Overview

Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB: bright and powerful

With the Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB all-in-one liquid CPU cooling kit, Arctic puts all its know-how at the service of gaming thanks to an improved pump specially developed in-house and controlled by PWM. Thanks to this system, it doesn't run at full load all the time, but adjusts its operation to the processor's temperature to limit its noise level at idle. The system is completed by high static pressure fans and another 60 mm fan near the pump in charge of cooling the motherboard's VRM circuits.

Take advantage of Arctic expertise

  • The Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB is ready to use thanks to its pre-installed radiator fans in push configuration.
  • With the splitter cable, the pump, VRM fan and radiator fans can be controlled separately or synchronised via a single PWM signal with the all-in-one cable
  • MX-6 thermal paste included
  • PWM-controlled 60 mm VRM fan provides socket area cooling when VRM cooling is insufficient, in case of poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios
  • The Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB is equipped with a specially developed in-house PWM-controlled water pump that has been optimised in terms of performance and noise.
  • Improved cold plate with extended fin surface and optimised water ducts enables the Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB to increase performance while maintaining quiet operation
  • The cooling surface area of the 38mm thick radiator has been extended by 23% thanks to an increased fin stack. This means not only better heat dissipation, but also a greater volume of liquid.
  • The Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB is based on the P Pro series fans, which have a high static pressure

    Watercooling arctic

    Works well and with good performance but is a little noisy when the pc is nearby, but I recommend it

    Ryzen 7 9800x3d

    Simple: before, I had really outrageous temperatures on all games.
    Path of Exile 2: 80+°C on average.
    Cyberpunk 2077: up to 90°C during loading, otherwise 78/80°C on average.
    Crimson Desert: 83°C on average, etc.

    I even had to lower the graphics to avoid temperatures that were too high, otherwise it would go up to a constant 90°C.

    Since I got the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 240, no game anymore — even at max graphics with RTX ON — goes above 70°C on average. I was on an air cooler before.

    Whether on Star Citizen or X4: Foundations (which uses the processor a lot), it’s really perfect.
    And thanks to the store seller who recommended it to me.

    The Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 ARGB

    The Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 ARGB is a very high-performance 360 mm AIO liquid cooling system, considered one of the best in its price range. It offers excellent cooling capabilities and easily handles powerful processors like Ryzen 7/9 or Intel i7/i9, even under sustained load. Thanks to its thick radiator and efficient pumping, temperatures stay low and stable. Noise levels are also well controlled, making it a relatively quiet solution for its performance. The ARGB lighting is present but remains understated and aesthetic. However, its thick radiator can cause compatibility issues in some cases, and installation requires a bit more attention than average. The pump can also become audible at high speed in a very quiet environment. In summary, it’s an excellent choice for a powerful gaming PC, offering a very good balance between performance, quiet operation, and price.

    A hell of a mouth

    Liquid cooling, for the right processor. It does the job and has a great look in a glass case
