All-in-one liquid cooler Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB 14 cm 117.06 m³/h White
The Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB is an all-in-one liquid cooler designed to deliver effective CPU cooling with minimal maintenance. The unit combines a dual-fan 280 mm radiator, 140 mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fans and an integrated pump to provide consistent thermal performance for a wide range of modern CPU sockets. The white colour scheme and A-RGB lighting provide a clean, contemporary look for desktop builds.
Liquid cooling with the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB offers high cooling capacity while remaining simpler to install and maintenance-free compared with custom water-cooling loops. The included 140 mm fans are optimized for airflow (117.06 m³/h) and use Fluid Dynamic Bearing technology for reduced noise and longer life. Broad socket compatibility ensures support for LGA 1700, Socket AM4 and Socket AM5 processors.
Install the radiator in a compatible case location that supports a 280 mm radiator, secure the two 140 mm fans in the recommended orientation for airflow, and mount the cooler’s pump block to the CPU according to the included mounting brackets and the motherboard’s socket. Connect the pump and fan power cables to the appropriate motherboard fan and pump headers and configure fan curves or A-RGB lighting in the motherboard or ARCTIC software as needed.
Ensure your case supports a 280 mm radiator and has adequate airflow. Use compatible mounting hardware for LGA 1700, Socket AM4 or Socket AM5. Verify BIOS or motherboard fan/pump headers for correct PWM control and monitor temperatures after initial installation to confirm expected cooling performance.
Future-Proof CompatibilityThe Liquid Freezer III is multi-compatible with Intel and AMD sockets. Intel will release the new Arrow Lake processors on the LGA1851 socket in the future. ARCTIC customers don't need to worry that the new CPUs will also require new coolers. We guarantee full compatibility. All Liquid Freezer III can be used with the new LGA1851 socket from Intel without limitation.
Silent and Powerful VRM FanThe voltage converters of motherboards often work at their maximum temperature in combination with power-hungry CPUs. To compensate the lack of airflow from a tower cooler, the Liquid Freezer III works with a revised VRM fan. The 60 mm PWM-controlled fan enables almost silent cooling of the socket area when VRM cooling is insufficient, in cases with poor airflow or especially in overclocking scenarios. This enables a continuously higher load and a longer service life for the voltage converters.
Contact Frame for Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851Intel's Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) deforms the CPU by pressing it into the socket at two points with over 40 kg. This causes pressure in the PCB, the die and the solder layer between the die and IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader). With high thermal load, this can lead to long-term problems. The patent-pending mounting frame from ARCTIC does not deform the CPU, reduces the mechanical load on the CPU massively, is quick and easy to install and allows the cooler to be screwed onto the CPU's backplate. As a result, mechanical stress on the mainboard and CPU is minimised, cooling performance remains consistent and installation is quick and uncomplicated.
Optimised, In-House Developed Water PumpThe Liquid Freezer III is equipped with a specially developed PWM-controlled water pump, which has been further optimised in terms of both performance and noise. Thanks to the improved coldplate with an extended fin surface and optimised water pipes, the Liquid Freezer III increases its performance while maintaining quiet operation.
Complete Control or Simple ControlTwo connection cables - two control options:
Native AMD Offset MountingFor several generations, AMD has been using a multi-die chiplet design for its Ryzen desktop processors. Unlike Intel CPUs, the hotspot on these processors is not located centrally under the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader), but is slightly offset. The AMD mounting solution therefore has a 5 mm offset in order to achieve optimum heat dissipation.
Improved Radiator DesignThe cooling surface of the 38 mm thick radiator has been extended by 23 % by increasing the fin stack. This not only enables improved heat dissipation, but also a larger liquid volume. Consequently, the heat build-up in the water cooling system is slowed down and power and temperature peaks can be effectively managed over a longer period of time.
High Static PressureARCTIC relies on the well-proven P fans, which have already received several awards for their outstanding performance. The P series is particularly suitable for use on heat sinks and radiators with a high fin density. Thanks to their high static pressure, they achieve significantly better results compared to fans designed for high air circulation.
Limited Compatibility with Few MotherboardsSome motherboards are incompatible with the Liquid Freezer III due to oversized SSD coolers in the M.2_1 slot. We provide a suitable M.2 cooler free of charge for affected motherboards.
Addressable LEDs for all RequirementsARCTIC uses standardised 3-pin cables instead of proprietary connectors. This not only ensures compatibility with most lighting systems for motherboards, cases, controllers and accessories, but also enables software-based control with the most common control programmes. The daisy-chain function also ensures that each LED can display an individual colour at any time, offering countless combination options for every preference.
Wide Range of VariantsThe Liquid Freezer III offers outstanding cooling performance in four different sizes and three variants. While the Black version is completely black, the A-RGB versions are available in black or white and have digitally addressable lighting for the pump head and radiator fans. With radiator sizes of 240, 360, 280 and 420, the Liquid Freezer III offers the ideal combination of performance, technology and design for everyone!
