This is the 3rd Liquid Freezer II cooler that I’ve bought. The first one was a 360mm version which I paired with my Ryzen system but I upgraded to the 420mm version. I donated the first one to a system I built for my dad which has a 12700k.
I was able to get an lga1700 bracket from Arctic for free but it took a month to get it. Now that the bracket is included, I don’t have to wait for it or spend $8 to get one.
What I plan to do with my 3rd 360mm cooler is pair it with a Core i9-7960x that I’m going to delid and then overclock. The 7960x & AC 360mm combo will replace an i7-7820x & H115i combowith an EVGA x299 Dark motherboard.
Originally I had the AC 360mm paired with a Ryzen 3900x, but then I upgraded to the 5950x once I was able to order one. The 360mm version kills it with the 3900x and it was enough to cool a 5950x. I ended up upgrading to the 420mm version in which case the temps stayed the same but the clocks were slightly higher.
The 360mm version is more than enough with the Core i7-12700k and there is a bit of headroom for overclocking.
Ich hatte vorher die MSI Core Liquid 240R und die 360R, die sehr schnell kaputt gingen.
Nach reichlich lesen, habe ich mich fr die Liquid Freezer II 360 ARGB entschieden.
Die scheint hochwertiges Khlmittel verbaut zu haben und Artic bietet selbst 6 Jahre Garantie. Also habe ich mich fr dieses Produkt entschieden, denn den rger mit AIO und MSI will ich nicht mehr.
Der Radiator selbst ist viel Dicker als die des Core Liquid. Ich denke, das die deswegen auch richtig gut khlt.
Das Kabelmanagement ist ok. Nachteil ist, das die Kabel vom Radiator zum Khlblock gehen und von dort aus zur CPU-Lftersteuerung und dem ARGB Anschluss. Wenn man den Radiator oben hat, wre der Kabelausgang oben geschickter gewesen, so wre das ganze unsichtbar Verbau bar.
Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, das die Pumpe und die Radiator Lfter in der Ausgangskonfiguration gleichzeitig ber einen Anschluss angesteuert werden. Dies hat mich am Anfang gergert, aber im Gegensatz zur MSI Core Liquid, macht das nichts, denn der Artic Khler braucht kaum Leistung um Leise laufen zu knnen. Die Pumpe selbst, darf man nmlich offiziell drosseln, was nicht selbstverstndlich ist!
Im Idle habe ich beim 5600x ~36 bei 1% Lfterleistung laufen (bis 40 bei 1%). Bei 60 soll er 20%,75 50% und erst ab 85 die 100%. Die Gehuselfter laufen hnlich, um whrend des normalen Arbeitens “Ruhe” zu haben.
Im Cinebech R23 und CPU-Z Stresstest erreicht die CPU ~59-61 bei 20-22% Lfterleistung. Hher geht die Temperatur auch nach einer Stunde nicht. Da der 5600x bis 95 ausgelegt ist, lasse ich die Wak und Gehuselfter lieber etwas leiser laufen.
Das ganze war bei ~18 Raumtemperatur. Man muss dazu sagen, das der Radiator Push & Pull bekommt. D.h. der Radiator zieht aus dem Gehuse die Luft an und ber dem Radiator, sind noch einmal 2x20er Lfter, die die Luft zustzlich nach Auen drcken.
Selbst bei 20% Lfterleistung ist der PC nicht unangenehm laut. Laut wird es erst wenn die Geforce 3080 FE in Spielen anfngt zu arbeiten.. aber das ist fr das normale Arbeiten/Surfen eher nebenschlich.

