THE LIQUID FREEZER III 420 A-RGB

 

 

 

 

 

Measuring 458mm in length, 138mm in width and 38mm in thickness the radiator of the Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB is almost identical to that of its predecessor.

 

 

Here you can see that the radiator is slightly thicker than just 38mm whereas with the fans it gets up to roughly 66mm.

 

 

All three P14 PWM fans are pre-mounted and have their cables already routed as seen above.

 

 

In terms of FPI (fins per inch) this radiator comes to 14 (close to 15).

 

 

The 450mm long braided EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) tubes should be long enough for even the largest PC cases out there.

 

 

In order to prevent possible damage during shipping ARCTIC has removed the fan/ARGB part of the pump/waterblock.

 

 

As you can easily tell from the above picture the 60mm VRM fan pushes all around the pump so it should provide some degree of cooling for VRM and even your RAM.

 

 

ARCTIC as expected has placed their logo on top of the pump (keep in mind that because of the 60mm VRM fan the pump/waterblock combo is larger compared to other AIO models so it may have clearance issues with your M.2 SSD cooler - ARCTIC has a compatibility list online).

 

 

The tubes only rotate around 30 degrees from the pump end, but I had no issues while mounting the liquid freezer III 420 A-RGB.

 

 

Just like with its predecessor the coldplate may not be very large but it's adequate for the supported CPUs.

 

 

Another similarity between the liquid freezer ii and iii lines are the P14 PWM fans (1900RPM/69.90CFM/2.0mmH2O).
