OC'd 9800x3d in cinebench coming from an old Noctua NH-D15! A tiny bit louder but that can probably be tuned out with fan curves. Case is an old fractal design define S. Was able to mount the radiator tubes down with a asus prime 5080 in the way.

I purchased the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 in July for under $70 and paired it with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D on an MSI PRO X870E-P WiFi motherboard. After roughly two months of use, I’ve been very happy with its performance. Installation was straightforward, and everything needed for the AM5 platform was included. The mounting hardware felt secure, and once installed, the cooler has required no adjustments or maintenance. Cooling performance has exceeded my expectations. My Ryzen 7 9800X3D typically idles between 37°C and 46°C, and during sustained 100% CPU stress tests, temperatures remain between 64°C and 70°C. During normal gaming, temperatures stay comfortably below those values, leaving plenty of thermal headroom while maintaining consistent performance. Another thing I appreciate is the overall noise level. The fans and pump remain quiet during everyday use and only become noticeable under heavier workloads, without sounding excessive or distracting. Considering the performance, build quality, and included hardware, it’s difficult to find a better value at this price point. For under $70, this cooler delivers exactly what I was looking for. It keeps my 9800X3D cool under load, runs quietly, and has been completely reliable since installation. I would absolutely purchase it again.

It has been treating my 9950x3D pretty well highest temps I saw during heavy loads is 76 degrees Celsius. Nice simple design especially if your trying to minimize the amount of RGB you have in your PC. It's performance is pretty solid. Only gripe with it is when you build with it, apparently AM5 gives it a little trouble when trying to clamp down to the standoffs, though I recommend not tighten your standoffs on the board too much and allow it to have a little bit of wiggle room so you could attach the bracket easily, everything else like the fans, radiator, and plugging into your motherboard is easy.

This works as intended. Cooling an Ryzen 9950X it keeps the temps down without feeling like I'm in a wind tunnel even when it does ramp up. This replaced the NZXT 240 that just couldn't seem to keep up without having to keep the fans cranked up to 11 all the time. Few things to note if you plan on purchasing: The radiator is HUGE. Make sure you have measured for your case before buying. I have an older NZXT FULL TOWER and still had to install this on the front instead of the top due to clearance issues. Not a big deal but it wasn't fun having to tear everything down to get it to fit. The pump only mounts the one way. And like the old AMD Coolers of the past - its a huge PITA to get to screw down correctly. You'll catch the one side then it'll pop out once you try screwing down the other side of the mounting bracket. I was able to get it on fairly easily but my brother had a rough go of it with his. And although I didn't experience this. Some people have complained about "pump whine" I was lucky and don't have this issue its quiet. IF you do get one - it'll be this annoying buzz noise that's always in the background unless you have the volume up. No software. There is no software as there is no USB interface with this cooler. It's all ran from your motherboard BIOS. I have a newer x870e AMD chipset. And SignalRGB isn't supported yet as of writing this review. I have to use the MSI Center software to sort of control fan curves/pump speeds. Overall though this is a BEEFY cooler. If it can't keep your CPU cool? Then nothing can.

Having tried this on 12700k, 285k, 9900x, and 9950x3d, here's my honest review. This cooler performance rocks on intel CPUs. The temps go really low and the cooler is not too loud. It does get noisy at full load, but not too loud. However, I'd not recommend this for 285k because you'll be removing the Reduced Load ILM feature of the socket when you mount it with a contact frame (removing basically doesn't guarantee the factory state if you reassemble). However, for 14th gen and below (which will need a contact frame anyways), this cooler is the best cooler I'd get all the time. For AMDs though, they still cool the CPU really well, but gets really loud. This may be the case for only the 9900x and 9950x3d I've tested, so take this with a grain of salt if you're using lower gen or different AMD CPUs. At full load, this cooler is by far the noisiest cooler I've used, making a noise like a jet engine. I won't really care too much if it was just occasionally loud at higher load, but this cooler also occasionally gets extremely loud at idle state. I suspect it's from temp spikes, and AMDs of course have a smaller surface area and denser hotspot compared to intel. I noticed that I'm not the only person experiencing this, there's a famous youtube video comparing AIO performance, and this issue is exactly replicated. The video even used three Artic LF III to mitigate defective unit possibility, but all performed exactly the same for the 9800x3d, having very high noise levels. I suspect it's something to do with the mounting frame not so secure for AMD motherboards, but this needs investigation. Aside from Intel vs AMD comparison, this cooler does offer a very straightforward cabling, you can either choose to simply plug one cable to your CPU_FAN header, and it's done. Also, the fans are pre-assembled and cleanly cable-managed which is excellent. So my final verdict would be: hands down the best cooler for intel CPUs equal or below 14th gen, cant fully recommend for AMDs. This is because the cooler performance doesn't drastically differ from others (1~2C at max), and you won't really notice the difference given the environmental factors that'll affect the most. So personally, I'd rather choose the most quiet cooler, and this LC is a bit of a mix.

This aio is very good. It does a good job cooling my 9800x3d and keeps things cool even with 6 or 7 hour gaming sessions. It was easy to install and the sound of the fans is minimal after some minor tweaking with the fan curve. I really recommend this to anyone looking for a dependable and hard working aio

Se avete seguito l'evoluzione dei dissipatori AIO, sapete che Arctic è una garanzia, ma con questa serie III hanno superato se stessi. L'ho scelto per raffreddare il mio nuovo Intel Core Ultra 7 265K e i risultati sono semplicemente sbalorditivi per questa fascia di prezzo. ​ Una delle novità più interessanti è l'inclusione del contact frame specifico per il socket LGA 1851/1700. Invece del solito sistema a staffe, si sostituisce direttamente il meccanismo di ritenzione della scheda madre. L'installazione richiede un minimo di manualità in più, ma garantisce una pressione perfetta sul processore, eliminando i problemi di curvatura del chip. Sulla mia B860-Plus si monta perfettamente, anche se lo spazio intorno ai VRM è millimetrico. ​ Per quel che riguarda prestazioni termiche e silenziosità l'Arctic brilla. Mantiene l'Ultra 7 a temperature incredibili: in idle siamo sui 30°C e sotto carico pesante in rendering non ho mai visto la CPU superare i 75-78°C. Il radiatore da 360mm ha una massa radiante generosa e la ventolina dedicata sulla pompa non è solo marketing: aiuta davvero a tenere fresche le fasi di alimentazione della scheda madre, cosa fondamentale se non usate una top di gamma. ​ Il design è molto "industriale" e massiccio, deve piacere. Un enorme pro è la gestione dei cavi: le ventole sono già pre-cablate lungo i tubi e arrivano alla pompa, quindi avrete solo uno o due cavi da collegare alla scheda madre. Un paradiso per il cable management. ​ Cosa sapere prima di comprare: ​- Spessore: Il radiatore è più spesso della media (38mm + ventole). Assicuratevi che il vostro case abbia spazio a sufficienza sul top, altrimenti rischiate che tocchi le RAM o i dissipatori della mobo (io ho dovuto tagliare un angolo dell'AIO per questo motivo) ​- Tubi: Sono belli rigidi e di qualità, ma richiedono un po' di spazio per essere piegati correttamente. ​ Difficile trovare di meglio, anche spendendo il doppio. È potente, silenzioso e risolve alla radice i problemi di contatto dei nuovi processori Intel. Se avete spazio nel case, è la scelta definitiva per chi cerca prestazioni da workstation senza il rumore di una turbina.
