ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB (White) - AIO CPU Cooler, 3 x 120 mm Water Cooling, 38 mm Radiator, PWM Pump, VRM Fan, AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA1851/1700 Contact Frame - White

The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB (White) is an outstanding cooler and a perfect match for my Ryzen 9 9950X3D and ASUS Crosshair X870E Hero setup. It keeps thermals in check even under full load, with whisper-quiet operation thanks to the optimized pump and semi-passive ARCTIC P12 fans. My CPU remains cool and stable during 4K gaming, VR sessions with the HIVE Index, and sustained multitasking.The integrated VRM fan is a great touch, offering additional stability during heavy overclocking. Aesthetically, it looks sleek in my Corsair 7000D Airflow case, and the ARGB lighting is vibrant but tastefully done — especially when synced via my ITleads SC790 hub.Installation was straightforward with clear instructions and excellent build quality throughout. I originally tried to fit this cooler in a Fractal Design Torrent, but clearance issues with my GPU led me to switch to the 7000D — a move that gave the Liquid Freezer III Pro the space it deserves.Overall, this cooler delivers top-tier thermal performance with low noise and clean cable routing. A fantastic choice for any high-performance AMD system.

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.
