Review on Water Cooling System for Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420, Black/ARGB by Wiktor Czerwiski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I had to work hard and break a sweat in order to get the cooling system inside the Fractal Design DEFINE 7 Black. The fans had to be moved since they were too close to the RAM and the shroud that contained the motherboard connectors, and I had to take out a number of components from the case. This cooling system will only fit without any issues in a select few cases, all of which are quite costly and very huge (one such case is the Fractal Design MESHIFY 2 XL Black). Because there were complaints about it on the internet, the small fan was instantly switched off. Since it is simply turned off, there are no complaints about it.

Pros
  • Cools well, huge heatsink, silent fans. However, there is no wow impact that air cooling has gotten significantly better; I didn't see any dramatic differences in comparison to the Noctua NH-D15, and CPUs that are running at high temperatures will continue to run at high temperatures even if you want the system to be quiet.
Cons
  • There is a 99.9% chance that you will not be able to install this system in your situation; thus, I suggest that you consider using a smaller dropsie. Otherwise, you will need to alter the body as well.
