#Arctic #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - Is it me, or did it just get extremely chilly in here? The Liquid Freezer ii has been highly regarded by the community for quite some time for its excellent performance, quiet operation and unique style. It’s time for an upgrade… Enter the Liquid Freezer V3.

Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

It goes without saying that Arctic have been producing some of the finest PC cooling hardware for quite a long time now. The understated design of the previous generation has been banished in favour of a more turbine aesthetic which brings a fresh flavour to the Freezers style and I love that.

It's not all just about aesthetics, the circular pump head houses that large 60mm VRM cooler which is effective and performant with very quiet operation. Through all of my testing so far, I could barely hear the pump in action even at 100% speed.

Installation was a breeze, even in a smaller chassis such as the ASUS Prime AP201 thanks to the simplified cable management and lack of additional cables. The AIO tubes are probably a little too long for my liking, especially for a 240mm setup, which caused the tubes to press up against the glass but this wasn't a big issue, merely an observation.

Arctic continue to develop new and exciting products into 2024. Whilst the Liquid Freezer III isn't absolutely perfect and could benefit from a few tweaks later on, it certainly ticks all of the right boxes for excellent cooling and silent operation. If we're talking about raw performance, what more do you need?
