In noise normalised tests, the Liquid Freezer III shows its true strength, outperforming many competitors with its quiet yet powerful operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its popular predecessor, it sets new standards in the field of compact water cooling and offers variants with 240, 280, 360 and 420 mm radiators – the non-A-RGB version is available in black, while the A-RGB versions are offered in both black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooling surface of the 38 mm thick radiator has been extended by 23% by increasing the fin stack. This not only enables improved heat dissipation, but also a larger liquid volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntel's Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kg. This causes pressure in the PCB, the die and the solder layer between the die and 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, reduces the mechanical load on the CPU massively, is quick and easy to install and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the CPU's backplate. As a result, mechanical stress on the mainboard and CPU is minimised, cooling performance remains consistent and installation is quick and uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo compensate the lack of airflow from a tower cooler, the Liquid Freezer III works with a revised VRM fan. The 60 mm PWM-controlled fan enables almost silent cooling of the socket area when VRM cooling is insufficient, in cases with poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios. This enables a continuously higher load and a longer service life for the voltage converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Liquid Freezer III is equipped with a specially developed PWM-controlled water pump. Equipped with a newly developed PWM-controlled pump, optimised in terms of performance and volume, as well as a coldplate with an extended fin surface and improved water ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fibre-reinforced 45 cm long tubing of the Liquid Freezer III enables installation even in large cases and effectively prevents evaporation of the coolant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Liquid Freezer III is multi-compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. All Liquid Freezer III can be used with the new LGA1851 socket from Intel without limitation. Intel has tested and confirmed the Liquid Freezer III on the i9-13900K\/KF, i9-14900K\/KF and i9-13900KS in the Enthusiast and Desktop category. In these tests, Intel considered both the mounting with contact frame and the cooler's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Extend the compatibility with LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151 and LGA1150 sockets using the LGA1200\/115X Mounting Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome motherboards are incompatible with the Liquid Freezer III due to oversized SSD coolers in the M.2_1 slot. We provide a suitable M.2 cooler free of charge for affected motherboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product includes the main water block with an integrated pump, a 240mm radiator, two 120mm fans, and necessary cabling and splitters for connection to a motherboard.