I’ve just installed this cooler in a Corsair 5000D case. Unfortunately, I could not install the cooler in the top of the case. The rad and fans drop down too low and there’s interference with the motherboard.
Otherwise, I’m sure the cooler will perform well, Just make sure you have a case with extra room up top if you want to install there.
The packaging looks cheap. It comes without instructions, you have to scan a barcode that will take you to their support site. At that point you will realize that maybe your motherboard has some compatibility issues with the mounting and the solution is to replace a cap, but that cap doesn’t come with the aio, you have to submit a ticket on their support site. They say they will send you free of charge that part if you show proof of purchasing one of the affected motherboards. At this point in time have been a month and still I haven’t received the part. Support told me it’s ok to use it without that cap. Regarding performance it’s superb at this price, it keeps a 12900k oc to 5.1 all p cores and 4.1 all e cores under 90 Celsius degrees while running stress tets. Mine came with the 1700 mounting kit.
Il dissipatore si presenta con qualit costruttive eccellenti. Pulito nelle forme e nelle linee risulta di facile installazione. E necessario per porre attenzione ad un particolare importante: il radiatore enorme e se non si in possesso di una case generoso si rischia di non poterlo installare, non solo ma probabile che lo stesso vada ad urtare sulla scheda madre. Quindi attenzione necessario possedere un case full tower. Altro aspetto fondamentale riguarda il socket di montaggio la cui confezione sprovvista della piattaforma 1700. De essere acquistato a parte ad un costo che oscilla tra 10/15 euro. Risolti questi problemi c’ poco da inquisire su questo prodotto che risulta funzionale ma soprattutto silenziosissimo e sebbene privo di led ( si vende anche quello con lucine colorate) risulta bella da vedere e perfettamente gestibile da bios. La ciliegina sulla torta poi come sempre va ad AMAZON – sicurezza ed affidabilit in tutto. Acquisto consigliatissimo – il migliore se paragonato ad altri brand anche pi costosi
L’AIO di per se buono, fa egregiamente il suo dovere ma ho avuto qualche difficolt nel montaggio. Le istruzioni sono praticamente assenti. C’ solo un QR-Code da scansionare per avere una sorta di guida online. Per chi come me deve montarlo su socket 1700 le istruzioni poi sono scarne e confusionarie. Bisogna infatti avere un kit apposito che viene fornito generalmente nella confezione ma vanno utilizzate alcune viti degli attacchi precedenti.
Il mio arrivato con una ventola non funzionante. Dopo aver montato il tutto ho scoperto che una delle 3 ventole rimaneva sempre ferma. L’ho sostituita con una Arctic che avevo tolto proprio per montare il radiatore, fortunatamente della stessa dimensione/capacit. Altrimenti avrei dovuto mandare tutto indietro per la sostituzione.
Voici ma configuration:
– Intel i9-12900k
– asus Z690 Maximus formula
– 2x 16 DDR5 vengeance 5600mhz
– asus rtx 3090
– bequiet Dark pro 12 1200w
– botier razer atx thomawk (airflow naze)
J’ai effectu une installation vertical qui n’est pas la meilleure solution mais c’est le seul endroit o je peux mettre un systme 360mm.(arriver des tuyaux par le bas. Ps jamais par le haut, les bulles d’air sont en haut)
J’ai essay 3 systmes de refroidissement.
Test sous benchmark cinebench r20 (10 minutes)
– noctua hd 15 => 98 degr
– asus ryujin II 360 => 92 degrs
– artic liquid freezer II 360 = 79 degrs.
Il s’agit donc du systme le plus performant pour la partie CPU. Le systme asus est plus efficace sur la partie refroidissement des vrm. Pour les dfauts, les plastiques sont pas terribles et il faut acheter le kit lga 1700 en plus. Ils pourraient l’inclure.
Under load my CPU temps average 45c. Under maximum load the temps peak and 70 and the cooler will ramp up the fans and bring the temps down to an average of 45c. The stock fans work quietly.
I have 3 Noctua NF a12x25 fans I was going to install in the Radiator, but the stock fans work quietly and efficiently and gave a nice RGB lighting effect and look great in my White Phantecs 600s white case. No need to uses the Noctuas.
Having the fan wires integrated in thee hose makes installation quick and easy. Eliminating all the fan and RGB wiring is a big plus.
I set the performance profile in my bios 40c-70c and I am never bothered by fan noise. This is a huge improvement in cooling power and fan noise over the Corsair 360 I cue and the Deep Cool 280 I previously used.
I have the A-RGB unit and love the glow of the fans.
The unit is 38mm thick without fans, normal radiators are 28mm. Make sure you have room in your case before you buy. The 38 mm radiator and fans dissipates a lot of heat. That is what makes it the performance king.
This cooler is a great value and a quality unit.
The biggest draw back is the parts bags for Intel and AMD are not labeled. Be careful on which one you use. I took a star away on installation for this.
J’ai longuement hsit franchir le cap (J’ai us jusqu’ la corde un Cogage Arrow de 2010 avec 2 Silverstone FHP141 sur 4/5 CPU avant d’investir sur un AIO). Toutes les reviews du LF2 360 sont donc dithyrambiques et pour mon exprience personnelle, je ne suis pas du non plus.
Pour rsumer, j’aime la high-tech vintage (surtout mon porte-monnaie en fait) et du coup je tourne encore sur une P9X79-Pro avec un E5-1680V2 (Xeon Ivy-Bridge 8C/16T aux coef dbloqus datant de 2013) cloqu 4.4Ghz. A cette frquence pour 1.35V, avec le Cogage je plafonnais + de 85C sur Prime95 assez rapidement avec des erreurs au bout de 30 minutes. Avec le LF2, je ne monte pas au dessus de 70/75C et aucune erreur. J’ai mme pu passer sur un paramtrage du CPU qui va de 4.4Ghz sur tous les coeurs 4.7Ghz sur 2 coeurs avec 1.4V.
Pour prciser, j’avais dj des P12 de chez Arctic pour mon boitier (vu les trs bonnes critiques perf/bruit des P12), j’ai donc un push/pull de P12 sur le LF2. Le montage des ventilos est aussi saluer vu qu’ils sont dj monts au dballage. ensuite parce qu’on peut avoir un cablage trs propre facilement. Le radiateur est plutt classe aussi dans la finition noire mat. Le bloc pompe/ventilo/WB fait un peu cheap, mais au moins l’ensemble est efficace et le ventilo VRM est un vrai plus. Dans l’absolu, j’aurais pouss plus loin avec un ensemble bloc+ventilo de 80/92 histoire d’avoir une vraie ventilation des VRM… mais bon on ne peut pas tout avoir.
Au niveau bruit, en idle tous les ventilos tournent 400/600 rpm, et en charge au max (1800rpm). Cela reste trs supportable compar aux deux silverstones de 140x38mm 2000RPM. Aprs, je ne suis pas un maniaque de la question.
Pour rsumer, je suis assez satisfait du rsultat. Je mettrais jour au fur et mesure…
Dissipatore molto silenzioso,quasi non si sente nemmeno al massimo della velocit. In game il suo rumore abbondantemente coperto dalla scheda video, una 5700xt. Raffredda un Ryzen 7 5800x che con i programmi di stress test, arriva ad un massimo di 80 gradi. In game circa 73 gradi.
Attenzione perch ha soli due cavi, uno per i led mentre l’altro comanda insieme ventole e pompa: collegato sulla scheda madre(Asus x570 tuf gaming plus)nello slot cpu_fan ho modificato da BIOS la curva di lavoro per non farlo mai scendere al di sotto del 50%, altrimenti la pompa sarebbe troppo lenta a raffreddare i picchi di lavoro di pochi secondi.
