About this item

LGA1851 AND LGA1700 CONTACT FRAME: Improved contact pressure distribution through Intel mounting frame for efficient heat transfer, thanks to even CPU contact surface
NATIVE AMD OFFSET MOUNTING: Optimized for the multi-die chiplet design of Ryzen processors - 5mm offset for optimal coverage of the CPU hotspot, resulting in more efficient heat transfer
ACTIVE COOLING OF THE VOLTAGE CONVERTERS: PWM-controlled VRM fan that additionally cools components in the base area, such as voltage converters
INTEGRATED CABLE MANAGEMENT: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated into the jacket of the hoses, which means that only one visible cable is connected to the motherboard
LIMITED COMPATIBILITY WITH A FEW MOTHERBOARDS: Oversized coolers on the M.2_1 slot can lead to compatibility problems. An overview and solution is available in the technical data, in the manual and on the manufacturer's website. Please use the compatibility check

    5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable cooler
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024
    First, the cooler looks pretty and cools the cpu really well. My CPU is over-clocked and it's cooling it at 37 when idle, and at 40-50 under load - your results may vary based on tasks, loads, and air flow, etc. The fans are very quiet as they are arctic's pwm fans. With that said, it functions as intended. The size and build is pretty solid for a 360mm aio. I think it's worth every penny. The included thermal paste is enough for 3 or 4 applications.

    1 downside for me was that I did have to unplug and re-connect the fans' rgb plugs for the rgb to work. Not a hassle at all, but it should had came plugged correctly out of the box.

    Other than that, solid AIO for the money. Good quality fans. Pretty good design. Keeps my CPU cool. Awesome product.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 6 YR WARRANTY THIS IS THE QUIETEST /BEST LOOKING / BEST PERFORMING AIO CPU COOLER ON THE MARKET
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024
    The radiator is chunky at 38mm thick!
    240, 360, 420mm options.
    Comes with a socket retention backplate to prevent bowing on LGA 1700 sockets.
    Almost twice as thick as any of the other brand so make sure you have clearance in your case!
    They have a mounting design like nobody else with the pump mounted perpendicular on top of the all copper base.
    Engineered in Germany.
    6 YEAR WARRANTY
    Killer RGB fans.
    Arctic is back and at it their best.
    They are back with a vengeance.
    Used them 20 years ago for air cpu coolers and they were excellent then.
    Been using thier thermalpaste exclusively since.
    It comes with a tube of Arctic Silver thermal paste that has enough for 2,3, or 4 applications. (if you don't over apply)
    The size of a pea is all it takes in a lengthwise line about a 1/2 inch long in the center.
    There is also a fan built into the CPU block to provide even more cooling to your VRM heat sinks W/ VERY NICE RGB as well as removeable! It pops right off for quick and easy cleaning.
    Built in cable management!
    One 4 pin pwm plug powers the pump and the 3 fans. (connects to cpu fan header)
    Another 3 pin wire for RGB.
    This makes installation look very neat and very easy.
    No spaghetti!
    If you're in the market for a new AIO, try this Arctic first.
    Tou can buy 3 of the 420's for the price of 1 top of the line 420 Core Sai.
    Betrer performance, better built, better looking.
    Watch the UTube video reviews.
    Get one and a jacket, hat, and mittens.
    Time to chill With Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 !

    Amazing value for the money, fit perfectly, looks badass and works flawlessly. Arctic is beyond reputable so that’s an easy recommendation, but the quality for the price really drives this home. You dont need to spend more unless you want a cooler that has a screen on the pump, which is very fancy and well done. But if you dont need that, and want to save $ without sacrificing, then the Arctic line is perfect. Random side note, I love that it’s a German company, but I hate that it’s not actually made in Germany. Oh well, doesn’t change the rating.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Cooling/AMD Mounting hard
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
    Noise: sounds like any other aio to me. I can’t hear a hum and there are no crackles or bubbling.

    RADIATOR IS LARGE. wouldn’t properly fit in my 5000D w/ the motherboard placement so I had to find a work around in order to get it in.
    I would say that this is a great cooler FOR AMD. The plate makes good contact with the cpu but the leaf spring mounting is pretty difficult and the pressure is uneven. I might just be a little weak but it took me 30 minutes to mount on my CPU. I’ve seen ppl say they scratched up the plate and others ruined their cpu(bent pins) because of it. When I actually finished installing the AIO I had problems with my CPU temp. It actually increased drastically compared to my previous NZXT Kraken 360. I was getting about 65 degrees idle. After removing the cap it dropped to about 40 degrees and has been ok since. Not rlly sure what that was about. Could have something to do with the fact that I chose the All in One cable instead of the one that separates the VRM pump fans and cpu fan. Overall now that it’s installed it works great. Got my 7900xt at about 30-35 idle and my cpu 40-45. Both around 55 gaming(forza 5).

    Intel: mounting is much easier but the plate is unable to make good contact w/ the cpu because of the included LGA1700. So this cooler would not be the best choice for intel cpus RIGHT NOW. I’m sure arctic will come with some revisions in a few months w/ all the complaints. If u can’t wait then LF2 would be better for fit. Or maybe the new deep cool mystique if you can find one and want something updated.
