A refresh of the original Liquid Freezer III (non-pro), the cooler offers significantly better performance at a solid value. It includes three Arctic P120 Pro 120mm fans that can ramp up to 3000 RPM and produce up to 6.9mmH2O. There’s also full support for all modern CPU sockets, including AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA1851/1700. The pump block on the cooler features a VRM fan, and instead of the standard 27mm thickness, the radiator on the Liquid Freezer III Pro comes in at 38mm, meaning more surface area for heat dissipation. This also means that you may need to double-check your PC case specs before buying this cooler.

In our testing, we found that the Liquid Freezer III Pro can tame even the hottest CPUs and can reduce temperatures lower than almost every liquid cooler that we have tested so far. On an Intel i7-14700K with no power limits, the cooler outperformed its nearest competitor by about 13 degrees Celsius, establishing itself as the top-performing AIO. In the noise-normalized test, it managed a relatively modest 38.9 dBA, but it is one of the loudest if the fans are ramped up to full speed.

At its current price, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro is a clear winner if you don’t want any compromises with CPU cooling. Other premium AIO coolers may offer better visual elements like lighting effects or built-in displays like the recently launched Thermaltake Minecube 360 Ultra, but if you care about pure performance, don’t miss out on this deal.
