Review on πŸ’§ ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 - Versatile All-in-One CPU AIO Water Cooler, Intel & AMD Compatible, Efficient PWM Controlled Pump, Fan Speed: 200-1800 RPM (PWM Controlled) - Black by Erik Barela

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The 360mm AIO is among the cheapest. Worth every penny.

Reviews on YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus have shown that this AIO actually *leads* the 360mm AIO category in terms of temperature on Ryzen. I'm not sure what it indicates for Intel, but I have to assume it's the same since only the mount is different. h150i pro rgb xt, the only thing available when i was building last summer): 1) max load temp dropped 6 degrees c 2) noise level dropped i think 10dB or more. Incredibly quiet (at over 1600rpm!) 3) pump noise is greatly reduced 4) no RGB which I like. Chose another only because of availability.5) 2/3 of the price? I bought it for $124 vs. $180 for the Corsair device. 6) Actually screws into the 4 piece motherboard as opposed to the two fancy AM4 hooks on the Corsair box. 7) Only *one* cable to connect to the motherboard, the Corsair box. there were at least 3. I couldn't be happier. There is nothing this AIO does worse than the Corsair unit. This is the leader of the 360mm AIO and one of the cheapest. Extreme value per dollar. This AIO is also 50% thicker than most AIOs (38mm vs. 25mm), which is sure to help it perform better. I really couldn't be happier and this device gets a rare unqualified 5* rating from me. If you're thinking about getting one, just do it.
