Overview
The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB is the strongest 240mm AIO in its price bracket. Two 120mm P-series A-RGB fans reach 2000 RPM and move about 56 CFM at a quiet roughly 23 dB(A), and a clever VRM fan built into the pump actively cools the motherboard's voltage regulators as well. The pump sits inside the cold plate for better memory clearance, and the loop is sealed and maintenance free. It fits AMD AM4/AM5 and Intel LGA1851, 1700, and 1200 boards. At $130-146 street, it delivers cooling that rivals much larger coolers while suiting smaller cases and MATX builds that only take 240mm radiators, making it an easy recommendation for mid-range gaming rigs.
