The hardware is easy to use, there is a freaking VRM cooler, which isn't some gross addition, and something we may have poked fun at near the beginning of the review, but also reminds us of older HIS graphics card coolers. One thing we cannot take from ARCTIC is that they not only surprised us with this cooler, but the Liquid Freezer II 280 has also genuinely impressed us! With all of the power sent through the fan header on the motherboard, our fans topped out at 1640 RPM, close enough to that 1700 RPM mark on the box. The noise does increase, to the tune of 38 dB, and with just 1.5-degrees to be gained doing so, it is not worth the effort, PWM control is excellent! Final Thoughts

These days, 280mm AIO CPU coolers are more popular than ever, and that’s because they’re the best compromise between size and performance. With small 240mm AIO coolers, you can get heat-pipe based cooling, but at the cost of performance, since the heat-pipe is prone to clogging up with dust and debris. On the other hand, 360mm AIO coolers are too large to fit into small cases, and while 240mm AIO coolers are fast enough, they also allow your CPU to produce too much heat, causing it to run at higher temperatures. The good news is that 280mm AIO coolers are in between, with great performance, but they are still small enough to fit into I did this on my Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming as the vrm's where not upto the job of a Prime 95 AVX Small FFT and i won't be keeping the 3700X for longer, pretty sure it will be gone when the 4th gen Ryzen comes out, gonna get the 12 cores CPU in that lineup The Corsair iCUE H115i Elite Capellix is an excellent cooler in general. It can easily keep any high-end CPU cool while also looking great in your case. Yes, it is expensive, but it is well worth the money.

The illuminated P-fans are already mounted on the radiator from the factory. During the development of the new P-series fans, special emphasis was placed on a focused airflow and thus a high static pressure. The fans guarantee extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P-series fans are particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators. I'm waiting for my GPU to arrive, should be here on Monday, hence there's nothing in the system atm. as i wasnt happy with it but this meant i had to also replace my Thermaltake Core V21 Case as it was mATX Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 with rad in front pipes down Hovers around 82-85°C with no core ever going past 90°C Hey! I'm putting together my new PC and I was wondering if the pump orientation on the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 matters? I've attached two example photos to help illustrate my question.

The best AIO cooler for the year 2021 is the Corsair Hydro H60. What is the best AIO liquid cooler? take a look at the CoolerMaster ML360 RGB....this is one of the BEST for ryzen. My temps dropped from 52 degrees at 4.2 Ghz to 24 Degrees! (28 degrees lesser!!!) The case (Phanteks P400A) does not support radiators on the top unfortunately. I think I'll leave it like this for now as the VRM fan blowing in the wrong direction is not a deal breaker for me. I don't have experience with other AIOs but the tubes on the Liquid Freezer are really not that flexible. It definitely feels like there's too much tension if I try to force it the other way around.and the 280 version performs really well while staying quiet,the only question i am asking is: is there a big difference between the 280 and 360mm version of the Freezer II