Istruzioni chiare sul sito Arctic accessibili da qrcode sulla scatola.
Quattro stelle perch mi arrivato rev. 1 e non il pi recente rev.2. Cambia poco,l’ unica differenza di nota la gestione minima della velocit che stata alzata ma comunque rimediabile facendo come ho fatto io aumentandola da BIOS.
Arrivavo da un Corsair h80i che sempre stato molto rumoroso ai limiti del fastidio, l’ Artic penso sia uno dei pi silenziosi e per il prezzo pagato,108euro in offerta, anche quello con la qualit pi alta.
Watercooling performant, je l’ai achet pour mon 9900K qui avait un ventirad nul, avec des tempratures alarmantes ces derniers temps. L’installation a t difficile, en fait mon botier est assez grand mais pas assez pour ce watercooling, rsultat si je voulais l’installer en horizontal sur le haut, il butait sur… son propre refroidisseur de CPU ! J’ai donc d opter pour la version 240 en vertical sur le devant du botier. Performances excellentes, j’ai encore de tout petits pics de temprature (CPU un peu instable) mais ils chutent immdiatement ds que le systme s’en rend compte. Je n’ai pas de problme avec le RGB que je contrle via le logiciel de ma carte mre (Gigabyte Aorus).
J’ai rachet ce watercooling pour l’ordinateur de mon conjoint qui est plus grand, et l il est bien rentr en horizontal sur le haut du botier, c’est un pur bonheur. Performances identiques. La complexit de l’installation ne diffre pas fondamentalement entre du Intel (mon ordinateur) et du AMD (celui de mon conjoint).
Niveau bruit, c’est trs lger, je n’attendais de toute faon pas un 100% silencieux mais il fait trs bien le job.
I’m running a 12700k with all power limits removed. It’s at about 200w and 4.8ghz steady. It never throttles with cinebench r23 with 10 minute runs, which is good enough for me. I get 70 during the 10 minute run (50-60f ambient). Also the fans are super quiet and I can only hear the pump for the first second of startup (which is mostly just the air).
My only gripe is that I had issues with Arctic when upgrading to the lga 1700 bracket. It took over 2 months for it to be delivered. When I contacted them they were pretty much dumbfounded on how to help me at their German location. I had only received an invoice and no mention of shipping. When I asked them they told me their warehouse didn’t have any kits and didn’t mention if my order had shipped or if they were going to ship me one. The they just stopped responding. So I went to the customer support on Arctic’s website and they immediately got me a tracking number and stated that the German location is getting new management due to these issues. That experience could have been better but the last representative that I dealt with made up for it. Funny thing is that when they finally emailed me my tracking number it was in my mailbox haha.
Overall great product and I think they’re blowing up much faster than they anticipated so customer service might be a hit or miss depending on who you’re talking to. Other than that it awesome for the price. Would like to see other designs for clean builds.
My journey through 360mm coolers was far too extensive but the LFII 360 performs the best.
Pros:
– 5900x idles at 30c, and only reaches the low 60s in Cinebench multi-core. I can game for hours and this doesn’t reach 70c
– Fans at full speed (~1800 RPM) are shockingly quiet.
– The wiring is genius, only 2 connections to make and avoiding all the mess of RGB connections. Fans can be disconnected and wired to a separate MB header if so desired.
– Using the offset mount for Ryzen 3000/5000 series does lower temps by a few degrees focusing the cold plate on the hottest parts of the Ryzen IHS
– Radiator is ~10mm thicker than the standard 360, providing more surface area for cooling. This might be a fitment issue for some cases, so make sure you have the clearance from the VRM/DRAM.
– Price… I was able to get it for $115 when on sale, discounted 15% but even a $130 it is a bargain.
Cons:
– Mounting challenges in a Phanteks P500A where the 12 mounting holes do not line up. Was able to get the radiator secured using other vent holes and cable ties. I called Arctic about this and actually spoke to a customer service rep who took the time to understand the problem (combination of Arctic and Phanteks in this case) and was appreciative of the feedback.
Notes:
I tried several Asetek based coolers (EVGA, MSI), and the Corsair Capellix h150i and the LFII 360 comes out on top for thermals and noise. The Corsair Capellix h150i is a very good unit, but the pump/fans are considerably louder at higher RPM and is ~25% more expensive.
Great product, and great company.
Pretty impressive cooler. I managed to blow the pump out of my old cooler that worked just fine, always had under 70c with stress tests and such. It was the MSI MPG Coreliquid K360. Always was a huge fan of MSI since the 90s but to be honest their latest stuff has been less than impressive. Anyway..
So I picked up this cooler as a replacement. I’m pretty impressed. Idle temps sits at about 27-30c which is honestly a little bit warmer than “room temperature” in my book. I just ran a 5 minute stress test through Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility and the cpu didn’t even hit 65c. My Coreliquid would hit about 70-72c with the same benchmarks under load and sit around 35c at idle.
If you kind of know what you’re doing, installation is pretty easy. Honestly it’s probably one of the easier AIOs I’ve installed.
The fans are super quiet. Even under load the fans are hitting around 40% and there is na’ry a sound.
I gave -1 star for two reasons:
1. The included paste was just..awful. It was coagulated and clumpy. I don’t know if I got a bad batch of it or something but I had some Noctua NT-H2 paste laying around and used that instead. Probably for the better but I tend to lean towards the fact that they included it in the package, and therefore it should be used. Don’t. Just spend the money on a quality paste (and spend the time to re-apply it from time to time).
2. As others have said, the manual is online and you have to go to a page via a QR code on the box. That’s great, but most people will end up using their phone to look up the instructions and to be honest I’d rather pay a couple extra bucks for a printed manual rather than deal with that.
I wish there was an LCD or even some RGB on the pump, even if it was optional. I kind of dig the LCD thing, it allows me to easily monitor temps, fan speeds, etc.
Probably Amazon’s fault but the box was in bad shape. I was ready to return it but I thoroughly inspected the parts and it was fine. It looked like it was opened previously but all the parts were there and all that good stuff and there was no sign of previous use. Probably just got smushed on a conveyor or something.
Great product, paired with 10700k and its doing its job very well
I purchased the larger version of this to begin with (420mm)
only to find it would not fit the case i had even though the case supposedly would fit it.
So had to drop down to the 360 mm AIO
It arrived the next day unboxed it and had to swap the fans around to a pull config as i was mounting it in the front of the case.
My temps have dropped at least 10 degrees from an air cooler so am well pleased

