The Liquid Freezer III is ready for immediate use thanks to the pre-installed radiator fans in a push configuration. The fan cables are integrated into the tubing sleeve, so only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard. With the MX-6 thermal compound included in the delivery, you have everything you need for a quick and easy installation.
The Liquid Freezer III is highly compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will release the new Arrow Lake processors in the LGA1851 socket in the future. ARCTIC customers do not need to worry that the new processors will require new coolers. We guarantee full compatibility. All Liquid Freezer III can be used with Intel's new LGA1851 socket without restriction.
The independent loading mechanism (ILM) of Intel deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kilograms. This causes stress on the board, the die, and the solder layer between the die and the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). With high thermal load, this can lead to long-term problems. The mounting frame from ARCTIC does not deform the CPU, massively reduces the mechanical load on the CPU, is quick and easy to install, and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the CPU's backplate. As a result, the mechanical strain on the motherboard and CPU is minimized, cooling performance remains stable, and installation is quick and simple.
The voltage converters of motherboards often operate at their maximum temperature in combination with power-hungry CPUs. To compensate for the lack of airflow from a tower cooler, the Liquid Freezer III operates with a revised VRM fan. The 60 mm PWM-controlled fan allows for nearly silent cooling of the socket area when VRM cooling is insufficient, in cases with poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios. This allows for continuously higher loads and longer lifespan for the voltage converters.
The Liquid Freezer III is equipped with a specially developed PWM-controlled water pump, which has been further optimized in terms of performance and noise. Thanks to the improved cold plate with an extended fin surface and optimized water tubes, the Liquid Freezer III increases its performance while maintaining its silent operation.
Two connection cables - two control options:
Separate adjustment: The pump, the VRM fan, and the radiator fan can be adjusted independently of each other. This allows, for example, the VRM fan speed to be controlled independently of the CPU and the analog adjustment of the voltage converters' temperature via PWM.
All-in-One: Like the Liquid Freezer II, this allows the entire unit to be controlled via a single connection, with which the speed of the radiator fans is extracted. Consequently, the pump, the VRM, and the radiator fans can easily be controlled through a single PWM setting.
For several generations, AMD has been using a multi-chiplet design for its Ryzen desktop processors. Unlike Intel's CPUs, the hotspot on these processors is not centrally located under the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader), but is slightly offset. Therefore, AMD's mounting solution has a 5 mm offset in order to achieve optimal heat dissipation.
The cooling surface of the 38 mm thick radiator has been expanded by 23% with the increase of the fin stack. This allows not only improved heat dissipation but also a larger volume of fluid. Consequently, heat buildup in the water cooling system is slowed down, and power and temperature spikes can be effectively managed for a longer period.
ARCTIC relies on the well-tested P fans, which have already received many awards for their excellent performance. The P series is particularly suitable for use in heatsinks and radiators with high fin density. Thanks to their high static pressure, they achieve significantly better results compared to fans designed for high airflow.
