The new GOAT - Arctic Liquid Freezer III Review
Переглядів 177,458
День томуThe Arctic Liquid Freezer III is here and its supposed to be even better than the Liquid Freezer II. But when it comes to the Liquid Freezer III vs Liquid Freezer II is there really enough to many upgrading necessary to get the best CPU cooling? Well, with the Liquid Freezer III price the way it is along with Intel LGA 1700 and AM5 mounting optimizations this might be the GOAT CPU cooler.

A few small things we needed to add here. A) The version tested is the 240mm B) At 9:19 - Intel 253W testing while the chart is correct the legend is incorrect. The top two coolers should be the LFIII and LFII, NOT the Pure Loop

One thing I have to mention about Arctic is the outstanding customer support. Noctua is the only company in the fan and cooler space that does it better. I needed radiator screws for my Arctic fans bc the ones included were too short, 1 week later with no further questions asked they were in my mailbox at no cost. I didn't expect that from a company with these competitive prices.

I can also vouch for their customer support, I had some incompatibilities with the AM4 mounting hardware on my Freezer 34 Esports and got the corrected screws without any fuss.

I've said it in the 240 Roundup but i need to say it again considering that it seems like you're carrying this over for future individual AiO Reviews : the fan normalized testing is an absolute gamechanger. That way individuals like me, who are set on their favorite fans, can compare between each individual AiO without having the variance factor fans included in the testing. Again : absolute gamechanger, hats off guys! Absolutely nailed it.

Honestly pretty much proves how much you're overpaying for other AIOs. £62 right now for the LED, £53 for the non-LED, absurd pricing and a no-brainer.
@trsskater 14 днів тому
The LED vs non LED AIOs isn't that bad. You can get non LED fans for $10 and ARGB is $30 and that is absurd. When they add a screen to the water block that no one needs and they are making that the standard rather than just one version of it. That adds an extra $100 to the price which is also absurd.

Also, Artic has a lot of goodwill (with me at least) from their previous handling of issues with the Freezer II. When the issue with gaskets gunking up the cold plate was discovered, Arctic reached out to the media to spread info about their recall and provided the public/reviewers with info about the problem and how to get any bad units fixed/replaced. This is why I am actually going to jump on their introduction offer now and get the black 280 Freezer III in preparation for a future build down the line.

I tried 320W setting on BIOS, and I was able to get it to hover around 87c to 95c no Thermal throttling. Amazing combination. One thing I can say though is that with the P12 Max it is loud cause it can run at 3000rpm the moment the CPU heats up. With the standard fans it was tolerable. Overall I'm happy with my Arctic 360 III with the P12 Max combo. 👍

I measured that I only got about 62mm clearance for radiator/fans and the one I was gonna buy, Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 is about 67mm in thickness. Currently running it with the Deepcool AK400 Digital, but it's idling around 55C and goes all the way up to 88-89C at heavy load which I feel is alittle too hot. Maybe a bigger twin tower air cooler could keep it cold also? Really wish Arctic made a "slim" version of their AIO as their current models are pretty thick compared to most others.

I have a 13900k and a Freezer II 280 with a Thermalright Contact frame. I use Liquid metal from Thermal Grizzly and undervolted the i9 that keeps it at around 280W at Cinebench full load with full turbo boost permanently. The Freezer II keeps the CPU at 88°C peak core in a 23°C environment. I have now ordered the LF III because of the looks and white color that fits my system better. Will keep the rest the same. I just hope the latest contact frame will perform as good as the Thermalright and I hope for 2-3°C less like GN has tested compared to the LF II. This would give me that last little bit of delta to handle the power in summer at 35°C in my apartment :D

The main problem for mini-itx systems will be not the pump, but a 38 mm radiator. Not so many okayish mini-itx cases are on the market which will fit it inside with fans. 27mm vs 38mm is a huge difference in mini-itx systems.

If you are doing 280, go for Jonsbo HF1415 (Available in 120 and both black or white frame). Both slim fans do not have the pertinent issue of slim fans where the blades are too close to the intake surface that cause that annoying scratching sound against chassis ie Arctic Slim fans.

@@HardwareCanucks Technically I would prefer to cut the NR200 max top cover than to replace it with slim fans. What you definitely don't want to do is lose the efficiency of cooling in a mini-itx case with these hot-as-hell Intel chips, even after undervolting. Slim fans are definitely not for AIO. Currently using Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM for intake. They are not bad, but you lose too much performance even with simple intake airflow, even don't want to talk about static pressure for water cooling. They will fail with AIO.