The cooler works very well, but not any better than the Noctua fan rig it replaced.
However, airflow through the case is much better without the big fan blocking so much of it!
Installation took three attempts at seating the pump onto the CPU, but that was mainly because the online instructions weren’t very clear as to which screws went with which bits. More than a little annoying. A simple label on each screw bag to tell me which one was which would have helped greatly.
Price for performance is excellent and I don’t it can be beat. I was using a Corsair H150I, I fancied a change and dropped my temps dropped from 37 idle to 30 and from 83 to 77 under load.

Recently bought this 360mm AIO cooler and I am extremely happy with it. It arrived early and is easy install. The 360mm AIO is extremely quiet and does a great job at keeping my Ryzen 5 3600 system cool.
Getting a stable overclock of 4.4GHZ on all cores and a temperature at full load staying at 65
Buyer beware make sure your pc case has enough space between the motherboard and the 360mm AIO and if you have the same problem, as I did go for the 240mm AIO version instead.
In my case I installed it into my 1ST PLAYER Steam Punk SP8 Mid Tower case, unfortunately the distance between the ATX motherboard and the 360mm AIO was about a centimetre to short and the first fan clips the two 8 pin motherboard power connectors.
I had to improvise and trim the plug clips and pull the wires as tight and far away as possible as seen in the picture, this is not ideal but I love my 1ST PLAYER pc case and would not be defeated by this issue. A smaller factor motherboard this would not be an issue.
Je sort d’un bequiet silent loop 280mm que j’avais depuis 2017 et qui tait une pure saloperie mais la n’est pas la question ^^
+cet AIO est une merveille ! tout est prmont il y a une platine a visser, 2 cbles brancher et roule ma poule ! ceux qui galrent ne doivent mme pas savoir changer une ampoule…
Les tuyaux sont plutt long (45cm), pour ceux qui ont un gros boitier (+60cm de long pout ma part)
i9 9900k @5ghz, 30 en idle, 59 en full, le tout dans un “silence” plutt peu bruyant (comprendre par la qu’on entend un peu souffler quand a chauffe forcment, mais c’est pas un racteur comme le bequiet)
-seul bmol, les ventilo clairent fort, et le blanc vire carrment sur le bleu.
J’ai pris la version avec boitier de gestion RGB, pensant avoir une tlcommande mais non…
Donc le boitier ne sert a rien, oblig de se coltiner RGB fusion pour ma part (carte mere gigabyte) qui est une sacre plaie.
Installed the 360 LF2 (rev 4,) on a 3700x in an x570 Master in a Corsair Obsidian 500d. (500d has handy removable front (and top) fan/rad mounts). Front mounted (I flipped the fans to “pull”), tubes down. Slightly tight with tubes in front of GPU. I’d like a minimum of 20mm extra tube length for comfort. Slightly tricky install but no 3rd hand needed. Temps, ~27c at idle (about 25-40% fans, and with mild windows power management). About 47-51c playing Civ 6. Nice and quiet Blender rendering on CPU, which typically my fans guy noisy. Arctic LF2 360 is very quiet overall, though I will probably add a fan cable extender and split the 3x fans from the pump to control both separately off the MB. Small VRM fan inaudible. Instructions are sparse (included via QR code), and while probably quite easy – I’d like if instructions showed/ thus prompted the separating fans and pump before finally installed.
Is relatively easy to install but the instructions are online and not the easiest to use. Perfect cooling and dead quiet compared to my old AIO.
Great CPU Cooling and easy install in my setup: Mounted in a Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh case cooling an i7-11700KF on an Asus B560 Gaming mobo with an Asus RTX3080 installed. My install review is based on these components. The radiator is mounted on the front with the fans on the outside blowing in. With this AIO installed, an 8 core CPU stress test resulted in upper 60s C temps with a rare spike hitting 70 on a couple of cores. The CPU idles at around 25C average.
Easy Install:
Radiator: I installed the radiator to the front of the case (intake) since maximum CPU cooling of the i7-11700KF was my goal. The 3 ARGB fans come pre-mounted/wired to the radiator. I had to move the fans to the other side of the radiator since they were shipped mounted to the inside for exhausting. The fans are tightly pre-wired together. Unscrewed all 3 fans and shifted them to the other side of the radiator as a group. Screwed them back in to the opposite side. The radiator then mounts directly on the Lian Li’s case front radiator mounting bracket with 12 screws supplied. Radiator install done.
Pump: The pump installs over the CPU using the supplied back plate (for Intel 1200 in my case) supported by 4 standoffs on the top side. 2 mounting brackets screw onto the pump. Apply the supplied thermal paste to the CPU and lower the pump/bracket onto the 4 standoffs and tighten down with 4 thumb nuts. Pump install done.
Wiring: Very simple. The radiator fan power and argb wires are pre-routed through a cooling line to the pump. There’s only two wires exiting the pump that need connecting, a single 4 pin PWM power line that powers the pump and the fans, and a single 3 pin argb that controls the fan colors. The PWM power connects to the CPU_FAN controller on the mobo where all fan/pump speeds on this unit are controlled by the mobo’s bios settings. The argb connects to a 3 pin ADD GEN2 connector on the mobo which is controlled by my Asus Aura bios settings.
Nitpick: This 360mm radiator, front mounted, cannot mount with the pump lines at the bottom in my setup. The pump won’t reach the CPU. I’m forced to mount it with the cooling lines at the top.
Great quiet running AIO, the fans look nice and run almost silently and the pump is quieter than my old corsair’s. Just be aware that the rad is thicker than most other AIO’s.

