The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 A-RGB is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for desktop builders using compatible Intel or AMD systems. Its 280 mm radiator and two 140 mm P14 Pro fans make it suited to gaming PCs and other builds that need substantial processor cooling.

The cooler combines a thick 38 mm aluminium radiator with a copper cold plate and reinforced, braided EPDM tubing. Its offset mounting shifts the cold plate towards the CPU hotspot, while a PWM-controlled fan on the pump unit helps cool the motherboard voltage regulators. A-RGB lighting adds synchronised illumination, and the integrated fan wiring keeps cables together for a tidier installation.

Key features

• Two P14 Pro fans use fluid dynamic bearings and PWM speed control.
• Fan speed ranges from 400 to 2500 rpm.
• Maximum airflow is 110 cfm, with static pressure up to 5.2 mmH₂O.
• The 38 mm radiator provides greater liquid capacity than a conventional 27 mm radiator.
• Offset mounting is designed to improve heat transfer at the CPU hotspot.
• The integrated VRM fan is PWM controlled to help lower voltage regulator temperatures.
• A splitter cable allows pump, VRM fan and radiator fans to be controlled separately or together.

Compatibility

Supported sockets are Intel 115X, 1200, 1700 and 1851, plus AMD AM4 and AM5. The radiator measures 317 × 138 × 38 mm, so check your case has room for it and the installed fans. Good to know: ARCTIC specifies at least 63 mm of clearance for installation; check the available space in your case before ordering.
