With the Liquid Freezer II 360 all-in-one CPU watercooling kit, Arctic brings its expertise to gaming with a compact PWM controlled cooling pump. The pump does not run at full load all the time, but adjusts its operation to the temperature of the processor to limit its noise level at rest. The system is complemented by three 120mm high static pressure fans and another 40mm fan near the pump that cools the motherboard's VRM circuits.
Take advantage of Arctic expertise
Thanks to its ingenious design, the pump in this watercooling system does not run at 100% all the time. Instead, the PWM system it is equipped with adjusts its speed according to the current load. In this way, it is extremely quiet when not in use and consumes less energy!
The Liquid Freezer II also features three Arctic P-series fans with hydrodynamic 120mm bearings and blades designed for greater efficiency. Enjoy lower vibration levels, and extreme durability for your new watercooling system. In addition to the standard high static pressure fan, a smaller 40 mm fan is located next to the pump to cool the VRM circuits on the motherboard to prevent overheating during long periods of use. The water circuit is completely sealed, so there is no need to add additives.
Main features :
All-in-one watercooling system for processors
Processor compatibility: Intel LGA 115X/2011-3/2066 and AMD AM4
Fans: 3 x 120 mm PWM with hydrodynamic bearing / 200-1800 rpm + 1 x 40 mm fan for cooling the motherboard VRM circuits
I chose it on the recommendation of my workstation setup, and it cools an Intel i7-14700K very efficiently (85°C in stress test under OCCT @5.6 GHz). As an added bonus, it's pretty quiet, for a reasonable price! Installation is pretty straightforward, but be warned: no paper instructions (only on their site via QR Code) and only in English (the Google translation into French is dodgy).

Good but imposing
For the moment, this watercooling seems excellent, cooling an AMD 7600X. However, the radiator and pipes are really imposing, so be careful with the size of your case.

Does what it's told
This AIO does the job mail it is heard under load, under cyberpunk I go up to 78-79 degrees in configuration cpu fan silence in my motherboard. I came from a corei7 4790 dissipated by a Noctua, the config was relatively silent and didn't heat up much.
With a 7600x processor with 125w tdp and a reputation for overheating, this changes the situation.

So close to perfection!
I have to say first of all that when I choose a cooling system, the noise level is the parameter I look at with as much interest as the cooling performance.
So after a lot of research I found this Arctic Liquid Freezer II which seems to meet all my expectations both on performance and noise. The tests are unanimous and for a very competitive price!
I chose the 360mm since it's an I7 10700k to be cooled.
The installation is very simple, but be careful to have a case that can accommodate it (on a Fractal define it passes without problem). The tutorial is well done even if we would have liked a paper version (but I'm quibbling).
From a performance point of view, it's all good after testing via 3D Mark and Cinebench, the arctic does very well.
But from a noise point of view... So : The pump and the fans are very quiet, no problem, I was even very surprised!
But the worry on my side comes from the small fan intended to cool the VRM. However, the tests described it as inaudible but it was not the case for me.
Maybe I am too sensitive to high pitched noises but I was constantly bothered by the acceleration and deceleration of the fan producing the slight high pitched noises. Be careful, it is still contained but for me it is unbearable.
Too bad then, I send it back and come back with my good old Noctua u12a
I chose this watercooling because the manual of my bequiet case said that the 420 mm is accepted. However, it is not mountable in the top position of the case, because it is very thick (good point because thermal inertia and bad point because bulky)
The small pump fan allows ventilation of the motherboard's power supply stages. This is functional.
Tested with an I-9 11900k at high load, reached 96°C max in a dive. (on an SDK unreal engine 4.21) (mounted in front position)
As for the noise, at 100% it is the noise of your childhood fridges. Nothing too traumatic but still noisy.

An exceptional cooler
It's all in the title, this cooler does its job, and it's surprisingly quiet.
It keeps my I9-10990X at relatively low temperatures.

advantages but also some shortcomings
Watercooling quite efficient. Placed externally at the back of the case, my Ryzen 5 3600 goes up to 77° maximum with all cores running at full speed for 45 minutes (compiling and encoding large 4K video files). Radiator with very good dissipation. There could be more performance but this is a small heatsink model so it's not bad.
I like the closed circuit assembly without the need to add liquid. But on the other hand, the blocks are not removable.
The socket fan is a good idea.
It comes with just the right amount of thermal paste.
The pipes are very rigid. So anticipate if mounted inside the case.
Radiator fan: when mounted externally, it is not quiet, even at idle regulated by the motherboard. This is really THE big flaw.
It is not at all bright: probably an error in the LDLC description.
Conclusion: good value for money.

Effective, but small lack of data
Installed on a slightly OC 5900X, the operating temperature is quite reasonable, without making too much noise.
My old system (NZXT) allowed more configuration and access to more information about the operation of the thing. But it was much more expensive and required a lot of software.
If you are looking for a simple, efficient and not too expensive AIO watercooling system, this one is very good. If you want a more expensive system with flashing gizmos and more confusing, this is not the one for you.