360mm Rad, I had an Issue with the fittings in my original bargin basment case that was meant to take this cooler so updated to a different case and even that had clearence issues with the fans on the bottom as they are quite wide, check the thickness before ordering as this didnt clear the backplate shroud on the corsair 5000x Airflow and there is a good bit of room in this case (but a good case).
Excellent product. Noise is very minimal. Tested on Ryzen 5 3600XT went from 60 degrees with stock cooler to under 30 with this one. Also tested on Ryzen 7 3700X which also keeps under 30 with undervolting to 1.5V from bios and runs perfect. Max temperature is around 50 degrees with 100% cpu usage for very long periods of time (days). Overall very pleased with this, perfect for systems that operate 24/7 with heavy usage.
I have also installed 3 additional fans on the other side which make a 3-5 degree difference and I keep it outside the pc case.
Cons – nightmare to install the pump if you are upgrading. Removing AM4 mounting brackets releases the back plate. system for installing artic mounting brackets requires 2 people or at least 3 hands. Pipes are 40cm, not long enough for me to fit radiator with pipes on bottom in my corsair 5000d airflow case. Inbuilt cable management creates far more problems than it solves. Instructions are very very very lacking. No led’s on pump even on AIO option.
Pro’s absolute beast of an aio performance wise. I bought this to cool a 5900x, previous aio had it at 35-55 degrees on idle. This has it between 28 and 33 degrees on idle. LED’s on fans are as good as corsair LL fans. Extremely quiet.

Premetto che sono stato un felice possessore di un Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 (prima serie) che ha raffreddato a dovere il mio vecchio Intel Core i7-4790K per molto tempo.
Oggi mi ritrovo nel mio PC questa bestia di AIO da 360 per raffreddare il mio nuovo Ryzen 5950X.
Come tutti i prodotti Arctic, anche questo Liquid Freezer II 360 conferma quella che la strategia del brand da ormai tanti anni ovvero: offrire veramente molto con poco!
La qualit costruttiva di questo AIO in generale molto buona, senza led (che io detesto… ma se volete appena uscita la versione RGB che sicuramente raffredder la vostra CPU sotto lo zero!) e dalle prestazioni che mi hanno lasciato veramente senza parole.
Il montaggio abbastanza semplice. Io l’ho posizionato in modalit top case (dopo averlo provato anche sulla parte frontale).
Le 3 ventole e la pompa sono tutti connessi fra di loro e terminano con un unico connettore a 4pin PWM da collegare all’header principale della scheda madre (in generale etichettato come CPU_FAN).
Nel bios ho impostato un profilo “manule” per il suddetto fan header con una curva fissa al 40% fino ai 50 gradi per poi salire al 100% in modalit progressiva in corrispondenza dei 100 gradi.
Almeno nel mio caso questa configurazione si rivelata vincente! le prestazioni sono da “brivido” nel vero senso della parola!
In IDLE il processore non mi va oltre i 35/37C con una temperatura nella stanza di circa 22C (il processore stock con PBO attivo e RAM “occata” a 3600 secondo il profilo XMP) . Durante le sessioni di gaming ho visto di sfuggita una volta 70 …. ma proprio per sbaglio. In genere le mie temperature massime sono sempre attestate fra i 58 e i 63.
Il tutto coadiuvato da una silenziosit veramente ad ottimi livelli. La pompa silenziosa quanto basta mentre le 3 ventole Bionix sono praticamente inudibili anche quando sono maggiormente sollecitate. Anche la piccola ventolina che agisce sulla pompa per il raffreddamento del VRM silenziosissima!
Se a tutto questo aggiungiamo il prezzo pi basso che c’ per un AIO da 360 non posso far altro che consigliarne l’acquisto.
Una Bestia Buy!!!!
I got this for my new 11600K with and ASUS Tuf Gaming Z590 board and mounted it on the top of my case directly under two 200mm fans. My CPU is overclocked to only 4888 on all cores. on a CPUID stress test my CPU hit 55 degrees C. The CPU temp is about 25-28 on a 21.5 degree room. DO NOT BUY THIS WHERE I GOT IT FROM AS IT WAS BROKEN AND USED.
Works great, cools well.
Not the easiest thing in the world to fit, but its cheap and has no RGB.

The thermals and noise are fantastic. It’d be a five star product but for the instructions being digitised and not of especially high quality, as well as the rad being extremely thick which means it’s a bit of a curveball in terms of compatibility with cases that usuallyis take rads.

For the price it’s good value but online reviews like gamers nexus are wrong. The old 280mm Corsair H110i I had performed better and CPU was slightly cooler with that too. I tried refitting 4 times, all the same result, the 280mm Corsair was superior, but a bit louder.

