The Liquid Freezer III is ready for immediate use thanks to the pre-installed radiator fans in a push configuration. The fan cables are integrated into the tubing casing, so only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard. With the included MX-6 thermal compound, you have everything you need for a quick and easy installation.

At least 10 degrees lower is the cooling of the 5800x3d compared to the Scythe Ninja 5 with 2 Noctua A12X25, easy installation, excellent MX6 paste, and offset mount which is a must, included. It was used as a front mount in a Phanteks P400A case.. there is room for a push-pull configuration as well.... It is silent... I hear the Noctua fans I have scattered in the case more when they spin close to 2000 RPM than the P12 (in any case, I don't have any particular noise, just a sound like a breeze at worst). I don't know how it performs on INTEL, but for AMD at its price, it is a must! I will see this summer if it's worth changing the fans to Noctua that I have lying around... but I don't see it struggling at all... for reference, I previously had idle temps from 35 and above... in games from 55 to 70 degrees and in Cinebench and similar programs I saw 82-85 degrees depending on the season. With the ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER, on the same day I measured 29 degrees idle.... 40 to 55 degrees max in gaming (usually below 50 degrees) and in Cinebench/Prime 95/OCCT it showed from 68 to 73 degrees depending on the workload. Besides this specific cooler, the case includes 3 Noctua A12-25 for exhausts at the top and back while the graphics card is a little beast RX 6750XT Red Devil which instead of struggling from the front mount raising temperatures, it doesn't seem to be affected at all... maybe it even breathes better now because it doesn't have the bulky Ninja 5 restricting it... so the fans pull the hot air out more efficiently
As for the AIO, the cables feel very cheap; you feel like they will just break if you pull them a little. The price was economical, considering that the Freezer III will replace the Corsair H100 after 4 years with less money and more fans (less noise) :3
The packaging was damaged. The purchase was made through Gaming Parts, which is here on Skroutz. Unfortunately, in a previous order of mine, the delay in delivery from the courier & that Skroutz has remained in the 2000s when they used pigeons to communicate with their sellers. Now a package just arrived somewhat like this (see images), and they encouraged me to try their subscription service. (Of course, it wasn't the only product whose packaging was damaged even from a different seller.)
First, I want to say that I installed it in a Cooler Master TD500 Mesh (v.1 version) at the top of the case and it fit just barely by 1 millimeter. My motherboard is the Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming and the RAM is Trident Z Neo. Possibly with "taller" RAM and a different motherboard, the cooling system may not fit (needs some research). Now, in terms of temperatures, we have the following: before with Dark Rock Pro 4 at 27C room temperature, I had idle ~53C, full load ~75C, and now with the ALF 3 I have idle ~36, full load ~70 (it can go even lower at full load depending on the fan curve). In terms of noise, I would say it is quiet overall. The pump runs at 100% and is completely silent, but the fans at 100% will be heard, though not to the point of being annoying. With headphones on or if playing through speakers, you won't hear them at all. I highly recommend it!
I will start with the positives, which are the acquisition price and finally they changed the tubes to black color. The negatives are the change of installation to the AM5 platform, which is quite difficult even though it seems simple to install. Also, the round magnetic decorative piece with the company's logo is quite bulky; it wouldn't hurt if they made it a little smaller. As for performance, there is no difference compared to the previous Arctic Liquid Freezer, since I have both, I say this with great confidence.
At 82€ it was perfect. Installed on Ryzen 5800x3d. If it fits in your case because Arctic Liquid has a thicker radiator personally I believe that at the prices that all other companies are playing, none is worth it.
My experience with the new Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360, which replaced the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 and took on the task of cooling the Intel Core i7-13700KF processor with a slight overclocking to 5.5 GHz, unfortunately disappointed me. I expected much more from this new Freezer III series, which I unfortunately did not see in terms of temperature reduction.
