Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 CPU Cooler – Black – Ready Out-of-the-Box for Exceptional Cooling Performance

Easy Installation and Setup

The Liquid Freezer III comes pre-assembled with radiator fans in a push configuration, making it ready for use right out of the box. The integrated fan cables are neatly hidden within the hose sleeving, so you only need one single cable to connect to your motherboard. With MX-6 thermal compound included, the installation process is quick, clean, and efficient.

Tested and Verified by Intel

The Liquid Freezer III 240 has been officially tested and confirmed by Intel for the i9-13900K/KF, i9-14900K/KF, and i9-13900KS processors in both Enthusiast and Desktop categories. Testing covered performance and compatibility with Intel’s contact frame—ensuring optimal heat transfer and system stability.

Future-Proof Compatibility

The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III supports multiple Intel and AMD sockets, including LGA1700, AM5, and AM4. It’s also fully compatible with Intel’s upcoming LGA1851 (Arrow Lake) socket.
Additionally, compatibility can be extended to LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, and LGA1150 using the ARCTIC LGA1200/115X Mounting Kit.

Outstanding Cooling Performance

In independent benchmarks, the Liquid Freezer III consistently outperforms competing AIO coolers across all price ranges. In noise-normalized tests, it delivers exceptional thermal efficiency while maintaining ultra-quiet operation, making it one of the best CPU water coolers available today.

Contact Frame for Intel LGA1700 & LGA1851

Intel’s Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) applies over 40 kg of force, potentially causing CPU deformation. The ARCTIC contact frame solves this by evenly distributing pressure, reducing mechanical stress, and ensuring consistent thermal performance—especially under heavy loads.

Silent and Powerful VRM Cooling

The integrated 60 mm PWM-controlled VRM fan efficiently cools motherboard voltage regulators. Ideal for high-load or overclocking scenarios, it keeps VRM temperatures low, improves overall stability, and extends the lifespan of your motherboard components—all while operating nearly silently.

Integrated Cable Management

Say goodbye to cable clutter. The Liquid Freezer III’s smart cable integration hides fan cables inside the hose sleeving, leaving only a single, clean connection from the pump head to the motherboard. This simplifies installation and improves airflow inside your case.

Flexible Control Options

You can choose between:

• Separate Regulation: Individually control the pump, VRM fan, and radiator fans for fine-tuned performance.

• All-in-One Control: Manage all cooling components via one PWM connection, simplifying setup and fan curve management.

Optimized AMD Mounting Design

The native AMD offset mounting accounts for Ryzen’s chiplet architecture, positioning the cold plate 5