Und Junge, funktioniert das gut! Verbaut ist ein AMD Ryzen 5900x auf einem Asus Strix b550-F.
Dieser hat einen Basistakt von 3.7GHz. Jedoch sehe ich ihn selbst bei langen All-Core Lasten nie unter 4.4 GHz! Auf allen Kernen! Hierbei wird eine Temperatur von 70C stets unterschritten!
In Idle-Szenarien befindet man sich meist zwischen 50-60C. Hin und wieder, wenn es drauen kalt ist, und man das Fenster ffnet, werden die 30C angeschnitten.
Hierbei ist zu beachten: Die Lfter sind auch circa 30-40% Maximalgeschwindigkeit begrenzt! Da ist also noch ordentlich Luft nach oben!
Aber mit diesen 30-40% Geschwindigkeit ist das ganze Konglomerat flsternd leise! Man kann ohne Probleme All-Core Lasten fahren, UND nebenbei etwas anderes machen, ohne das Bedrfnis zu bekommen Kopfhrer aufzusetzen.
Bezglich der Montage:
Diese war Super-Einfach. Zu zweit. Man darf nicht unterschtzen, welch torsionale Kraft diese Schluche ausben. Im Idealfall hlt also einer die Pumpe, whrend die erste Schraube gesetzt wird. Vielleicht war ich aber einfach nur vorsichtig ;).
Etwas schwieriger war das umdrehen der mitgelieferten Lfter, um die Luft anzusaugen. Schwierig war hierbei das Kabelmanagement der Lfter. Diese sind nmlich durch die Wasserschluche gefhrt. Aber nach circa 15 Minuten war auch das gebongt.
Super Teil! Ich habe es fr 93 abgestaubt, und die ist das Teil allemal Wert! Laut diversen Tech-Reviewern besser als teurere, leuchtenderere, Alternativen von z.B. Asus, Thermaltake und NZXT!
Das ist mittlerweile schon die 3. Wasserkhlung die ich verbaut habe, daher kann ich einige Vergleiche zu Corsair und Enermax ziehen.
Ich habe die aktuelle Version (Rev. 4) erhalten, was schonmal gut ist. Ich erwarte beim Kauf immer die aktuelle Revision. Eine Anleitung in Papierform liegt nicht dabei, hierfr gibt es einen QR Code auf der Verpackung. Das Ganze hat jetzt natrlich Vor- und Nachteile. Fr die Umwelt natrlich gut, Nachteil wenn man zB nur ein Smartphone hat ist das doch etwas klein und da wre eine gedruckte Anleitung schon super. Mit Tablet absolut Ok.
Es war alles vormontiert (Lfter zB) und Kabel ordentlich verlegt, bei den anderen Herstellern darf man das selbst machen obwohl diese teurer sind.
Anleitung ist leicht verstndlich, Schritt fr Schritt mit animierten Bildern. Sollte eigentlich jeder mit etwas Geschick hinbekommen.
Die eigentlich Montage ist dann (zumindest bei AM4) etwas fummelig am Anfang, das haben die anderen beiden Hersteller aus meiner Sicht besser gelst. Jedoch baut man eine WaK nicht stndig aus und wieder ein. Daher ist das etwas unschn aber nichts was sehr ins Gewicht fllt.
Wichtig dabei ist immer wenn man am PC was ein-/ausbaut, immer ruhig und geduldig arbeiten. Wenn man zu hektisch wird fallen nur Schrauben oder andere Dinge aufs Mainboard was zu defekten fhren kann.
Durch die fehlende RGB Beleuchtung hat man nur ein 4-PIN CPU Fan Kabel, was fr mich wichtig war damit mein PC auch aufgerumt aussieht. Blinkende Grafikkarte, Mainboard und RAM reichen mir persnlich.
Khlleistung ist hnlich zu den meisten Test und Rezensionen, ich habe einen 3800X mit undervolting auf 1,3V Vcore und Cinebench R23 bei 10 Minuten bei circa 70 Grad. Die Lautstrke ist wie erwartet und vergleichbar mit anderen Herstellern.
In Summe eine gute AIO Wasserkhler fr einen wirklich guten Preis, wenn man auf RGB verzichten kann und sich 5 Minuten mehr fr die Montage nehmen kann.

The product is good, keeps temps low and is very quiet. Though when I needed assistance with my cooler as one of the fans wasn’t spinning properly, I couldn’t get Arctic to help me. I emailed them and they just never replied to me, so had the issue been worse, I would’ve had to return the product. One of the fans still doesn’t spin at the same speed as the others, but i don’t want to waste the rest of the unit by returning it, and arctic won’t respond. So just keep this in mind.
The Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 is fairly easy to install (although the tubes are a bit stiff) and works a treat on cooling my current CPU a Ryzen 2600x. I bought it because I am going to get a 5800x in the future, and when I do I’ll update this review. So far though my CPU temps don’t go over 45 degrees with a full load but I do live with a relatively low ambient temp. The customer support is also top-tier, I emailed Arctic to get some extra screws to fit another 3 fans on it and they got back to me a bit late but were very nice and have shipped me the screws. For about 110 it’s a great buy. Their fans they do are also great so no need to replace them.

Temps once installed didn’t go above 50 degrees Celsius on an overclocked 5600 , which is amazing ngl , but installing it is the biggest pain ever , if you’re solo your gonna have some trouble, also is one chonky boy so make sure you have enough room.
bout a month ago i was building a pc for my gaming buddy and he didn’t want to spend extra money on rgb and stuff so I picked the 240mm aio for him
and it was a lot cheaper than other brands such as nzxt or corsair
when I finished building his pc with 10700k
holy cow
the temps were amazing
so now, I sold my nzxt and bought myself this
this is officially my fav cooler now
A little confusing to install but the company has videos on youtube to help dropped the heat on my 3900xt by 30c

FIRST OF ALL I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS 360 VERSION IS THE “REV 3.0” MEANING IT HAS THE NEW MOUNTING MECHANISM AND IS BETTER THAN THE REV 1 OR 2.
It is worth every penny.
I will just bullet point this cause its going to be a long wall of text so I will get to the point:
POSITIVES:
> It performs better than other AIO with RGB that cost 70 more, I used to have a 280mm Corsair H115i and cooling a 5800X. With this Liquid Freezer at the same settings my 5800X is 10 Degrees Celsius cooler. And it is wayyyyy more silent.
> The Radiator is a 360 and its thicker than the other competition
> The fans are High pressure fans designed for Radiators and even under load it is very quiet.
> Rev 3.0 mount is Better (can still be impoved though as the mounting bracket on the socket is cutting close near my Mobo’s VRMs/chokes
> Honestly the cpu block design is a love and hate. I wanted to get the rgb bling bling but instead tried this one.
It has no RGB but wow, it actually looks good.
The block looks mechanical, robotic ish, like a transformer robot. It is not bad at all.
> Tubes are sleeved and long. And the wires from everything are hidden inside the sleeved cable. It makes it very clean and no spaghetti wire monster.
Also you only have one wire to hide. The 4 pin CPU Fan wire which you attach to the mobo cpu fan header.
> The VRM fan on the cpu block is small and is not loud. Its only loud at start up but under normal operation you cannot hear it.
> The price is insane. Not only does it outperform EVERYTHING. It is 60-70 GBP cheaper than the others!
> The cooler fans are pre-assembled, saves you the work!
> Guide on how to install is on their website or in youtube!
Okay as for the downsides. There is only one thing really:
The downside really is the Bracket install.
Even though they now added REV 3.0. It is very easy but maybe not so much for new builders.
It can be annoying to install the block alone because even if the backplate is now held by the stand off’s.
The blackplate has 6mm play and goes down. So if you only have 2 hands, it can be hard to screw the 4 thumb nuts when installing your cpu block to the bracket.
That is it really!
The Solution?
Solution #1 :
Tape the stock backplate at the back, making sure that the backplate is fully pushed into the motherboards back. This will keep the stand off’s from going back wards, making it easy to install the block.
REMOVE THE TAPE AFTER INSTALLATION!.
Solution #2 :
Just have someone push the backplate into the back of the motherboard, while you are holding the block, pushing it into the CPU with one hand and 2nd hand screwing the thumb nuts.
Overall, Highly recommend if you are not into much RGB.
Seriously it performs very well. And you can learn to love the CPU Block design.
You can save 70 and use it for maybe getting a better CPU, GPU or RAM.
Using to cool a 5900X, idle temps 28c-30c , load temps on the CPU no higher than 60c in standard everyday use, gaming, rendering etc.
This is the best for AMD Processors – The installation is harder than other AIO’s but its worth the time to install. There is no LED’s on the fans or the Block But the performance is where this product shines
A great cooler, easy to fit in a Fractal Designs R6 case (can fit at top or front)
However, I did not find it to be the great leap over a 280mm radiator.
The additional cooling was only 5 degrees at max on my unlidded x8700 k , than the Kraken X61 I was using previously.

