ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 – Water Cooling PC
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 – Water Cooling PC, All-in-One CPU AIO Water Cooler, Intel & AMD compatible, efficient PWM-controlled pump, fan: 200-1700 rpm, LGA1851 and LGA1700 Contact Frame – Black
- LGA1700 AND LGA1851 CONTACT FRAME: Improved contact pressure distribution through Intel mounting frame for efficient heat transfer, thanks to even CPU contact surface
- NATIVE AMD OFFSET MOUNTING: Optimized for the multi-die chiplet design of Ryzen processors – 5mm offset for optimal coverage of the CPU hotspot, resulting in more efficient heat transfer
- ACTIVE COOLING OF THE VOLTAGE CONVERTERS: PWM-controlled VRM fan that additionally cools components in the base area, such as voltage converters
- INTEGRATED CABLE MANAGEMENT: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated into the jacket of the hoses, which means that only one visible cable is connected to the motherboard
- LIMITED COMPATIBILITY WITH A FEW MOTHERBOARDS:Oversized coolers on the M.2_1 slot can lead to compatibility problems. An overview and solution is available on the manufacturer's website and in the manual.

Product Description
60 mm fan in CPU block
Active cooling in the socket area
Enables a continuously higher load and a longer service life of the voltage converters.
Replaces the standard ILM
Contact Pressure Distribution LGA1851 | LGA1700
Minimal mechanical stress on the CPU and mainboard and improved cooling efficiency.
5 mm offset coldplate
Centring on CPU hotspot
Better temperatures on AMD's multi-die chip design thanks to vertically offset mounting.
23 % larger finstack
More surface area – more power
Consistently lower temperatures due to optimisation of the internal structure of the 38 mm radiator.
Two control modes
Complete control or simple control
Individual control of pump/VRM fan/radiator fan or all via one connection.
Integrated Cable ManagementCables for the radiator fans are integrated into the sleeving, it means that only the plugs on the pump head need to be connected to the mainboard, separate cabling of fans is therefore not necessary.
” data-position=”triggerHorizontal” />Optimised, In-House Developed Water PumpEquipped with a newly developed PWM-controlled pump, optimised in terms of performance and volume, as well as a coldplate with an extended fin surface and improved water ducts.
