Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 (ARGB) Review - The 240 AIO That BEATS 360s

[@ARCTIChannel]

Thank you for your honest opinion of the Liquid Freezer 240 - We'll work on it to improve even further :) We do really appreciate the results!

[@j000pe]

I love the support you're providing and the great attitude/ethics of the company. Definately slapping a Artic Freeze 280 on my 7000 build because of it!

[@moto3463]

Can I use this aio for my 13900K or not good enough?

[@mechxgames6472]

I have Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 240 rev6(non RGB and before coldplate RMA) and i have a 5600x oc'd to 4.8 in a bad airflow case. Still stays only 75~80c at Mac Cinebench load. Gaming at 40~45. Definitely the best cooler hands down for unbeatable price. Will be better ina airflow case

[@mrdeathamore]

@@mechxgames6472 Is still 4.8 allcore OC or just a PBO?

[@mechxgames6472]

@@mrdeathamore actually unless u have the best of the best cooling and silicon lottery to have a all core 4.8 Mine is at all core 4.65 to occasional all core 4.7 in Cinebench In occt full load i somehow hit all core 4.8 but that is only cuz of the way that benchmark runs

[@yakacm]

I bought the 420 version when I got my 12900K, but the damn thing wouldn't fit in my case so I sent it back and got the 360 ARGB one.

Loved the video, would suggest maybe narrowing down the chart items to the most relevant ones so it is easier to spot and keep track of things

Thank you for a great review...have a great holiday.

I have this cooler. It cools my 13600k extremely well. But I'm really hoping it will be able to handle the 14700k for gaming and emulation, as I want to upgrade.

[@STSYT]

Should do just fine

question , can we install the arctic bionix p120 on the aio radiator instead of the free one?

[@clashwithmoi8926]

so the 280mm is the sweet spot?

[@DiagolonRider]

i just got the 280 and it's amazing! quiet and cools my 5900x like nothing!

[@honkingclown]

Yes! But will need to check case & motherboard clearance because it is a larger radiator.

[@MHAAAAANZ]

Yes but i like 3 fans to make my case fueler

do you install the cable into pump 1 4 pin or cpu1?

[@GamingShenanigans2]

That do you need to fill up with something before before news it ?

[@Onion2610]

best case for top installation?🙈

[@Mintor94]

8:20 Nah. Rad and fans are really nice, but this unnecesarryly thick and stiff braiding feels and looks cheap af. Also there are no 90° fittings coming out of the pump block as with most other AIOs.

[@MattGixxer]

Can the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm tame the 14900k? 360mm AIO won't fit in my case.

[@juniorthomas6404]

Using the 240mm on a 12700k. Around 35 degrees on idle mid 50 on load

Sure, nothing is stopping you

[@guilladogui8259]

any good cases to fit this and a 4070ti tuf?

[@STSYT]

Anything with a lot of space in the top, Cases in general are more of a self-liking thing. Just make sure that it isn’t build like a brick wall

[@guilladogui8259]

@@STSYT but there arent many cases that can fit 280mm radiators specially the artic freezer is thicker than others

will this cool the new intel 13th gen cpus?

[@brunofrancis6188]

Discord links don't work, they expired. I got Ryzen 7 5800x, bought Arctic LF II 280 and it didn't fit althought my case supports 280. Radiator + fans are just huge, and I heard 240 height is no different it literally hits the motherboard heat sink. My case is Zalman Z8. Will something like Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo be enough? Or do I need to look deeper into liquid cooling options. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@STSYT]

I tested the link, it works? Try again, maybe it was some random Discord issue. Why not mount it in the front? The Rad thickness should be such a problem there

[@brunofrancis6188]

@@STSYT Tried but I got a huge 3080ti GPU that is a thick fella. Hahaha I will still go with AF II 280 but will replace the fans with P14 Slim. On full load I think only 1°C difference! 🥶

I want to get the 240 version i have a cheap kolink k10 inspire case at the moment says its compatible with 240 and 360mm rads(top and side) is radiator thickness important or better will it fit my case as i see its almost the thickest in class ~40mm.

[@BigDavos]

I wish this came in white

[@exsinner]

is it normal for the 360 version to not feel any warm or hot air from the radiator when 13900k is pushed to the max at 253W, obviously thermal throttled but i honestly believed this aio is not compatible with asus z790 board, at least with my strix e. The vrm heatsink actually touched the aio mount.

[@yakacm]

You can remove the shroud around the VRM cooler, that's how I got mine to fit my Z690 Hero.

[@exsinner]

@@yakacm I have the rev 3 argb. The shroud is fine, its the metal mounting bracket that touched the top vrm heatsink. When I removed the aio, its always the same top part that still has thick paste on it, its impossible to have it fully contact. I've used thermalright contact frame as well but no dice. I've been thinking of switching to h150i but i hate the fact that i cant have it controlled through my bios. I really dont want to have multiple bloatware on my machine. I also would like to have my 4090 vertical mount for better clearance with its cable, right now its touching the glass panel. Vertical mount is just not possible with LF ii due to the stiff tubing.

[@MaNNeRz91]

Whats funny is the argb one is cheapest
