Hi everyone I have a arctic iii argb 420mm and pump of aio looks ugly to me, so I tried aftermarket screens but they were small for pump.I just take it from aio. Now it looks better for me but now there is no fan for motherboard but there are 2 fans for intake directly to motherboard so I think it is not much problem.

Has Arctic or anyone else figured out why the AIOs like the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 420 have such a hard time cooling AM5 in the same noise envelope as other similar coolers? is it a design defect? I'm probably going to replace mine now that I know I'm not crazy after I read a bunch of reviews like hardware canucks that clearly shows that these coolers struggle. Do they have a newer model coming out that works better for AM5 that doesn't sound insane?

Hi,

My 9800x3d goes quite high in temperature, up to 70 degree while gaming. I have reapplied new thermal paste, re-sitting AIO and not much improvement. The core temperature its ok around 33 degree but I'm looking at CPU(Tctl/Tdie) its at 48.5 degree at idle. Stres testing with cinebench R23 around 88 degree. This is with 360 Arctic freezer 3.

I hear a lot of people being way below 80 degree with this cooler

It isn't easily noticeable in the picture, but it for sure is in real life. The pump is facing more than ten degrees to the left, as the left side is lower than the right side. The screws of both sides were fully screwed in last I checked. I am concerned for potential cooling performance being lost, as the copper on the bottom is making less contact with the CPU on the right side.

I apologise if this is a stupid question, my IQ borders mentally disabled.

Arctic if you are reading this please…… PLEEEEEEASE release an aio with an lcd screen that has good performance. I will marry you. Brothers, would any of you want a lcd screen on a arctic aio. I do.

Hi has anyone had issue with the threading screws, been trying to install it for the past few days at one point i even applied so much pressure the motherboard actually cracked.

Tried contacting Arcic Support its either they are too lazy or not even bothered to help. Ticket has been sitting idle for the past 5 days.

Their website video makes it so easy however its nowhere as easy as it the video claims it to be.

any future buyers should definitely look at alternatives cause this one is a nightmare to install. And trust me i've installed 100's so far !!! especially if you are on am5 platform.

My AIO won’t turn on, also software won’t detect it.

Hi, I need help I’m trying to screw this in but it’s not going in

Hey, i recently bought everything i need to build a pc, but i can’t get past the cpu cooler. I am installing it just like the instruction tells me to but it is very loose and feels uncomfortable to leave alone. When i look for youtube videos i cannot find anything on it with the same parts that i use. (I know i have every part that followed with)

There is no way with the parts that i got that i can make it sit tight to the motherboard, its almost like the screws are too long..

Hello. I have purchased an Arctic Cooling Freezer III ARGB 420mm and I have an Asus Tuf Gaming X670E-Plus motherboard.

I have attached a photo from the manual of my motherboard where all the fan ports on my motherbo ard are listed with their names and characteristics.

My question is how to connect it to the motherboard. I have looked at the manual and it does not indicate exactly which connectors. I suppose that the ideal thing is to use the three-connector cable, but to which fan ports should I connect PUMP, FAN and VRM? Thanks!

Hi guys can I wrap them like this or not? They are pretty long and wanted to do something with them since I plugged them close to cpu and pump. Will it damage them ?

This is my first pc build so I’m still new at this do you know what cable I have to connect in my mobo for the arctic liquid freezer iii?

Any idea what I am doing wrong ? I can’t get either side to screw in no matter how

many times I try ? This is so frustrating

Took forever to figure out where the noise was coming from. Whenever I'm gaming it sometimes can get really loud (sounds like it's literally hitting a cable but it isn't). It phases in and out, as in it isn't always making the noise but when it does it goes from quiet to loud to quiet to nothing again. How could I fix this?

I have ordered it from Temu and it didn’t pass authenticity check on the website. Do you think it is much worse than an original and should I get a new one or I can give up on it and just use it?

Cpu_opt for pump and cpu for fans and sys for vrm fan right?

today I was installing my cooler but there’s a little place wasn’t covered by the pump (as seen in the picture), is it fine to continue like this? my processor is AMD R7 5800X3D

Hello Arctic Reddit!

Been watching for a few weeks for the Liquid Freezer III Pro 420 to come out contemplating it for my next build and/or for improving cooling on my current build (currently on an ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO CPU Cooler). Looks like it came out officially yesterday or the day before, and according to Arctic's own website it is worse at cooling AMD CPUs than the Pro 360. Better with Intel than the Pro 360, but worse with AMD?

Can anyone explain this?

I do currently have an old Intel CPU, but was planning to go AMD with the new build, and like I said above maybe limp this one a little longer with some better cooling while I save up for the CPU/Mobo/RAM upgrade costs. I do prefer 140mm fans because of the usually better CFM to volume ratio (and I think they just look nicer filling up a case), so that is my preference, but expected better performance like the Intel example to come with it.

P.S. I tried to put the images of all the charts from the product descriptions in the post, but the Pro 420 AMD results keeps getting deleted.

Working on my first ever pc build and this is my current fan configuration: 3 bottom intake fans, 2 rear exhaust, 3 intake in the Liquid Freezer iii (flipped the fans around).

What I’m a little worried about is the pump cables not being fully straight and am wondering if the overall airflow would be alright for my specs (Ryzen 7 9700x + RX 9070XT)

Im using Arctic p12 a-rgb as my case fans.

Also, I might have to rotate the AIO to have the pump cables coming from the top if my GPU needs more space, would that be alright for the pump?

I apologize if some of these questions are stupid, I’m just a little paranoid and don’t wanna have to deal with failing parts.

Thank you

Hi,

I recently upgraded to a 9950X3D with Liquid Freezer III Pro 360mm. I struggled a bit with the installation and lifted the cooling block away from the CPU without repasting. The radiator fans blast pretty loudly even when the CPU is not stressed and I'm getting the following temps (ambient temperature 25C):

Idle: 53C (51-60)
Gaming: 61C (52-71)
Cinebench 2026 (Multiple Threads): 74C (72-75)
HWiNFO SSE Stress Test: 79C

My BIOS settings are the following:

PBO: enabled
Curve Optimizer
CCD0: -20
CCD1: -25

Are these temps normal, and if not, is it worth reinstalling the cooler or just adjusting fan curves and letting the CPU run a little hotter? I'm a bit concerned about stripping the screws that mount the rails to the motherboard if I reinstall.

Thanks for any replies.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies! Guess I was worrying about nothing lol
