ARCTICLiquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB - Multi-Compatible All-in-one CPU AIO Water Cooler with A-RGB, Efficient PWM-Controlled Pump, Fan Speed: 200–1800 RPM, LGA1700 Compatible - Black

The media could not be loaded.  My pc came with a VERY cruddy master cooler ml240. It was loud, inefficient, and bulky. This thing is sleek, ice cold, and WHISPER SILENT. You can't even tell the pc is on. I went ahead and replaced all my case fans with the matching Artic fans.The install was a bit involved, but all in all it's a fantastic buy and my 5950x could not be happier.

Arctic had very complete documentation, which was important because they want their back plate mounted in a very subtly distinct manner. Absolutely beautiful colors from the RGB, system runs nice and cool. Highest recorded temp so far was a blip at 67 C running Cyberpunk 2077; average temp in games is 50 C flat with dips all the way down to 41 C observed.Pretty much all of my cooling is courtesy of Arctic for the past eleven years. Great company, great products.

Very easy mounting, I would advise looking up videos as it uses an odd offset method of mounting on Zen3's, and it's even said that it does not cover the entire heat spreader but this CPU does have a "hot spot" which is known anatomy of the Zen3 so, long story short, it works and works quite well.Running this on a Ryzen 7 5800x and at idle I'm around the low 40's at 21c ambient. Just ran CPU Mark and it remained in the 70's for 95% of the test, and peaked at 88c during the SSE part of the test for a split second then continued in the high 70's. Ryzen 3's will thermal throttle at 90c+ so I don't know if mine throttled or not during that moment but I hit a 30286 CPU Mark on my rig with 5800x's averaging in the 28000's so mine was pushing hard, totally killed the test, and it stayed relatively cool.I am running all stock settings on an MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK with Arctic MX-5 paste.For the price, I would say this is amazing performance. I do have a hyper 212 EVO but have not done a comparison and honestly after that test, I won't bother. I am certain even the amazing EVO won't be an improvement over this cooler. Unlike a traditional heatsink such as the EVO, this also helps with airflow in the case as it does exhaust out the top or side, provided your case supports radiators.I would recommend this cooler all day long, for the price, it has to be close to unbeatable.

Overall SUPER GREAT deal. Massive cooling at a great price. A little bit of a rough go installing this. I had troubles getting the old backplate off and the new backplate installed. After that it was pretty smooth of an installation. The manual is all online but it does do a good job with the animations showing you where and how to install but a paper one would have been a good addition since you have your computer off (I had to use my phone to see the manual for install) to refer to during the process. Now the good stuff. This thing rocks! It took my Lenovo Legion T5 i9 11900K with GEForce RTX 3060 with the factory metal fins and stock fan from core temps resting at high 60's and into low 70s (C) and with load hitting into the mid to high 80s (almost 90) ALL THE WAY TO resting 31c and heavy load (editing 4k video, rendering motion graphics, and gaming) at MAX 72 degrees C. I can't say how happy I am with my purchase. I love the futuristic look of the pump, the grey and white hoses bounce my RGB light and looks awesome. The mini fan and the RGB lights on the fans only add to the other fans with RGB lights that came stock making the coolness rating of my system jump by a factor of 10x. This thing is super quiet and I can only hear light fan noise this coming from a system with now 5 big fans and 1 mini fan (on the pump). This is the one to buy if you have a small tower with RGB lights and a hot chip. I did my research and took a chance with this one. I was pretty concerned about going to water cooling and watched a lot of YouTube videos and review sites. This is the one for me for sure.

