Review on 🌬️ ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 - High-performance All-in-One CPU AIO Water Cooler, Intel & AMD Compatible, PWM Controlled Pump, Fan Speed: 200-1700 RPM - Black by Gerald Hill

Installed today and after some testing I have to say this is a fantastic AIO cooler. I switched from CoolerMaster 360mm. It was loud under load. However, it is quiet. I mean REALLY calm. You can't hear it at idle. No pump noise. There are no fans. Nothing. And the small VRM fan is also silent. You can barely hear it while playing since you're sitting 2 feet away from me. This is absolutely the quietest AIO I've ever used. In terms of cooling, I fell by 6-8 degrees while gaming. CoolerMaster 360 ran at 62-66 degrees. I never went over 60 with the Arctic. It's on 2700x, with all OC cores up to 4.25GHz Pros: Quiet Great cooling performance Fantastic cable management Looks great Cons (not really cons, just could be a little better): Hoses are long. They're probably 5-6 inches longer than most AIOs. The AM4 mounting solution is a bit awkward. Screw in the posts and thumbscrews would be better. I would definitely buy these again and would recommend them if you are looking for an AIO cooler. UPDATE: Just out of curiosity, I decided to play around with the fan speed and see how loud it gets. So I increased the pump/fan speed from 90% to 60 degrees and the 3 Arctic P12 PWM fans from 80% to 60 degrees. Well, when I'm sitting less than 3 feet from my computer and have it on my desk, it's STILL quieter than my old CoolerMaster 360mm AIO when I had it at 50%. And during games my temperature averages around 52-55. degrees, on Ryzen 2700x, OCd up to 4.25 GHz. This AIO is an absolute beast. Quiet, fantastic cooling and the pump is PWM controlled. Seriously, if this isn't on your list, you're doing it wrong. .
