ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB - AIO CPU Cooler, 3 x 120 mm Water Cooling, 38 mm Radiator, PWM Pump, VRM Fan, AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA1851/1700 Contact Frame - Black

The "Bottom Line" If you are looking for an AIO that can tame an i9-12900K without breaking the bank, this is it. After upgrading my cooling solution, my Cinebench R23 score jumped by over 1,000 points (hitting 26,121), purely because the thermal headroom allowed the CPU to maintain higher boost clocks for longer. Performance Highlights: Thermal Mastery: Under 100% synthetic load (Cinebench R23), the CPU package temperature peaked at a healthy 81°C, while individual cores stayed at a remarkably cool 71°C.The "38mm" Advantage: Unlike standard 27mm radiators, Arctic uses a 38mm thick radiator. This extra mass acts as a massive "heat soak," which is perfect for long DaVinci Resolve rendering sessions where lesser coolers would heat up and throttle.VRM Cooling: The unique fan integrated into the pump block is a lifesaver for the ASUS Z690-F's power delivery, keeping the motherboard components around the CPU noticeably cooler. Pros: Pre-Installed Fans: Comes out of the box with fans already mounted and cables managed through the tubing. Silent Power: Even at high RPMs, the pump noise is virtually non-existent. Contact Frame Included: It ships with its own Intel Contact Frame, ensuring perfectly even pressure across the i9’s heat spreader. Cons: Thickness: At 38mm (plus fans), it is a "thick" unit. In my build, it slightly blocked access to the rear chassis fan header, so ensure your case has the top-mount clearance! Final Verdict: 10/10 for performance-per rupee. It turned my workstation into a thermal fortress.

Worst cooler not working properly cpu 65°c in idle stress reaching 95°c Dont buy this waste of money

Excellent AIO 360mm qui vient remplacer mon 240mm. J’ai gagné 18°c par rapport à mon ancien AIO en full charge Cinebench R23. Je suis fan 😁👌

Super bra

Nice and powerful cooler, easy installation

・所感 水冷ファンの故障により、本商品に交換した 商品名が型番になっているが、ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB Blackである 本商品は非常に強力な冷却性能を持っており、 夏場の部屋でCPU(AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D)の温度が40度付近となった 次に水冷ファンを購入するときも間違いなくリピートするだろう ・インストール ケースや所望のエアフローによってはファンの取り外しが必要となる マニュアルは付いていなかったため、Webサイトのマニュアルを参照する必要があるが、 Webサイトのマニュアルが図解付きでわかりやすい 取り付けについてとてもよく考えられており、 最初からデイジーチェーンになっているため、マザーボードへ差すケーブルの本数は少なくて済む また、ファンとラジエーターの取り付けネジも最低限で済むようになっている。 ただし、ラジエーターのファンに付いているケーブルがプリインストール前提なのか、 ケーブルがとても短いため延長が必要となる場合があり注意が必要 付属のALL IN ONEケーブルも便利であり、AMD CPUソケットへの設置も容易である VRMファンがついており、冷却性能も増した 前回使っていた水冷ファンは取り付けが難しくケーブルも多くVRMファンもなかったため、 格段に良くなった ・サイズ ラジエーターの厚みが大きいため、PCケースに収まるかよく確認したほうが良い ラジエーター + ファンの場合はさらに幅が必要となる MasterBox MB511の場合はファンをフロントパネルに収めれば余裕ができた

I purchased this cooler recently, and unlike a few negative experiences mentioned by others, mine arrived in perfect condition. The box, all accessories, and the thermal paste were completely sealed, clean, and free of any scratches or damage. The included paste was also fresh and not dried out. For the radiator fans, I swapped the stock ones with my own Phanteks T30-120 fans. These fans offer higher static pressure, better airflow quality, and more stable performance across the entire RPM range. I also chose to cap the maximum speed at 2000 RPM instead of 3000 RPM, simply because anything higher was unnecessary for my system. The original RGB radiator fans were installed at the front of the case on Chassis Fan 1 to improve overall intake airflow. The VRM fan from the cooler is connected to CPU-OPT. My system uses a Ryzen 9 5950X, and in idle or light-to-moderate workloads, the CPU temperature stays between 29–35°C. For load testing, I used Cinebench R23 and monitored all temperatures and frequencies using HWiNFO. Here are the results from the test: Before starting the benchmark, CPU temperature was at 33°C. During the Cinebench run, the maximum temperature reached only 45°C (with fans around 700 RPM). When I switched all fans to full speed, the temperature dropped as low as 40°C. In my real workloads — which are mostly CPU-heavy tasks, AI workloads, backtesting, and long computational sessions — the cooler remained completely stable. The highest temperature I’ve ever seen so far, under heavy sustained load, was 60°C, which is outstanding for a 5950X. I’m sharing these numbers so that users with similar or lower-power CPUs can know what temperatures to realistically expect from this cooler. Installation was also very easy. There’s a QR code on the box that links to a detailed step-by-step installation manual and a complete video guide. Everything was clear, simple, and smooth. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase and I do recommend it. If I discover any weaknesses or issues over time, I will update this review accordingly. — My rating: 5 out of 5
