INTRODUCTION

   Whether it's for their impressive cooling efficiency, looks, easy installation or even the zero clearance issues one thing is for certain, AIO (all-in-one) liquid CPU coolers are currently dominating the market. Now even though most people i know (myself included) primarily care about cooling efficiency there are countless consumers out there who care about looks mostly (however the majority probably wants the best of both worlds) which is why almost every single manufacturer in the market today has at least one RGB/ARGB model available. Our friends over at ARCTIC have also been updating their Liquid Freezer II line of AIO liquid CPU coolers by equipping them with RGB/ARGB fans and today I’ll be testing the 360 tri-fan variant.

   ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, initiated and continues to shape the trend towards quiet cooling systems. In addition to an extensive range of CPU/GPU coolers and fans, ARCTIC produces high-quality monitor arms and wall brackets as well as practical tech equipment. The company, headed by founder Magnus Huber, has offices in Germany, Hong Kong and the USA. It has won over PC enthusiasts in more than 45 countries with innovative and user-friendly products that are high quality and sold at fair prices. For almost 20 years, ARCTIC has stood for comfortable computing, stellar service and personal support.

   A few days back ARCTIC unveiled the final members of their Liquid Freezer II A-RGB line of AIO liquid CPU coolers which as of now includes 240/280/360/420mm models (2x120/2x140/3x120/3x140) which should be enough to cover almost every single user out there. Of course just like with previous models they all feature 38mm thick aluminum radiators which in the case of the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB which i have here is paired with three 120mm P12 PWM fluid-dynamic bearing A-RGB fans (1800RPM/48.8CFM/1.85mmH2O/22.5dBA/12 ARGB LEDs), 450mm long braided EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) tubes with integrated cable management (routing) and a PWM pump/waterblock combo (2000RPM/copper plate) equipped with a top 3000RPM VRM fan (this does seem to help reduce VRM temperatures). Needless to say, this is also an 4pin powered model (5.3W consumption for the entire AIO) and as for warranty ARCTIC covers all their Liquid Freezer II lines of AIO liquid CPU coolers with a very generous 6-year limited one.
