ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB - CPU AIO Water Cooler, Water Cooling PC, Intel & AMD, Efficient PWM-Controlled Pump, Fan: 200–1900 RPM, LGA1851 and LGA1700 Contact Frame - Black

The quality of this radiator and block is exceptional in my opinion. I was replacing a Corsair AIO that was a few years old and had failing RGB and a broken bracket. I was not expecting the product that showed up which was as heavy as a brick and built like a tank.The install was mildly annoying for an AMD chip as I'm sure you'll read about if doing research. The radiator is also extra thick which can cause some interference issues if you have a tight case. Double check your case specs for this. I was impressed enough by the build quality that I exchanged for a larger case to accommodate this AIO. I'm disappointed that the arctic logo on the block can not be rotated to match odd install orientations.There is zero software or drivers required for this AIO which is a huge plus for me since I don't want to be locked into some ecosystem. It does require some hardware/motherboard/sofware of choice with ARGB capability to use the rgb and utilizes the standard PWM (cpu_fan) header for controlling the system (there are many combos possible- look into it specifically if interested).My processor stays cool under heavy load and it's relatively quiet. I would definitely recommend this product if it fits with your build.

It was a bit of a pain to install as the bolts to attach the pump to it's bracket seem too short. But once done this things is quiet and efficient. Bottom line: I'd buy it again if needed.

The media could not be loaded. Company has great communication, I sent an email if it would fit and they got back to me in a day or two.Build quality is excellent, it looks great.Came with all mounting hardware you need. It does keep my setup cooler, but I used it mainly to make it more quiet.Good performance, and the fan speeds are just as advertised.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the wiring that came with my unit is faulty on the daisy chain of the led as shown in the video. I spent hours taking it apart and swapping the fans etc to find out it was in the wiring harness. Good company, they would probably make it right, but at this point of being several hours in, I'm not taking my setup back apart for the led to have the full range.

I don't understand why there's bad reviews. Looks like there were a few people that received used/returned items. That aside, this cooler is fantastic. GamersNexus has this rated pretty high and it Looks great and keeps my 7800x3D cold. The fans do ramp up a little prematurely in my opinion, but never to a major level if the cooler and thermal paste are properly installed. It's a thick boy at 38mm for just the radiator, so make sure it's going to fit, but if you do your due diligence for planning your PC build, you should be fine. I suspeect this would fit most modern cases with front radiator support. Top is preferable in my opinion for exhausting hot air, but may be a little less compatible unless the radiator is offset plenty from the motherboard VRM heatsinks. Install wasn't hard if you follow the instructions. The only gotchas for me was that the brackets are left and right AND I accidentally installed them upside down the first time, so I didn't think that was intuitive, at least for me. Also the pump block isn't centered on the die, so it goes right to the edge of the CPU heatspread on the top and that preplexed me greatly, but it's by design. I think they designed it so the waterblock fan blows on that edge I guess. It's cold so it works. Only other thing that was weird with mine was the waterblock fan was ticking for the first hour or so. Not sure what that was about, tried adjusting things, eventually it went away. Not sure if there was a flap of tape or something?FYI, a 280mm is only about 10% less surface area than a 360 AIO, yet 36% more cooling than a 240, not to mention the thickness and waterblock design. So a pretty good alternative when you can't fit a 360mm.I think this think just looks so slick and I'm going to buy another one for my old PC.

Unit is pretty nice. The only issue is that it is fairly thick. On my Monortech cabinet, no way to install it on top due to clearance issues with the memory and/or cpu tower. On my larger Corsair cabinet, it barely fits on top, and only barely. On the front, not the easiest to route the fluid lines and install the cpu heat sink properly as you can't easily rotate the cables around. The RGB fans are not visible through the radiator, so they do not have much effect. unless you have a glass side panel, and even th en, really doesn't add much.Once installed, it works well and is quiet and keeps the CPU temperature under control.
