Features

  • LGA1851 AND LGA1700 CONTACT FRAME: Improved contact pressure distribution through Intel mounting frame for efficient heat transfer, thanks to even CPU contact surface
  • NATIVE AMD OFFSET MOUNTING: Optimized for the multi-die chiplet design of Ryzen processors - 5mm offset for optimal coverage of the CPU hotspot, resulting in more efficient heat transfer
  • ACTIVE COOLING OF THE VOLTAGE CONVERTERS: PWM-controlled VRM fan that additionally cools components in the base area, such as voltage converters
  • INTEGRATED CABLE MANAGEMENT: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated into the jacket of the hoses, which means that only one visible cable is connected to the motherboard
  • LIMITED COMPATIBILITY WITH A FEW MOTHERBOARDS: Oversized coolers on the M.2_1 slot can lead to compatibility problems. An overview and solution is available in the technical data, in the manual and on the manufacturer's website. Please use the compatibility check

  • Fantastic 420 aio PUSH/PULL. Noise to performance king!
This AIO is installed on a 14900K in an Antec Performance1 FT case. Upgrading from a CoolerMaster ML280 with upgraded fans and contact frame. Results of testing and my impressions of the product below: Installed two more fans in push/pull and it dropped a few C and a few watts. Did not install a fan in the lower position because of clearance issues. Might get a slim fan, there is about 26mm of clearance on the inside in the Antec case. (Or potentially case mod.) // Running 56x in Cinebench, Open case, open front. 100% fans. 24C ambient. CoolerMaster ML280 w/ 2x Artic P140 Bionix and Thermalrite contact frame: (R23: 41216, 86C, 272W) Arctic LF3 420 w/ 3x stock A-RGB fans, front mount: (R23: 41153, 77C, 264W) Arctic LF3 420 plus 2x Antec Storm 140 in push/pull: (R23: 41228, 74C, 260W) (This result is very close to the "250W" benchmark performed by STS with his 6x push/pull on a 13900K. In his review he shows that a push/pull setup makes the LF3 best in class, especially when considering noise/performance.) There are 3x stock Arctic A-rgb fans on the outside, and 2x Antec Storm T3 fans on the inside. The Antec Storm fans are not really SP fans, but they have good specs otherwise and are 30mm. Overall 12C lower than what I had before with the upgraded 280mm and Thermalrite contact frame. With non-rgb SP fans in six positions it should do even better. I am happy with this. For $120 this is equivalant to other top performers like the EK Nucleus CR360 or Lian Li Galahad II. I have the option to run 57x or (maybe) 58x, or can probably tune a silent 56x profile. The RGB pump cover looks great and while it is not a spinning fan, it has the same look as RGB fans, so it doesn't introduce anything distracting. No infinity mirrors or weird "objects" in your case. Looks like just another fan and can be set to look like them. The tubes are quite a bit longer than the previous AIO and have no problem looping around to a front install. There is plenty of slack in the Antec Performance1 FT case. Gamers Nexus was critical of the Arctic Contact Frame, and did some sort of lazer scan to prove there wasn't even pressure everywhere (unknown how he came to this conclusion), but you have to take everything as a whole. The performance is good, and its idling 2C lower than it did before, so I think contact is good. If you didn't watch the GN video, you might think the installation is excellent, as do I. There isn't a separate bracket to install, just the contact frame, so this makes alot of sense to simplify installation. And nothing was janky or loose. It tightened down in a confidence inspiring way. You also get the vrm cooling which may help the lifespan of your motherboard. I won't claim this is best in class (it might lose to an EK 360 in push pull), but everything it gives you for introductory $120 price is a great deal. If you can fit a 420, this is almost a no brainer unless you plan to run direct die. When they raise the price back to msrp, I think thats the point you maybe consider an EK direct die aio, or maybe an EK CR360 if you can't fit a 420. Finally, there is the six year warranty from a company with a good reputation. I would recommend this. I had reservations initially, but after the install, seeing it in my build and the performance that it gives, makes me glad I took a risk. I was able to get the RGB wired correctly without an extension, but there is absolutely no extra slack and cable runs are not ideal. If they just made the RGB connection 2" longer it would alleviate the "head scratcher" everyone will encounter when doing a front mount. (When fans are front installed, the integrated RGB cable loops over the top of the radiator which makes it too short.) It will be interesting if Arctic improves this product in the future. Certainly, better fans would make it even stronger, but any performance gap is probably remedied by push/pull. And if you have a case that fits a 420mm AIO, you probably also have the space to make it push/pull. ... show more

  • Favorite AIO cooler on the market!
Honestly didn’t know what to expect when I ordered the liquid III. Let me say I’m completely blown away as a first time buyer. Multiple different forums steered me to Arctic and I don’t regret it for a second. From the easy install to the customization via software, I don’t see myself buying any other brand in the future. ... show more

  • Keeps Temps Low but check fitment for your case
I bought this to keep temps down on my i7 13700K ,Works great but 420 version will not fit in a Lian Li 011 Dynamic without some extra hardware and modifications, I would recommend getting the 360 for that case.

  • Thicc rad. Great temps. Good contact.
Works as advertised. Watched gamers nexus videos on it and sold me instantly. There is some random air bubbles that I still hear moving around even after a few weeks of use. I’ve tried moving it around a ton and still happens. Temps are great on 14900k. Coldplate is very even also. The only con is there’s a rats nest of cables they could have really done better with and maybe sleeved them all together coming off the pump area. Otherwise great job arctic. I love it. I ended up sleeved the cables myself and did a decent job but I could have done better ... show more

  • This cooler is BIG
Please be careful when choosing ram and case. You may want to choose a low profile ram if you are going with the Lian Li Lancool III or anything smaller for top mount. I have the 420mm and it barely fits. I only have a few centimeters/millimeters of room between my ram and cooler top mounted. It is also extremely powerful, my i7-14700K has kicked on the fan mounted at the CPU. ... show more

  • Fits in the Thermaltake Tower 300
I haven’t been able to test the cooling just yet but this 420mm aio fits like a glove in my case and looks phenomenal.

  • Paid for Prime just to have it shipped with a week and a half shipping
Paid for Prime just to have it shipped with a week and a half shipping instead of two day prime shipping. Absolute scam on both companies. Can't recommend this to anyone because of this experience as this is fraud and false advertising. I still haven't received my product, was supposed to arrive today, only to see on my order that now it's not coming till Monday. What a disgrace on Amazon and Arctic part. ... show more

  • Best cooler on the market.
The media could not be loaded. If you have lga 1700 you prob have struggled with the 2 series, this is a huge upgrade and took me 5 seconds to install, perfect contact temps under 30 Celsius under 60 full cpu load. Don’t hesitate to pull the trigger with this upgrade or for a first time setup it’s worth it and competes with 200-300 aios all day long. 10/10 ... show more
