Compatibility with LGA1700
The Liquid Freezer II 360 is compatible with Intel’s new Alder lake processors. Even if the socket and heat-spreader are larger compared to the predecessor, the CPU surface has been reduced and remains centered. The Liquid Freezer II cooler completely covers this area.
*Unfortunately, we cannot ensure that only compatible products are available for you to purchase on the open market. For this reason, we are supplying the required mounting kit free of charge to customers who submit proof of purchase of a processor with LGA1700 socket. Alternatively, you can purchase the mounting kit under the product designation “ARCTIC Intel LGA1700 Upgrade Kit – For Liquid Freezer II Series”.

Ascetic design, absolute performance. I’m not looking to be blown away by the colors or esthetics. This cooling unit gets the job done. I have 12900k on an Asus Z690-E mobo. The brackets had to be ordered separately (very normal as the socket is new). It is imperative you wait for the bracket for the lga 1700. Paste needs to be applied thoroughly and screws have to be tightened firmly for good contact. Also, there is a list of motherboards that require a new PCB cover that can be obtained on the arctic website. The item arrived very quickly during the holidays. No complaints and many cheers.

Like it. As my first water cooler it perform very well. Quite. Keeps cpu cool.One note on compatibility: it has issues with pair Corsair 5000D airflow and Asus z370-A II. It does not fit at the top due to PSU socket position. And when it does fit on the side, but there this no space for hdd cover.

awsome cooling and innovative but installation was more difficult than other aio(pure loop). The scres and parts were mixed up between the AMD bag and Intel bag. Wasnt packaged correctly, so I had to open both pouches to look for the actual amd parts. Other than installation, its awsome. Tubes dont bend at the base of radiator and pump so it makes it difficult to adjust the tubes.

Quiet and Cool. Impressed with easy installation and quiet operation. In 22.5c room, OC Ryzen 5950x idles at 32c. It’s so much quieter than my previous 240 fans and has no pump whine. This is a great AIO and would easily recommend. I thought the shape was a bit odd, but surprised how good it looked when installed.

Pairs Great w/ Ryzen 7 5800x. A fairly well built AIO with minimal compromises and overall performance wise is top notch when paired with a Ryzen 7 5800x. It does have some minor issues overall with the design, but is still superior to the other brands I have used before like Corsair and NZXT, especially with the actually useful VRM fan. The mounting was relatively easy and all versions of the cooler should ship with new 5000 series compatible AM4 offset hardware. It slightly offsets the mounting location for better cooling and was noticeable. The main issue with the cooler revolves around the fans and the tubing. The fans use extremely small connectors to daisy chain them together, so if you swap them out with different fans they are pretty well useless as case fans without purchasing separate PWM extension cables which should be included, but it is not. The debate of putting three fans and the pump on one header is also questionable, further reason PWM fan extension cables should be included. Secondly, the tubing on the AIO is much longer compared to other brands, a subjective nitpick depending on your mounting location. Lastly, only one set of radiator mounting screws are included, if you want to go with a push pull configuration you will need to purchase some separately. I found 6-32 30mm screws worked great, and should be available at any hardware store for cheap. The radiator is a decent bit thicker with a fairly dense fin stack, so push pull configuration did bring a small improvement over just push in my experience.

Great AIO that does what it’s supposed to. Installation on the Asus TUF x570 Pro MB is a bit wonky given the plates sit too close to the capacitors but not a big issue. Best part about it is the single wire for the pump and three fans. I got V4 so it has the updated kit for AMD motherboards.

This is the Best Liquid Cooler in 2021 for Top Notch Gaming PC. work perfectly for MB x570 pro wifi + 5800xidle temp around 34’c-40’cfull load 75’c-81’c almost no noise9.9/10 and no the mounting bracket do not touch the capacitors if you use the default backplate from AMD.If you have a CPU beast , i suggest you to use this Liquid Cooler. You wont regret it.

360mm AIO leader, among cheapest. Worth every penny. Edit: Bad FansReviews from youtube channels such as Gamers Nexus have shown that this AIO actually *leads* the 360mm AIO category for temps on ryzen. I’m not sure what it shows for intel, but I have to assume it’s the same as only the mounting bracket is different.To best explain this AIO’s performance, let me tell you my experience with this vs the one I just replaced (corsair h150i pro rgb xt, only thing available when I built last summer):1) max load temps dropped 6 degrees C2) noise dropped I would guess, 10 db or more. Unbelievably silent (at 1600+rpm!!)3) pump noise dropped a lot4) no rgb, which I like. Only chose other one because of availability.5) 2/3 the price? I purchased this at $124 vs $180 for the corsair unit.6) actually screws into motherboard in 4 parts, as opposed to two bizarre hooks for the AM4 mounting on the corsair unit7) Only *one* cable to plug into the motherboard, corsair unit had at least 3.I couldn’t be happier. There isn’t a single thing this AIO does worse than the corsair unit. It’s the 360mm aio leader and among the cheapest around. Extreme value per dollar. This AIO is also 50% thicker than most AIOs (38mm vs 25mm) which I’m sure helps it perform better. I really couldn’t be happier, and this unit gets a rare, unqualified 5* rating from me. If you are thinking of getting one, just do it.Edit: So after a few months (Purchased in May, it is now November) the fans whine. A lot. Badly. I’m writing this while gritting my teeth through their oscillatory whine hoping it will go away. I have three of the new chromax Noctua Nfa12x25’s on the way today, which should alleviate the sound. The cooler itself is outstanding, and the fans were, too, for a time — but this noise is unacceptable at any price point. Downgraded to 3*s. What a shame.

