Arctic Liquid Freezer III - 360 (Black)

connected to the motherboard. With the MX-6 thermal compound included in the scope of delivery, you have everything you need for quick and easy installation. In noise normalised tests, the Liquid Freezer III reveals its true strength and outperforms many competitor products with its quiet yet powerful operation. The voltage converters of motherboards often work 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 employs a revised VRM fan. The 60 mm PWM-controlled fan enables almost silent cooling of the socket area in the case of insufficient VRM cooling, in housings with poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios. This enables a continuously higher load and a longer service life for the voltage converters. Intel's Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kg. This leads to stresses in the PCB, the die and the solder layer between the die and the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). Under high thermal loads, this can lead to problems in the long term. The patent-pending 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 backplate. The result is minimised mechanical stress on the mainboard and CPU, consistent cooling performance and quick and uncomplicated installation. The Liquid Freezer III is equipped with a specially developed PWM-controlled water pump, which has been further optimised in terms of both performance and noise. Thanks to the improved coldplate with an extended fin surface and optimised water channels, the Liquid Freezer III increases its performance while maintaining quiet operation.
