Product Description
Efficient, in-house developed pump
We went to great lengths to develop the water pump. The result is greatly reduced humming and higher efficiency. Like the other components, the pump is also PWM controlled. This leads to a significantly lower noise level at low and typical loads, but also to much lower power consumption, with a maximum of of 0.7 W at no load, 2.1 W under normal load and a maximum of 3.4 W under full load for the entire AiO.
Premium class radiator
Premium class radiator
Unlike most other all-in-one liquid cooling manufacturers, we rely on 38 mm thick radiators with a high fin density. This means that a larger amount of water can be used in the circuit, and the cooling surface can be significantly increased.
Water has a much higher heat capacity than aluminum or copper. This leads to a slower and up to 5 ° C lower temperature increase in the temporary turbo mode of modern CPUs.
Smooth VRM fan
Small fans have a reputation for being particularly loud and not very durable. However, we have developed a quiet and durable diagonal fan especially for the Liquid Freezer II and are 100% convinced that this 40 mm fan is just as durable as our other case fans. In the unlikely event that it should fail, ARCTIC will send you a replacement free of charge and easily, without a need to replace the entire unit.
The fan is PWM-controlled and can cool your voltage transformers and the base area almost inaudibly by over 10 ° C. This is especially effective in overclocking scenarios, inadequate VRM cooling or in housings with poor airflow, thus permitting continuously high loads. If sufficient VRM cooling is available, it can be switched off at will.
High quality hoses with integrated cable management
The fiber-reinforced, long EPDM tubing of the Liquid Freezer II enables installation even in large cases and effectively prevents the cooling liquid from evaporating, so that you do not have to worry about refilling the compact water cooling system.
It also hides the cables of your radiator fans thanks to sophisticated cable management. So you only have to connect a plug to the mainboard, saving valuable time during installation. In the end, you won’t need to hide any more cables and your view is reduced to just the essentials.

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”.

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.

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.

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.