This is gonna be a huge upgrade for me coming from an older DeepCool 120mm AIO. Which is actually very good and enough for the Ryzen 2600 and 5600 I've been running (on auto). But I still want to make it even easier on the CPU (and I might still upgrade to a heavier one later). - This was, in my particular literal case, I can also put a 140mm exhaust-fan instead of the 120mm radiator that's keeping that spot occupied now, and then instead of the two 140mm Arctic Cooling exhaust-fans I have in the top, I will put the Freezer III. - Is it necessary?... Not really. But it will be an improvement and I like to change things around and see what happens.

I wonder if these will be made without the fans....but i guess that would add extra proceedures to troubleshooting and RMA
@-Noble 2 місяці тому
only thing i can complain about is i wish we could have a different pump cover design, and that we were able to mount it without their intel frame other than that, heck, even despite that, it's really good

Do i need to buy two noctuna fans, or is it unercersary? IF so, which one should i buy for 280 mm aio?
@lemonshire1 2 місяці тому
Wow, such good pricing in the UK at only £55. I was sad to hear that the pump block is so tall, as it won't fix in my ITX build which I'm just putting parts together for.

I think it would be for fun to throw in an air cooler in these AIO charts just to see where maybe the Peerless Assassin stands in a AIO jungle. As well as vice versa, throwing in a lone AIO into an air cooler graph. :)
@martinfletcher9699 Місяць тому
I will tell u peerless assasin is 1 2 c hotter than the 240mm its not worth it 240mm AIO's are only for looks and not actual performance 360 and above or u might aswell get a Peerless assasin or phantom spirit wich performs identical to 240mm aios

@Varrkan 2 місяці тому
Hey. What should I buy in terms of noise? Currently, I have LF2 280 and at 30% speed, my 5800x3d has 60-65 degrees average. So Would it be beneficial to change LF2 280 to LF3 280 or even 360? Which one is more silent?
@johnwiesen4440 2 місяці тому
I got a 360mm Freezer II about 2 weeks before the Freezer III came out. I was able to send back the Freezer II as I had not used it and payed the diffence, it cost me £66.98 a diffence of 49p. I have a Freezer II 280mm on my AM4 with a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X the 280mm keeps it nice and cool. I am thinking to fit my own fans onto the rad Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM. Then I will have the same on both sides.
@laur6405 2 місяці тому
I'm kind of interested in getting the 280mm version for my Ryzen 7700 non X. I have an Arctic Cooling esports e34 and while i like it for being silent even on high speeds my CPU still reaches 80-85C so their deal is kind of tempting me to get one
@okuryazar260 Місяць тому
As I understand cpu bracket on the intel side does not effect that much more than amd side ? İs that right ? Can it be due to shape of cpu bracket because it has round height at side. What if we normal bracket mb socket or thermal right ones? Will it be same ? ... So much question about it.😂
@notuspanda3624 15 днів тому
Heard the installing of this one for an AMD CPU is a bit finicky with having to put a lot of force against the springs to thread the screws. Would there be a trick to installing it without feeling you're going to damage the motherboard?

I wanna see some 360 numbers on these lol. I bet they would be amazing!
@HardwareCanucks 2 місяці тому
We haven't dived into 360 yet. Unlike some other publications, if we haven't built sufficient experience in a category (like we did with 240mm) we won't tackle it until we are ready.

I just got my artic freezer II on november. i asked about a white one they said within the next 12 months. I did a all white build except for my 3080 which is the black evga, and the arctic. I figure i wait till xmas. But here it is, on sale from the get go.......
@Yuriewitsch 2 місяці тому
For AMD just flip "L" and "R" mounting bars (if there is a colision with M.2 heatsink) and you can normally mount that cooler, you only lose that offset distance. Cheers
@krazyfrog 2 місяці тому
But you would be offsetting in the other direction, so now you are farther away from the hotspot than if you would if there wasn't any offset to begin with.
@Yuriewitsch 2 місяці тому
Its not that big of an offset, on some review they did that "flip" and it was practically on center of CPU, yes you lose some perf I guess (couple of °C), but on other hand you can leave M.2 heatsink on and you dont wanna do M.2 nvme disc without cooling (especially gen.4 and 5). And we are talking about only if that tall M.2 heatsink collide with Arctic LF III, my guess it will be only on some highend boards. @krazyfrog EDIT: I found that video "Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 - The Best Just Got Better", he starts talking about it around 10:30.

Shoul i get this one or the EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Lux D-rgb?
@itisabird 2 місяці тому
EK tend to be overpriced. If you can afford it and really prefer the look of the Nucleus, it is a good option. However, if you value more the value per dollar, you'll be better off with the Artic one.

Gentlemen, any chance you can pair an Artic Freezer 3 with Silent wings 4 and post the results please?
