About this deal

A Liquid Freezer II A-RGB a Liquid Freezer II bírálók által elismert hatékony PWM szivattyúját ötvözi a statikus nyomásra optimalizált új RGB ventilátorokkal. Így teljesen új esztétikát érhet el rendkívül alacsony térfogat és hõmérséklet mellett. The nature of a review cycle (while a product is relevant) typically dictates that there’s no means to realistically test for endurance or age. 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. In general, liquid coolers outlive the usable life of the system, and potentially two systems, but those that fail do so in a much more visible or catastrophic fashion. Failures are overall rare, however, and that’s always important to note. We’ll send you to our Air vs. Liquid cooler content for more of an explanation on this front.

The VRM fan clearly does something, and temperature improvements will follow the more even FPM on either side of the VRM heatsink, but we also want to be clear that a top-mounted radiator would also benefit the VRM. This is something we simulate in our test setup. VRM Thermals In addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance. For both of these results, we’ll show traditional delta over ambient temperature results.

We also test each cooler with at least two fresh installs (typically three) to mitigate the likelihood of a dodgy mount spoiling results. The Liquid Freezer II is the successor to the well-respected Liquid Freezer water cooler from ARCTIC.

Arctic has built, thus far, a good product. We need to see how it does long-term, as Enermax has scared us away from firm recommendations on thermals alone. We would recommend the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 as a go-to solution over competing liquid coolers, based on thermal and acoustic performance, although we’d also note that most proven (e.g. Asetek, CoolIT) coolers will perform similarly. If you want RGB LEDs, you’re mostly just paying more for them, but should be in the ballpark for performance. The out of the fan direction were different and the mounting kit didn't match the instructions. Was able to piece together fitting instructions and was all good after that Our next chart continues with the 3950X 200W load, but allows all the coolers to run at 100% fan speed during the test. This doesn’t move the needle much for Arctic, which seems to top-out in its efficiency at around 1200RPM rather than its maximum 1600RPM. The results were +/-1C as usual, but our average ended up at 50.9 degrees over ambient. That’s not enough of a change, so there’s room to reduce noise level without much loss of overall performance. At the 1610RPM speed, the Arctic cooler ran at 42.5dBA at the normal 20” distance. 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. Again, that’s perceived to the human ear, not acoustic power, which is a different scale. Either way, Arctic’s solution is significantly quieter at the same performance. The EVGA CLC 360 shows that we’re not limited by our test bench, but also that jet engine levels of noise are needed to drive the temperature down further. 3800X – 35dBA In addition, it hides both the A-RGB and PWM cables of your radiator fans thanks to a well thought-out cable management system. This way, you only have to connect two plugs to the mainboard and save valuable time during installation. In the end, you don't need to hide any more cables and your view is reduced to the essentials. The chassis fans are disabled, all case panels are on, and the sound meter is placed 12 inches from the side of the Fractal chassis’ glass side panel – roughly where a desk user will be sat.dBA at full fan and pump speeds is absolutely fine to set next to for a working or gaming session. I would have no worries about running the Freezer II 360 level of noise on a 24/7 basis, but the excellent PWM fan speed range is also available. With the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB, users get a strong balance between noise output and cooling performance, with particular emphasis placed on tolerable noise levels even when at full fan speed. This makes a pleasant change for an AIO cooler and is a design approach that I appreciated throughout testing. KitGuru says: The Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB is particularly strong in the noise-balanced performance department. Add competitive pricing, a 6-year warranty, and good RGB fans into the mix, and it is easy to give this cooler a recommendation. On the top side of the angled plastic pump unit is the 40mm VRM fan. The translucent housing of this fan is not RGB LED lit, and this feels like a missed opportunity by Arctic.
