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

  • Long Overdue Upgrade
Style: Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB, black
Decided it was finally time to get a new AIO cooler—old one worked fine in terms of performance, but the water running through it was just super loud and grating on my ears when I’d be on my PC for hours at a time. That’s to say, this cooler is a lot quieter and temps are still great! ~40 when idling but when I’m running games or have several programs open at once, ~50-60 depending on the load. Pros: - quiet - high performance - compatible with AM4 (comes with brackets) - PWM pins (I’m aware many modern AIOs are PWM compatible but my old one was not, so this is a notable upgrade) Cons: - no paper instructions—there’s a QR to access instructions online and they wouldn’t be very clear to someone who has never installed an AIO before Other things of note: - radiator is quite thick; I use a ATX mid case with MSI mobo and sapphire GPU. Radiator just barely squeezed in Overall a great upgrade and well worth! ... show more

  • Awesome AIO with a kinda big caveat
Style: Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB, black
I got this for my ryzen 9 7900x3d and it’s been amazing! It’s a great value and I haven’t seen over 75c, ever! And I’m talking cinebench r23 multicore for 30 minutes, heavy occt cpu test for an hour, 120watt+ constant load, and especially not in any games. It also runs very quiet and the fact that you can set the fan speeds for the pump, vrm, and rad separately is a nice touch, compared to the LF2 lineup. I will say that the mounting is kinda wonky, compared to other coolers, and kinda my only complaint. For one, on ryzen cpus, it mounts lower and doesn’t cover the entire IHS. This is actually a better thing, since it mounts directly over the die/ccd’s and cools more efficiently, but this does mean it can only be mounted one way, and I fear it might be an issue for more novice builders (who might not read clear instructions). Now, my biggest gripe has to be how difficult it is to actually screw on. It uses 2 spring retention screws that go into the mounting plate, problem is they’re as stiff as a board and require the strength of Zeus to properly screw in. Im not kidding, I’ve used 2 of these lf3 models, and I was worried I’d bend a pin on the socket, after I did that once before, or break the motherboard. Thank god I didn’t delid my cpu, I know I’d crack the die. After that, the argb LED’s are bright and it’s nice how the pump can have separate argb functionality, but both fans act as one large LED strip instead of being mirrored. So, any effects applied to the fan further from the hose is about 1-2 seconds behind. Overall, great build quality and excellent bang for your buck, just work on making it easier to mount. ... show more

  • True and chilling EXCELLENCE!
Style: Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB, black
First off I'll go ahead and list my specs: 5800x3d CPU , Corsair 4000D Airflow Case, B-550F Gaming WiFi ii Motherboard, Gigabyte 4070 Super GPU. Fit: It does fit up top very well, no issues there, however, the hoses run a little long so they almost touch the glass inside the chasis. Other than that I'm satisfied with the space it occupies. Installation: This is the part a lot of people are gonna have issues with, at least I did on the AM4 platform. The problem I had was getting the screws to actually engage on the bracket while keeping even pressure and line up. All I can say is take a deep breath, do little by little, and try not to get too overwhelmed. Once you get it seated , the hardest part is over. : Performance: My idle temps in the bios stayed around 36-38c which is very good for my specific processor. Ran Cinebench R23 a few times and got a very solid score consistently. Overall I'm very pleased with the cooling. Rgb is a bonus and it looks fantastic in my opinion! Tip: Pump was kinda loud out the box so I went into my bios and set my fan curves to 100% for about 15 min. to let the liquid run through and settle where it needed, definitely seemed to help! I highly recommend this and although I'm coming from a solid air cooler (Scythe Fuma 2 Rev.B) I believe this will be a worth while purchase in the long run! ... show more
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024 by Was going from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a 5600X to this beast of a CPU. Now playing at 1440p may have tapered some the performance gain this processor is known for at 1080p but let me tell you, smooth creamy gameplay, consistent stability, and usually top end frames(depending on your graphics card) are worth the cost! This cpu has made my gaming experience much more enjoyable no matter the game. PBO2 tuner combined with this card are a must for any new AM4 builds or people looking to upgrade cause this thing will stay cool forever and the 1% are absolutely phenomenal!

  • Terrible Pump Bracket Design
Style: Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB, black
There are alot of good things about this cooler, but it has a fatal flaw. Love the cable management and preinstalled fans. All of that is fantastic. The pump mounting bracket is where it falls apart. It feels almost impossible to get it to thread. I can't even get it on without thermal paste just to test. Unforgivable bracket design, I worried about damaging my motherboard trying to install this hot garbage. Good luck trying not to tear your hair out installing this. Hard pass for me; returning. ... show more

Have had it for 7 months and it runs very quietly with my ryzen 7700x. The cpu idles at 34°C core temp and 49°C package temp which is slightly warm but during games doesn't exceed 84°C package with surprisingly little noise so it could just be my cpu runs hot. The tubing is a little long for my Asus AP201 MFF PC case but still fits well and the fans preinstalled onto the radiator is convenient. ... show more
