That said, if you front-mount the radiator, having the VRM fan on the block could be somewhat beneficial in scenarios where an overly hot configuration is used. It’s keeping the temps of my 13700k below 34c on idle and low 90s on maximum load without even undervolting my cpu.

If you have a Lian Li 2 mesh case, I can confirm this has no issues with clearance with the thicker radiator with a front mount, also because the T30 fans im using are thicker than usual as well (30mm over the standard 25mm) it still has no issues with clearance.

Not a big deal since laying the board flat on the table bypasses it, but this could be even easier if Arctic refined the solution with cap screws. My brother has the older non-RGB Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 on his 5950X, and it makes overnight rendering possible. Tänk även på att kylaren är väldigt tjock gämfört med standard 52mm denna är totalt 63mm tjock med fläktar.North of the socket, aligned with the top-center of the cooler and center of the fan opening, the FPM measured between 190 and 212. I still feel that Arctic missed an opportunity by not making the VRM fan LED lit also, but the clean cable management thanks to just two trailing wires is absolutely superb. It’s outdoing the X72 and CLC 360, which both struggle at these lower noise levels because they have too many fans at too small of a size, and so they lose pressure.

In the end it does work but I can hear a lot liquid tricking when it's running and my 13900K gets to 100c very quickly.Gamers nexus does an in-depth video in the correct mounting of radiators and should be watched before installing your own. In addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. This square profile slab of copper looks to be appropriately sized to offer solid coverage for current Intel and AMD mainstream processors, as well as LGA 2066 that this cooler supports.

Small fans have the reputation of being particularly loud and not very durable; that’s why we set out to develop a quiet, sturdy diagonal fan, especially for the Liquid Freezer II. Arctic’s Liquid Freezer II 280 kicks everyone’s ass when it comes to closed-loop liquid cooler thermals on these charts. For the Arctic Freezer at 35dBA, we see a 51-degree load temperature, putting the cooler just below the Kraken X62 while remaining significantly cheaper. This doesn’t move the needle much for Arctic, which seems to top-out in its efficiency at around 1200RPM rather than its maximum 1600RPM.I’ll be testing Intel’s i9-13900K CPU using Asus’ TUF Gaming Z690 Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard and Cooler Master’s HAF 700 Berserker computer case, with case fans limited to 35% speeds.