2022-08-01: Updated review. See bottom.I specifically bought this A-RGB version of the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II to work with a brand new B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 (rev 1.1) motherboard, since this AIO is supposed to be RGB Fusion 2.0 compatible.Installation was more difficult than it had to be because the instructions are not that great. Describing some things out of sequence just adds to the confusion (for example, they show you how to orient the mounting bracket to the motherboard which won't fit (because it collides with some of the capacitors on the motherboard) until you put the four risers underneath the mounting bracket, which they don't talk about for another couple of steps. So I wasted time thinking, how is this suppose to attach if it's just going to crush one of the components on the motherboard? You go back to read all previous steps and there's no mention of the risers. Then you go down a couple of steps and oh, now place the risers on the motherboard and place the bracket on that. They should have started with the risers and then showed how to orient and place the bracket on top of them.There's essentially just two connectors that come off the AIO, the plug for the CPU fan and the 3-pin plug for the LEDs on the radiator cooling fans. Both are easily connected to the B550 AORUS motherboard. That should be it, right? Nope. While the radiator pump and the radiator fans turn on and function properly (you can even see the fan speeds in the BIOS settings screen), the lights just don't work with the RGB Fusion 2.0 application. They aren't detected at all.I opened a support ticket with ARCTIC a couple of weeks ago, but there has been zero response. I've also just opened a support ticket with GIGABYTE for the AORUS. Hopefully one or both of the companies will get back to me so that I can get all this sorted out. I specifically bought all RGB Fusion 2.0 components so that everything can be synced together. Unfortunately, the only things working are the G.Skill RAM and the GIGABYTE video card.The cooler itself is quite quiet. The depth of the radiator and the fans is actually pretty deep, so I wasn't able to mount the radiator to the underside of the case top because the it hits the top of the RAM sticks. This is because the RAM sticks are slightly higher because of the LEDs that are on them. So instead, I mounted the radiator to the front of the case pulling in air from the outside (as opposed to pushing air out of the case). I would have preferred the top mount, but front is acceptable. Just be aware that if your RAM is taller than stock, non-LED lit RAM, then it's possible you won't be able to top mount the radiator, depending on how big your case is. I'm using a mid-size tower (Phanteks P360A).I'll update this review pending the final outcome of both support tickets.Update 2022-08-01:The issue lies within the woefully implemented Gigabyte Fusion RGB software. I originally tried working with Gigabyte's support, but I received a canned response that if the LED hardware I'm using isn't specifically listed on their compatibility sheet (which is buried on their website), then it's not supported. I replied that all of the LED products I purchased specifically have the RGB Fusion 2.0 certification logo on their boxes and that should not be allowed if those products really don't support RGB Fusion 2.0. After my reply, then I got instructions on how to install the RGB Fusion software a different way (using the Gigabyte App Center installer as opposed the RGB Fusion installer itself). I was lucky, in that I was able to uninstall the original installation of the RGB Fusion without incident (if you search on the Internet, you'll see that many people had to re-install Windows to get the RGB Fusion software to be fully uninstalled). In any event, installing through their App Center made zero difference. At this point, I gave up on Gigabyte providing any useful help and relied on my ongoing email exchange with Arctic's support.There was a big delay in Arctic getting back to me at first, but once a dialog was started I was able to get timely exchanges with them. It took a while, but after many exchanges between myself and Arctic's support as I tried different experiments and connector configuration, I was finally able to get the lights fully working (and to be able to fully shut them off as well). I provided Arctic support, all the information on how to get the lights fully functional, and they are available on Arctic's service drive for anyone who might also run into this problem.Since I've now been able to get the product working, I've bumped up the review from 2 stars to 4. I'm knocking off one star because it took way longer than it should have to get everything working.In summary. Cooling works great. A-RGB lights work, but could be difficult to get set up.

Works amazingly well, very quiet. the pump design still has a fan (small) so the chipset in the surrounded area gets some extra air flow where most AIO's dont provide this. very clean with cables hidden under the hose covers, Plugs directly into cpu fan header instead of the AIO header so its good for boards that may not have the dedicated port for them. firm hoses make install a little tricky and a second set of hands helps.The radiator is HUGE, larger then most, its not the standard size for a 240 aio. very thick and slightly longer then most other brands so fitment will be an issues for alot of smaller cases. I ended up needing to change mine in order to fit everything in properly.. which led to a terrible terrible rabbit hole of upgrading upgrading upgrading....very good quality, keeps things very cool, very quiet with excellent air flow, highly recommend if you have the space... i may have just purchased the 360 model... i fell down the hole again...

Es un enfriador liquido mas que decente, a pesar de ser de 240 mm supera a mi antiguo corsair h115i de 280 mm, eso si, si piensas adquirirlo mide bien tu gabinete sobre todo por el tema del grosor del radiador ya que este si que es grueso, en mi caso entro con calzador y la extensión del cpu 4+4 paso a duras penas, no pude probar el rgb de los ventiladores ya que mi placa base no tiene argb header, sin embargo, estos enfrían mas que bien con un nulo ruido, los tengo automáticos con la mobo y hasta ahora el ruido que emiten es imperceptible.Mis temperaturas no pasan de 45°C jugando, en un i5 [email protected] ghz

hochwertig verarbeitet, geringe Lautstärke und hervorragende Kühlleistung. Installation ist ebenfalls kinderleicht. Absolut empfehelnswert

Il n'y a pas de notice mais le montage est très intuitif. Silencieux, efficace. Je vous recommande ce watercooling (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB).

Il prodotto si presenta ben confezionato e ricco di accessori per adattarlo alle varie schede madri. Viene fornito anche con un piccolo tubetto di pasta termica più che sufficiente per la prima installazione.Le istruzioni sono molto chiare e la guida online è esaustiva; con un minimo di attenzione non ho avuto nessun problema a montarlo su una MSI Z490 GAMING PLUS.Il prodotto funziona bene anche su un processore "forno" come un i9 10900 KF riuscendo a mantenere la CPU bella "fresca".Rispetto a molti AIO concorrenti ha i led solo sulle ventole (peraltro belli luminosi ed omogenei) e non sulla pompa ma dato che dovevo scegliere, ho preferito come in questo caso un'ottima funzionalità ad una discreta estetica.Silenzioso e funzionale, per ora è un prodotto che consiglierei tranquillamente.
