Features
- CONTACT FRAME FOR INTEL LGA1851 | LGA1700: Optimized contact pressure distribution for longer CPU life and better heat dissipation
- ARCTIC's P14 PRO FAN: More power at any speed - more powerful and quieter than the P14, especially at low speeds. Higher maximum speed for optimal cooling performance under high load
- NATIVE OFFSET MOUNTING FOR INTEL AND AMD: Shifting the cold plate center towards the CPU hotspot ensures more efficient heat transfer
- INTEGRATED VRM FAN: PWM-controlled fan that lowers the temperature of the voltage converters and thus ensures reliable performance
- INTEGRATED CABLE MANAGEMENT: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated in the sheathing of the hoses so that only a single visible cable is connected to the motherboard

Upgraded system from Ryzen 5900X to 9900X. I don't overclock or game much, but 9900X set for higher TDP in BIOS. Initially reused old 240mm AIO (Corsair H100i Pro). Idle temp was ~50 C and 95+ C under heavy video editing with some throttling - needed to upgrade AIO too. Pros: Fantastic price of $86 can't be beat. Same system with 280mm Arctic idles in high 30's C and only hits mid-high 70's C under same load. That's 20C cooler under load! and no throttling. Supplied fans cool fantastically, yet can barely be heard under full load (1650 rpm) The Arctic components are impressively built. All parts HD and well finished. The AMD mounting was easy to install. Out of box everything setup for top of case install - nothing to change. Minor Cons: No install documentation provided - Web only and cannot be downloaded - had to view on another device during install. My case was "approved" (Corsair 4000D Airflow), but everything was very tight. Fan wires and memory modules inaccessible after radiator in place. Hoses are stiff - had to restrain with big tie wrap to allow case door to be put back. Pump speed reporting whacky - out of box showed 4000-4800 rpm? Had to dial-in a 0.6 adj factor to get readings to 2800 max. If it will fit, highly recommend this AIO for hot CPUs

Make sure that you check your case and motherboard compatibility because this one is a thick radiator. I was able to fit this in a Corsair 4000d barely with a Asus Tuf x570 plus motherboard and set it up was a breeze. You do have to put down some significant pressure on the screws that connect to the bracket in order to install the contact plate. Temps are in the low 30s and never goes past 70°C while gaming. Overall for the price and performance it’s worth it.

Really shows you don't need all these bells and whistles and needing to spend a whole lot on amazing performance. Keeps my 5800x3D nice and cool even under extreme workloads.

Arctic always has great aio's for a decent price but anyone using these in an itx case or have space constraints should really do your homework before buying. The issue comes with their rotatable 90's coming out of the pump/block. They do not rotate 360° and that causes issues with the hoses sticking out farther than the actually pump itself and of course you won't be able to close your case on a sfx build. They really only rotate about 180°, not sure why they designed it this way bc other models can twist all the way. We all know an extra half inch or so on a sfx build means the world in those builds. But performance is great especially for a 280mm.

This is my 3rd arctic AIO cooler, and so far they have been great. with the version 3 coolers though, they have substantially altered the mounting system by incorporating a flexible piece of metal into it to provide the contact tension, and quite frankly its kinda horrible. You need to apply A LOT OF DOWNWARD FORCE to get the screws on both sides to catch, and its danged NERVE WRACKING. Hearing a screw clank out of its location, switch to that one, screw on the other side pops out, etc... I was so afraid I'd crack the damned CPU or damage the motherboard. and because of the back and forth I probably dont have an even spread of paste.. 7800x3d seems to idle at about 44c at about 50 under moderate usage, hits low to middle 60's on some games... I'd suggest (ARCTIC), add screw threads to the bracket, you slide the cooler over, then use knurled knobs on each side to fasten it down, that way you could make the screws longer and you wouldnt have any issues. But anyways, I guess Dont Be Too Afraid To Apply Force, it seems to be ok. but its kinda a bad design (IMO) Good cooler though and it works great.

Given the reviews I've watched and read I expected this to be difficult to install, especially when mounting the block to the CPU on my Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 mainboard. Instead, I was able to get the thing installed within a couple minutes without removing the board from the case, or even laying the case down on its side. The mount appears solid as my CPU idle temps are in the mid 30s in the hottest room in the house. This thing cools my Ryzen 7 7800X3D better than the 360mm AIO it replaced. I mounted this cooler on the front of a Fractal Design North with tempered glass side panel. As shipped, with the fans attached, the radiator will not fit in a tubes-down orientation if your GPU is 270mm or longer (mine is 267mm). You can sandwich the case's front fan mounting rails between the fans and radiator to make it fit quite comfortably, though. I chose to mount the fans inside and the radiator outside to minimize audible fan noise, which was somewhat challenging but worth it. Be aware, though, that due to the thickness of the radiator this will necessitate the removal of the filter from the front panel. I also opted to use a pair of 140mm Noctua NF-A14 fans left over from a previous build instead of the Arctic ones that came with the unit. I'm sure this contributes to the overall silence of the system.

This thing is way too bulky! Even the fans are bulky! Not to mention that its nearly impossible mounting this on your CPU. Very risky doing so, almost damaged my 7950x3d trying to install this $100 aio. Doesn't fit the Coolermaster nr200p v2 without buying thinner fans. This was my first Artic product and I'm completely let down. Also, not taking GamersNexus as a viable review channel now that I've experienced this product which he was praising.

Well, it’s an arctic product. What that means is that this aio cools incredibly well at a good price (7900x build). If I had one gripe with this cooler, it would have to be the mount for the block. It takes some time to get everything aligned and a good amount of pressure to screw it down tight. I also own the 360mm version of this cooler, and they both work great.
