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

Lives up to the hype, and I'm glad I got the updated version. Wasn't even aware this dropped until I went hunting the previous LF3. Installation wasn't difficult. Tubing is a tad long, but that's just due to my case having the mobo mounted a little higher. It fits fine and after a little adjusting there's plenty of room.Be warned: if you use the all-in-one cable you will not be able to monitor the pump or vrm speed.. that's normal. The pump will just run at the same % as the fans, so after some curve adjustments it's nice and quiet (and cool).Being it's got updated fans, and other small improvements over the previous LF3 I'd say it's a great value. If you get the black version then even better (at the time of this review the blk version is $88..).My case is a Lian Li 507, so it's a rather compact mid-sized case, and (while snug) it fits fine. Like a glove, even. A little over a cm clearance on the front and back, but oh so clean.After getting my fan curves dialed in properly (coming from a Peerless Assassin, which is still great) it runs cool and quiet-ish, as I stated above. This will have more to do with your case and other factors. I'm sure it's louder than other AIO, but I'm happy with it.Performance is solid. Installation was easy and rather fast. The online guide is great and interactive, depending on your chosen mounting method. And aesthetically it looks great.I do love that the face plate is removable, while the magnets are strong. Not sure why the "blades" you see are static (it's more of a grille), but the VRM fan appears to be substantial and u can feel a good bit of pressure coming from it...so that seems to be very functional. I hope they release a screen that's is compatible with this at some point.Edit: swapped to the split cable and adjusted my fan settings. WAY more consistent temps now. I had an issue with spikes where it would ramp up then settle once it was cool then ramp up. I'm sure this was more to do with my curve settings, but since I did this and set the VRM and pump speeds to a static 60% it's quiet and more cool than before. I also undervolted my CPU and I cruise at a solid 41C under load.

Update: I swapped my CPU for 9950x and still doing well (needed more cores). With PBO on, it would hit 95C, but without it would hit 80 on stress tests. It's normal for this chip to squeeze out more performance until 95C, so it really isn't the fault of the cooler. I did use a negative optimizer curve with PBO and now it stays in the 80s when fully utilized. Still a great cooler and would recommend.Original review: This thing has amazing performance. My 9800X3D CPU was originally cooled by a 240mm AIO (NZXT z53) and during Cinebench runs or any stress tests, it would hit 95C - verified install, repasted, etc. but had the same results. I installed this and it would go 82C max during my tests. Huge difference and now I can rest easy knowing my CPU won't be hitting 90s. Idle still sits around 40C but that's with a general fan/pump curve and not aggressive. Gaming will hit around 60-65C. This is for the 9800X3D chip, so it will vary if you have a different one.Install was OK compared to most, but it doesn't seem as stable when you mount it, as you have two screws to mount it into place compared to corners like some others. But it's not bad, especially if you have built PC's before. The instructions are online and very easy to follow. Just know that the radiator is much thicker than "regular" 360 AIOs, so make sure you have room in the case before purchasing.The RGB is ok, nothing fancy. Not amazing for 2025, but the price also reflects that. The fans have a slight gap at the top so the LEDs do shine through, seems nice, like an aesthetic thing. Performance is obviously not an issue as stated above.This cooler is definitely the best bang for your buck for 360mm AIOs. I got this on sale for $99, so it was well worth the price.I'll update this review if this has any issues down the road

I was deciding between the NZXT Kraken, Tryx Panorama, and Lian Li Galahad AIOS. After researching and seeing performance tests, I ultimately decided to get this AIO since it surpassed all of the above and the rest of the competitors. I had really high hopes, given that I gave up the LCD screen for the promise of better performance.Well, it did not disappoint. Not a single bit. It keeps my CPU really cool even under heavy load and its never loud. It was super easy to install (it was my first time installing an AIO and everything went right) and it looks great in my PC. I replaced the fans with Lian Li's to match my case fans and even that was super easy to do. At first I thought I installed it incorrectly because I didn't see the "fan" on the CPU spinning, but then I quickly realized its not actually a fan even though it looks like one? The actual fan is a smaller fan behind it. Just a heads up in case you run into that issue.Overall: super quiet, super cool, and super affordable. I'm so glad I went with this AIO and paid only 1/3 of the price of the others.

The cooling power of this 360mm aio is fantastic! I have the noise setting to quiet and it ramps up for a short period to get the temperatures in control and then it’s nearly as quiet as my old BeQuiet! Air cooler! My temperatures as barely reaching 65c while gaming, keeping my pc 15-20c cooler than my previous cooler! My big gripe is that the VRM fan is already making a rattling noise which can be heard over all other fans in the case.I have the Corsair 4000D and I had to remove the HDD case under the shroud to front mount it. It can only be mounted at the front on this case. It’s rather thick, so you’ll likely have to remove the fans and reinstall them once the radiator is mounted.