I bought this as a purchased a new i9 9900k, and was using a Corsair Hydro H100v2. I noticed temps would reach around the 70s / 80s under a heavy load. With this they now stay around the 50-60 mark. 60 being the limits.
Not only that the impeller design on the fans is amazing. The airflow seems to be incredible, and the noise is little to none (compared to the H100v2).
It is a behemoth of a cooler, so please make sure you have enough room before buying (on the Arctic site they have a detailed diagram of dimensions.
Oh yeah almost forgot. The price is the serious thing here. Other coolers of this caliber are quite dear. This is f***ing amazing value.
Don’t believe me? If you haven’t already, go Google the best AIO coolers and compare graphs from numerous tests. The Arctic is either always at the top, or on the top 5 spots, and for the price they go for, is amazingly good.
Sure they may not be loaded with RBG LEDs, but personally I was going for function rather than form.
Replaced a z73 kraken with this and once pump is at 100% it’s completely silent in my system. Temps are about the same as kraken for me ie very good. Mid 30s for i9900k when idle and mid to high 50s and low 60s when full load gaming.
Install was easy and link to instructions if needed are clear.

I do not think there is anything better AIO in the world, check all tech youtubers and you will see the review, in all areas is best, the only down side if is important to you, is that it has no ARGB coolers, for my BeQuiet silent base 801 which has no glass panel, this is perfect.

Recently upgraded my i4670k to a 5800x. An h100i had served me well on the Intel with max temps of ~60C with Linpack, but when used with the Ryzen it was sometimes over 90, which didn’t fill with me confidence if I wanted to dabble with some overclocking. (AMD recommended 280mm rads at least, so the h100i is underspecced in that department, and so this isn’t a dig at the h100i)
So I upgraded to the 360mm version of this. Installation is a more fiddly compared to the h100i, partly because of the sheer size of it, but also the AMD spacers that screw into the backplate are narrow, and don’t secure the backplate tightly until the cooler is screwed on, so that threw me slighty as the manual talks about motherboards with non-compliant backplates and I was worried something wasn’t quite right. But got there in the end.
Now it’s on I’m very pleased. I’m using it on the top of a 750d, exhausting, and using ML120s fans (for my red theme!). Peaks at round 70 in Linpack/IntelBurnTest now.
Very minor gripe is it could do with some small eye-holes on the sides for a twist-tie/zip-tie for a bit of cable management when replacing the stock fans (which have very short cables) with custom fans.
Make sure your motherboard is compatible if using for an AM4.
First 2 revisions, harder to install, but no issues regarding spacing. The third version, actuaybeing shipped, uses a new kit for AM4 that, in my case, would interfere with the capacitors very next to the CPU socket.
So, despite their best efforts, the loss of compatibility, was a bad call, and not include 4 screws to allow installation using the same method as revisions 1 and 2, as everything else is there, except the non-standard screws, bad move.
Does exactly what it says on the tin… box thing.. yes
Managed to OC my 8700k to 5GHz with ease keeping the temps very low.

This is an amazing AIO on my 3700x with settings of:
PBO Manual: EDC 78A | PPT 115W | TDC 110W
Scalar 1x | Voltage offset of -0.1v
Temps are: ~33 C Idle | ~62 C Gaming/Load
I kindly requested of Arctic support for some extra radiator screws for a push/pull setup, which they fulfilled at no extra charge and within a few days. The only cons was the tubing length where 470mm would’ve been better than 450mm for me but it still was a great fit, and the cpu mounting, which is still pretty difficult for a person to do by themselves on the AM4 platform (Tip: place a box under the bracket and then install the cpu block onto it).

Hardest cooler I’ve ever installed. Screws in wrong bags and had to YouTube mounting instructions.
Actual performance is excellent. It’s so cool that my dog now enjoys popping his head above the radiator to feel the cold breeze.

The overall experience is pretty nice, definitely would recommend this AIO if you’re up for some overclocking.
Just 2 small issues with this AIO:
1. You might need to check first if it’s gonna fit your case
2. The tubes are not that flexible and if you don’t have a large case the tubes just might hit your top fans when the AIO is installed in the front
But overall this is a great AIO and it should allow you to get the most out of your CPU

A bit tricky with tall RAM modules, once installed to swap RAM (tall ones) you have to remove the middle fan.
It’s quiet, keeps a 3700x below 62C at all times no mater the workload, and it does not have bs rgb crap.

