Arctic has followed up its celebrated Liquid Freezer III CPU cooler with the new Liquid Freezer III Pro. Initially launching with 360mm models, with or without ARGB lighting, this new series promises to deliver even better performance.
What sets the Liquid Freezer III Pro apart from the non-Pro models is the usage of the new P12 Pro FDB fans capable of reaching 3000 RPM (77 CFM with a 6.9 mmH2O pressure). Like the original Liquid Freezer III coolers, it features the same VRM fan on the pump and a contact frame to optimise contact pressure distribution on Intel systems. It also features a similar cable management system, with cables going through the tube sleeving, to reduce clutter.
According to the company's data, the new Pro variants offer a temperature reduction of around 4ºC on a Ryzen 7950X (210W TDP) at full speed and 1.6ºC in a noise-normalised scenario (28dB) compared to the original 360 model. The improvements are even more noticeable on the Intel side, with Arctic claiming improvements of over 10ºC when the cooler runs at full speed and in a noise-normalised scenario.
Some motherboards may be incompatible with the Liquid Freezer III Pro due to oversized SSD coolers in the M.2_1 slot. In these cases, Arctic can provide a compatible M.2 cooler free of charge. The Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 is now available starting at around €94.49 for the standard model, €111.49 for the black A-RGB model, and €113.99 for the white A-RGB model. However, these prices will increase when the launch campaign ends.
KitGuru says: It will be interesting to put one of these to the test.
