    • One nut wonder
Style: Liquid Freezer II 280
-------------------- TL/DR: -------------------------- 20+C drop in CPU temps during gaming! Mid teens drop at idle. Exceptional performance with almost inaudible fans at 100% speed (case on floor 3ft away). at 100%, if any other sound were going on in the room, at any reasonable level, the fans would not be audible. It's a soft rushing air sound (i'm using 3 filtered intake, 1 exhaust in my case btw). it would be a pleasing, though low, white noise to sleep to btw. My MS Surface laptop fan just kicked on and is louder at arms length from me than these fans at 100% 3ft away. I'd say that's impressive. My impressions of Arctic: they are a smaller manufacturer who decided to spend some R&D to build and sell some superior products without the marketing overhead of others. Arctic has 120/240/360 & 280 models, buy one if it fits your needs, you are likely to be impressed. (And yes, there is a plug under the cpu pump housing if you must unplug the VRM fan) ------------------------- full review + 2 updates ------------------------------------------------- Why one nut wonder? The CPU pump housing only has one nut!! Like a healthy man, it's supposed to have two, and really needs two. Suffice it to say, it looks big and gorgeous. And by big, I do mean big. A youtube review called it "Optimus Prime's cod piece", and yeah, that's pretty accurate! :D I probably should have gotten the 240. I have a moveable HD mount thankfully which I had to move rearward to it's last mount to make installation possible. It's going to be impressive once I get the replacement. As for what I can speak on, it looks very solid and we'll made. The hoses have serious gerth, the braiding looks great, and the pump housing definitely looks like Optimus Prime's cod piece as one YouTube reviewer joked. Packaging is very good, even if the box looks a tad generic. But let's be honest, save $20 on designing/printing a prettier box and charge me $20 less, yeah me!! If sent artic an email so I'll come back later with an update as to how quickly they respond and how well they take care of me. I'm really not wanting to have to return then reorder as I don't have the additional room on my account atm. Step up Artic, please 🥰 UPDATE#1 Support responded to my late Thurs night email early Fri, and an hour later had approval to ship me a new unit along with a shipping label to send the 1st unit back. So Mon or Tues I hope to receive the new unit. more to follow... UPDATE#2 Received replacement Tuesday, date I guessed it would arrive based on quickness of shipping of original item. thankfully, this unit is a two nut wonder, and i was able to successful mount it. So, now that I have it working, on with some real comments. Installation: Unit is very large, and a bit cumbersome, yet, that is exactly what one would expect from a AIO CLC cooler of this size. Thankfully, due to the failed first install, I had already reorganized my case, and only needed to remove 2 front fans and the AMD cooler. The Fans do need to be reversed as I need to use the unit in pull mode, and it comes from the factory in Push mode (manual shows an expectation of top mount vs front. Only question mark, it felt like the pump head was connected to the hoses upside down, as the natural ark of the hoses seemed to want the VRM fan pointed at the GPU (in hind sight, i should have mounted it that way, to blow air on the back of the GPU since my board has properly sinked VRMs (AC Carbon Pro). Alas, i did mount it with the fan facing the VRM's, and it was a little tough as the backplate wouldn't stay in place and I had to put the box the pump was shipped in under the case to hold the plate so I could get the screws in. Performance: this is the all important part for most. As it good? does it work? the short answer, Hell Yeah!. Prior to installation, i ran a couple benchmarks, plus I'd watched the CPU temps while gaming. Generally the CPU would be 70-80C while gaming at 4150 MHz (R5 3600, using standard AMD overclock). I also ran in "silent" mode, with the CPU under-clocked to 2800. CPU would get to about 50 in gaming with minimal loss of FPS. In both bench tests, impact of about 2 - 5 FPS. Heaven benchmark saw less than a 2 FPS change between this speed and max of 4150. also benched with AC Odyssey's built in benchmark. Here, there was a 5 FPS difference. Temps: idle - while typing, I'm in silent, temp is 36C, fan 20%/365 rpm. During Heaven, with the AMD cooler, 45C base, 57C during benchmark. With the AC280, it was idling at 34C and peaked at 42.3C. So under load, didn't reach temp the AMD cooler was at idle. At MAX CPU speed (note the test program, Heaven or AC Odyssey, is still running when I change the CPU setting), Heaven on the AMD cooler was idling 52C, during bench saw 74 max with an avg in the mid 60's. on the AC280, idle ~39, max was 60.1, yet avg is 50 or less. AC Odyssey, AMD cooler on silent has an idle ~50, max of 63, and avg between 60-62C. With Max CPU speed, idle ~52, max of 85.9, avg in the mid 70s with lots of spikes to over 80. On the AC 280, CPU silent mode idle ~37, max of 48, avg of 41-43 (so 20C less than stock!). at Max CPU, idle is ~40-42 (noticed, the cpu fan indicates 1500 rpm and 100%, which doesn't match my fan curves, so not sure. I can sort of hear the fans, though they aren't even as loud as the white noise I play when sleeping). Max temp was 60.9, avg in the low 50's, ~53. So more than 20C cooler than stock! Conclusions: Clearly, this thing performs. if you can get a 280 to fit, I'd recommend it for the extra $10 just because. Otherwise, if you can only fit the 240, I'd expect the same awesome performance. DO NOTE, the Arctic radiator is about 50% thicker than most other brands. This unit requires room. Quality of the build is surprising, considering the packaging looks like a standard low cost OEM manufacturer. I love they are spending money on R&D more than marketing. Let word of mouth do your marketing. Bravo. I'd like to give some other temp results as well. Setting my CPU to Balanced (stock 3600MHz mode), temp is 32C fans 35% (front cover removed). Temp increased 1C when I put the cover back on. Setting to Silent (2800MHz), the fans drop to 20%, temp hovers between 32/33. Setting to Extreme/Max (4151MHz) temp jumps to 38C with fans at 100%. Using a custom fan curve, CPU still at 4151, temp gets to 38, then jumps to 48 then drops to 38 then pops back up. Perhaps my curve needs some tweaking now. At 38 the fans are at 37%, at 48 they are running 50%. Can't hear them at all. My work Surface 2 Laptop fans are louder (it kicked in while I had these fans running 100% to observe the noise level). So, should you consider this over all the other CLC AIO units on the market? if you couldn't care less about RGB, yes. If you want RGB, buy the others unless you just want a rad this large. Clearly Arctic is following in the Hyundai/Kia mold of producing a good product with a better than standard warranty, yet spending minimal on marketing to keep costs below anyone else in the market and letting word of mouth do their marketing. Arctic is putting a 10yr warranty on their fans now, and while this only get 2, it's still 2 years on something this complex with their own internal pump design, not the same ole rehashed pump everyone else uses from a 3rd party. You could be forgiven for thinking Arctic is the Microcenter house brand for fans, their boxes are 2 color, blue/while, with little marketing gimmicks. I applaud that approach. So combining that approach with exceptional pricing, I had to give this a try. I do not think I'll be disappointed long term. I hope not at least. -------------------------- July 2021 update Still going strong, absolutely no issues to date. Fantastic cooler. Runs 24/7, as I almost never turn my system off. ... show more