Resultado espectacular.Vengo de una Aio Corsair y está la supera costando solo la mitad de precio. Temperaturas en reposo por debajo de 30° y no supera los 60° a máxima carga.Facil instalación, solo decir que los tubos son algo largos.

Amazing cooler. Subpar instructions.I want to start with saying that this cooler – in my personal opinion – is the closest thing to coolest CPU cooler you can get in terms of a consumer item. Not to mention that the price for it is AMAZING considering the performance.This thing cools my i-10700F at max power draw (~150W) on 4.7Ghz clock speed with temps at around 68c max @ 67% fan speed on the radiator during a 10min cpu throttle test on R23 Cinebench. The fans are barely noticeable sound-wise as well. You’ll only be able to hear them if you’re running anything above 80% (which isn’t actually a significant benefit when you consider performance to sound). I’ve found that the sweet spot for maximum performance to sound ratio is around about 60-70% fan speed.The radiator itself is huge so make sure that your case is big enough. I have the Lian Li 011D and I was only able to JUST get clearance with a top mount. The XM-4 thermal paste that it comes with is also excellent and nothing to complain about. I’ve compared both the XM-4 with the Kryonaut and I’ve produced neglible differences in results (could be different with different setups though).The installation (we’ll talk about assembling in the next point) itself was super easy – plug and play essentially. It comes with the fans – including the VRM onboard fan – all linked to a single PWM female-header extending from the CPU mount, which goes into the CPU-Fan header on the MB. The radiator also comes with screw washers to protect your case and the unit comes with washers for every screw point as a matter of fact, which is a HUGE plus (still can’t believe the price point).Now the assembly was the only down part… The instructions were super vague (espcially with the CPU mounting brackets) I had to resort to third-party YouTube videos. There were a few times where I caught myself using the wrong screw simply because the instructions didn’t specifically differentiate similar looking screws – albiet this could be more fault for not being careful enough.Finally, let’s talk about the looks. I can see how this wouldn’t be someone’s cup of tea… It doesn’t have a sleek and clean design, and it’s freaking huge. It won’t fit in every case. In fact, I had to switch my entire build to a new case to fit this cooler. In saying that, yes I did go all in on this cooler and do I regret it? Absolutely NOT. The whole aesthetic grew on me and I came to realise that this cooler is all about business.TLDR;pros:- One of the coolest CPU coolers you can find on the market as of now- Super easy installation- VRM fan actually works great- Comes with screw washers for every screwing point to protect your system- HUGE radiator to desipate your CPU heatcons:- Vague assembly instructions- A bit bulky aesthetically- No options (besides unlinking the pump fans from the fans yourself) to separate pump and fan speedsIf you’re 50/50 on this CPU cooler, use this comment to give it a try. It’s the best thing I’ve ever purchased for my build as CPU temps were my main concern, but no longer thanks to this cooler.

Was expecting so much, but didnt deliver.For the price and the reviews I was expecting a great cooler. But the inability to stop the cpu block fan from spinning up and down at idle and the noise. Does my head in. At load it does keep the cpu cool. but its far too noisy and needs better fan control. Even contacted Arctic, but they wernt that helpful. 100% a great product is backed up by good customer care. I did notget this from arctic. Wont be using in any future builds for clients

Wow one of the best AIO’s period!I was highly impressed by this AIO. It is straightforward with no RGB (good or bad you choose) which is more than fine by me as really it is all about performance and boy does this perform at a price that is just stellar compared to other AIO’s…The AIO is extremely well made with a small fan to cool the VRM’s and it actually works with and is quiet but also can be disconnected. Also the cabling is to a bare minimum so no huge bundles of cable to manage but most importantly it performs at the highest level. This is probably due to the thicker radiator than normal which has a larger capacity to cool but be warned, check you case to make sure it will fit. Most AIO radiators are 28mm thick this one is 38mm thick!!! and it works to cool at low fan speeds extremely well.I have a 10700K overclocked to 5.1GHz for 24/7 use and even with Prime95 small FFT’s the cooling is just great… I have used other AIO’s in the past most notably Corsair AIO’s and they are great but this costs less and performs better.
