CONCLUSION

   Due to their size tri-fan AIO models (360/420) may not be as compatible with PC cases as their dual-fan brothers (240/280) but their improved cooling efficiency levels usually justify that. In the case of the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB the roughly 2 degrees difference with its smaller brother (240) may not be ground breaking but it’s certainly something people who like to push their CPUs will appreciate. What makes the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB a lot better than its smaller brother however are its noise levels which means that even at heavy load this AIO is almost inaudible. Yes, even the 240 model is far from what I’d call loud but this, this is simply put even better. As for its A-RGB lighting, unfortunately my test rig doesn’t support it so I only test that briefly with either my Z490 or Z590 test rigs that do and yes, it looks great (A-RGB lighting also on its base however would make a great addition).

   With a price tag currently set at 112.11Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB AIO is amongst the lowest-cost models of its size, most of which come from brands which unlike ARCTIC have yet to establish themselves in the market. Cooling efficiency, noise levels and cost are the 3 things that make or break any AIO liquid CPU cooler and since the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB ticks all 3 boxes (and then some) it certainly deserves the Golden Award.
