About this deal

Their excellent cooling qualities allow them to deliver low CPU temperatures, enabling far-reaching overclocking possibilities for processors while also having the potential for silent operation.

This makes installation easy and tidy: you only have to connect two connectors to the mainboard, and there are no other cables to hide.

I have the same case, thermaltake view 71 with a ATX Motherboard, MSI MEG X570 ACE, Had an MSI MAG Series CORELIQUID 360R and it failed on me after 8 months. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Not a big deal since laying the board flat on the table bypasses it, but this could be even easier if Arctic refined the solution with cap screws.

The Liquid Freezer II's fiber-reinforced 45 cm tubing allows for installation even in large cases and effectively prevents coolant evaporation, so you don't have to worry about refilling your compact water cooling system. Thanks to their design, CPU water coolers can absorb and dissipate significantly more excess heat than CPU air coolers. Big air coolers have well-marked advantages, mostly the install-and-forget benefit, but also reach steady state in just 90 seconds of a thermal load. To get the best out of your cooler, it is recommended to adjust the fan speed control in the Bios, follow this guide to adjust your PWM. Idle temperatures also plot the lowest, not that this is particularly useful, and that’s partly because of the VRM fan slightly reducing heat in the area of the socket.This puts it about equal in thermal performance to the NZXT Kraken X62 and X72, which run around 51-53dBA, or a perceived noise increase to the human ear of about 2x. 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. So much so that, while we will be laying out our reasoning for our personal opinion on the topic, you will have to come to your own conclusions. I recently upgraded my Haswell era PC to something more current, and with the addition of a 5950X to my system, I decided to do it some justice with the biggest cooling I thought I could fit in my PC without going custom water loop. ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, initiated and continues to shape the trend towards quiet cooling systems.

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. consumption for the entire AIO) and as for warranty just like with all the other members of that line ARCTIC covers it with a very generous 6-year limited one. We can revisit in the future if needed, but that’s the only question mark left after the review process: Arctic’s pump design is new, something we’ll look at in our tear-down video coming up shortly, and a new design means we have no reference point for endurance and reliability. This can be a single component, or it can be installed directly on the CPU block, as it is in the case of an all-in-one water cooler. To get it flush, I removed the GPU, unscrewed the motherboard, unplugged a few critical cables and moved it out just enough so I could access screws on the back of the motherboard.The Liquid Freezer II 420 A-RGB model is the last one released by ARCTIC (the liquid freezer II A-RGB line includes 240/280/360/420mm models) and as expected it features an 38mm thick fan (as with all the other members of that line) and three 140mm P14 fans (PWM fluid-dynamic bearing with A-RGB lighting) with integrated cable management (routing). GaK_45's combination of multiple industry certifications(MCSE, CCNA, various CompTIA, etc), and over twenty years' experience in the computer industry allows him to provide detailed analysis that is as trustworthy as it is practical. Before putting this chart up, a few important points: First, this is all relative, so our measurement points aren’t designed to test the motherboard, but rather to test the cooling capabilities of the CPU cooler on top of it. And, like the Liquid Freezer II’s fans, the water pump is PWM-controlled and adjusts its speed accordingly.