    • cool, quiet, minimalistic
Style: Liquid Freezer II 280

Review Image by Hyun Hyun
Background (skip to go to review): My roommate has a prebuilt gaming pc, but her CPU cooler went bad, causing the CPU to get to 100 degrees C and throttling her CPU. Games went from ultra 150fps to low 17fps, and even Microsoft Word was lagging. Replacing the cooler fixed everything, and her PC is back to blistering fast speeds. Pros: incredibly cool quiet minimalistic (only 1 wire, no LEDs) complete control with just one 4-pin PWM (connect to CPU FAN header) Cons: the manual and parts make certain configurations difficult (I wanted to set up a push intake at the front of the case, but had to settle for a pull intake at the front) online installation manual is a bit scuffed Review: This cooler is really good at cooling. Games barely raise the CPU temp. Tasks like installations and stuff raise the temperature up to 40 degrees. I have the "Smart fan mode" enabled, so the fan speeds are automatically regulated and running not even close to the max fan speeds. There is barely any noise, even with the case open. The minimalism of the setup is amazing. I was looking at other coolers, and you need to plug the LED header in, multiple fan headers, and a SATA power cable. This setup, you just plug your one 4-pin cable into the CPU FAN header, and everything will be automatically controlled by your motherboard. The two 140mm fans are plugged into a Christmas-light-style cable that comes out of the radiator, so if your fans ever go bad, or you want to upgrade your fans with some RGB or Noctua fans, you totally can. The one gripe I have with this cooler is that certain configurations are difficult to do. I wanted to set up a push intake at the front of the case because the top of my case does not have the fan mounts needed to do a push exhaust. The manual and parts given strongly encourage you to have the radiator on the outside (touching the case) and not the fans. This means that if the top of your case does not support 280mm fans for a push exhaust configuration, then you have to set up your radiator on the front with a pull intake configuration. You may be able to do the push intake setup if you had some patience, and held all the parts in place while screwing them into the case, but once again, this method is not even described in the manual, and honestly, the pull configuration is keeping my CPU pretty cool anyway. Finally, the other dislike of this cooler is the online installation manual. There are many screws and parts that look very similar, and the manual is not descriptive on the differences between these parts, nor are the parts labeled in any way to help. There is a step that is completely skipped in the manual (it goes from step 1 to step 3). As you start using up all the parts, praying that you don't strip any of the screws unintentionally, the installation gets smoother. One other cool thing is that the installation parts comes with some extra screws and parts, so if you happen to need certain parts for mounting hard drives or fans, you're in luck. There were 4 screws that I was able to use to mount my SSD to the case (it was just free floating in the back of the case before). ... show more

    • The best IO I've purchased thus far.
Style: Liquid Freezer II 280
Review Image by CAPN CAPN
It's pretty solid. The performance is on point, and the lack of RGB might actually be a plus for some folks. Design-wise, it's straightforward – no flashy lights or RGB craziness. If you're into a clean and minimal look for your setup, this cooler fits the bill. The matte finish adds a touch of sophistication. Now, diving into performance, it's impressive. The Liquid Freezer II 280 keeps things cool without making a fuss. It's efficient and gets the job done without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Installation was a breeze, and the build quality feels sturdy. The lack of RGB might disappoint some who are all about the flashy aesthetics, but if you're like me and prefer a more understated vibe, this cooler is a win. I'm no tech guru, but for those looking for a reliable cooler without the RGB glitz, the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 is worth considering. It's all about that clean performance without the unnecessary frills. I'm liking it. ... show more

It keeps my temps nice and cool. It's quite hard of a fit in my NR200 case but that's not a fault of the cooler. The backplate mounting brackets weren't updated for the LGA 1700 socket even though the box claimed they were. Thankfully my old backplate still worked. The instructions on their website leave a lot to be desired. Despite all this, it's an excellent cooler and worth the money. Just be aware of some potential building woes. ... show more