Really good cooler. Keeping my 3800x under control easily, even when under load. Make sure your case can fit this in as the rad is thicker than most other AIOs. Really like the fact that you only have to plug in the one PWM connector for the whole assembly incl fans, and the wiring is all hidden/tucked away nicely. Slight faff to mount the pump on the CPU as the AM4 (AMD) backplate is not held on once you remove the mounting screws that come on most motherboards. So you have to contort yourself into a weird position to try and hold the backplate on whilst you tighten the pumpblock down! Or use a bit of tape. That aside though, impressive product.
Best Liquid cooler on the market. Comes with static pressure optimised fans. You can check out a comparison on the gamers nexus YouTube channel. I have an 1800x and it doesn’t go over 52 degrees Celsius

L’ho montato su un case Corsair Obsidian 750 airflow (quando arrivato il case mi sembrava una roba enorme pure lui). Quando ho provato a montare l’arctic liquid freezer II 360 il case mi sembrava piccolissimo.
Praticamente il dispositivo occupa tutta la parte superiore del case ed impedisce (o quasi) di fatto l’utilizzo dei primi due slot da 5,25”. In realt nel primo slot sono riuscito a montarci una slitta con due porte USB 3.1 e una porta Usb Type C.
Devo dire che con la soluzione del raffreddamento a liquido c’ molto spazio llibero vicino al processore e alle memorie e questo consente anche un miglior ricircolo d’aria con un miglior raffreddamento del sistema in generale. Prima ero scettico verso il rafreddamento a liquido, mentre adesso sono davvero convinto del fatto che un’ottima soluzione.
L’arctic liquid freezer 360 ha tre ventole, ma sono collegate in serie e quindi necessaria una sola connessione sulla scheda madre. A mio avviso (vengo da un PC desktop del 2004) le ventole sono davvero silenziose anche quando vanno a tutta birra.
La dotazione di accessori di arctic davvero di prim’ordine e consente di montare il dispositivo praticamente su tutti i socket con estrema facilit.
Viste le dimensione mastodontiche non mi sento di consigliarne l’acquisto se non a chi ha davvero tanto bisogno di raffreddare il processore overcloccato….
Ritengo invece di consigliare a tutti la versione Liquid Freezer II 240 che ha un costo vicino a quello dei buoni dissipatori ad aria (mastodontici pure quelli) e ha il pregio di lasciare “aperta” (e quindi di lasciar circolare aria) la zona CPU/memoria
This fan is a steal for this price point. I saw a reduction of around 40 degrees in temperatures. Very impressed with it’s performance.
Had to buy it from here since it was sold out on every web seller in the US and Sotel Electronics were the only people who would ship to the US. Bit pricey but definitely worth the money.
Bit of a pain to install with AM4, but it keeps my Ryzen 9 3950X pretty cool at around 65-75c.

i saw a lot of coolers and even more reviews . could not beat any of them the Arctic LF II 360 in performance, silent, or price !
Performance : on my i5-9600KF overclocked to 5 Ghz on all cores.
ADVICE !!! — if you install this cooler vertically with the tubes down you gonna get better (lower) temperatures
Gaming (cpu load 40-70 %- 40-47 C. )
Stess tests on 5 Ghz, 25 min each test, 22 C ambient (Cinebench R15 benchmark (58-63C), AIDA 64 (55-62 C), OCCT ( 53-60 C ), Prime 95 small FFTs no AVX (65-70 C) Prime 95 small FFTs AVX enabled 74-79C), Intel Burn Test on Maximum 75-79 C ). VRM fan also makes my VRM-s 10-15 c lower than other AIO s without VRM fan.
Noise : its silent while Gaming, I can hear the fans only on stress tests Intel BT, and Prime 95!Pump and VRM fan are both silent. For example the regular HDD or GPU or Case fans or PSU generates a lot more noise than the cpu cooler!
Price : you can’t find a 360mm AIO for this price on the Market !
240 and 280mm versions — I did nor try them , but based on my experience with 360mm version and on the YouTube reviews and other tech journalist reviews I 1000% sure they will beat any other AIO on the market on their category or even higher category.
Installation : Very easy to install. just follow the manual or YouTube guides. Takes max 10 mins just make sure your case compatible with the cooler size. Fans are preinstalled with a pretty nice cable management !
Customer service: HONESTLY I never had better experience with any other customer service in my life!
CONCLUSION : I don’t write reviews often , but i felt I must share my experience with this cooler.
The Arctic makes the BEST AIO on the market. Their cooler beat all the other AIOs or Air coolers on the market in Performance, Price, Noise level and the design looks pretty nice, clear, elegant and black ! I 100% recommend this product !
PS : Please Arctic make multi-compatible GPU water cooler AIO as well 😀 We need that ! 😀
Very good product so far, only time will tell if it lasts but seems very well built, thick rad!
Very good product so far, only time will tell if it lasts but seems very well built, thick rad!
TIP: Before mounting the 360mm rad to the top of the case, first mount the CPU block to place. For me it was the other way around, I mounted the radiator and then started with the block. Much more hassle.
Performance wise: Very good! Super quiet, even at full speed it does not get annoying, but You can hear it.
I am using it on B450 Tomahawk MAX and AMD Ryzen 5 3600x CPU. With 50% fan speed and stock CPU profile (quite high stock cpu vcore: 1.45v) it idles around 34C-41C. Which for me is quiet. I do have a Fractal Define R6 case without window panel, but with noise dampening mats.
I had a custom EK watercooling loop for CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) and my Vega64 before, with 1x360mm radiator and 1x280mm radiator. But I installed this AIO, because it is much less hassle to maintain.
I know I maybe losing some few degrees, but its worth it to me.
Of course as one can see there is no RGB which can be a negative to some, but I love its aesthetic. I’m glad it has no RGB.
I ended up setting up a push/pull config using mine, the cooling is really superb with the Arctic P14 fans it comes with, really impressed.
If you’re not fussed with RGB and want an AIO that cools really well, I would recommend this over all the others.
I have an overclocked Ryzen 5 3600X and while stress testing (100% load) it keeps the temperatures below 60C !
The noice levels are very low, even at 100%. Even the little VRM cooling fan is almost inaudible.
(The VRM fan can be disabled by unplugging it’s cable)
The radiator is very thick and thus has a very large thermal mass, which results in very slow temp increases.
And most impressively the price is much lower than the competition!
Over all no complaints other than the stiff pipes but that’s not really an issue for most people.
Highly recommended!
