The Arctic Liquid Freezer II averaged about 8-10 microns depth from the 0-point, with minimums and maximums at 2 microns and 48 microns. This is an excellent solution as the cable management is far cleaner than what a typical end-user could achieve. This feature works in a way that actively seeks high temperatures: If the chip sees that it is running underneath the 100-degree C threshold, it will increase its performance and power consumption until it reaches the safe 100C limit, thus sustaining higher clocks (and providing better performance) for longer periods. The FPM baseline was 0 – meaning air was almost literally not moving in the room, or at least in the area of the bench.

The series is equipped with a high-density water microchannel and copper finish block to offer efficient thermal conduct along with an Aluminum fin to maximize its cooling performance.

I run push+pull on the upper two fans and push only on the lower fan (no room in chassis), which may or may not help a bit.

Big air coolers are still close by in performance, so for builders who have their heart set on the Noctua NH-D15 or similar, those coolers aren’t invalidated by the Arctic solution. Installation of the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB is not particularly difficult, though it is a little more time consuming than a typical Asetek AIO. The Liquid Freezer II 360, features 3x powerful 120mm Arctic P12 fans to give you outstanding heat transfer driven by high static pressure and outstanding performance making this all in one liquid water cooler perfect for hobbyists or enthusiasts that are looking for superior performance at lower noise levels. A system's motherboard can also influence this, especially if the socket suffers from bending, which results in poor cooler contact with the CPU.

The test is also tough to standardize since every motherboard will have different heatsinks and positioning, so although you can mostly extrapolate out a hierarchy, it’s not perfectly comparable to every configuration. This should only be a problem if you need to mount your radiator prior to mounting the cooler, and that’ll depend on the case.

For the Liquid Freezer II Series, we have used our experience in CPU water cooling to develop a completely new compact water cooling pump. Arctic uses a plastic style for the tubes which is not as clean or premium looking as some of the all-black nylon braided designs from the likes of Fractal and NZXT. Working alone, we found the easiest way to install it was to tape the backplate in place temporarily, then use the requisite two hands to position the cooler and install the screws.

It performs effortlessly with over 200 W of heat to be dissipated, which is why your CPU can be kept cool even in extreme overclocking.

Tänk även på att kylaren är väldigt tjock gämfört med standard 52mm denna är totalt 63mm tjock med fläktar. They mention that it's easy to fit in a Fractal Designs R6 case, the noise levels are very low and does not get annoying. This is especially effective in overclocking scenarios, inadequate VRM cooling or in housings with poor airflow, thus permitting continuously high loads. The all-black, aluminium unit comes in at 38mm-thick which is a sizable increase versus the conventional 27mm-thick units we see from the Asetek stable. This time, however, the A-RGB fans do not need any form of lighting control box and can be synced through a motherboard software tool.In addition, it hides both the A-RGB and PWM cables of your radiator fans thanks to a well thought-out cable management system.
