Arctic Freezer III now available.....

[GingaMilla]

i have no major complaints from my 360 , tweaked the settings to make my cpu run intel specs not crazy unlimited mode my mobo sat on it and i am happy its cool enough and quiet and for 70 odd quid i cant moan

Is this with intels recommended wattage settings and also what temps are you getting at full load? Looking to get the 14900k too, but unsure on the cooler.

yes my mobo has a 253w option , then ive done a voltage offset my temps max out at around 80c on cinebench , gaming etc its around 40-60 depending on the game

Picked a 360MM none RGB up over the weekend, get it fitted tomorrow. Compared to the ii in person the iii looks miles better.

Will be swapping the stock fans out though to Noctua.

Finally got it fitted this morning, few touch and go moments where I didn't think it was going to fit due to the my m.2 heatsink (Arctic website says it fits), it's touching the heatsink however all in and running ok so far.

Just ordered the white 420 to go in my cte 700 case likely fitting it to the front exhausting out, can't wait to get building just need mobo and CPU now.

was the last part of my build I was waiting to come back into stock, so the new rig will get shipped this week. Cleaning up my old rig noticed that my cpu cooler is an Artic freezer 13, apparently I'm already a fan (badum tish)

Well it looks like this is going to be my first ever AIO, i'm going to buy it along with a new case, anything I should take into consideration? I don't own any kind of FAN / RGB but I'll be purchasing the none RGB version of this AIO.

 

[Vimes]

Make sure that the case you are buying will fit the AIO you wish to buy. The radiator and fans add to its size. You can check the spec of the selected AIO at Arctic website.
Perhaps ring the shop to ask if they could tell you if that AIO would fit, and where it would fit. And do a search online to check for that case against the AIO you wish to buy.

 

[Glanza]

As above make sure the top mount is either off set enough or you have enough room for the cooler as in some of the more common cases you'll have issues with hitting your VRM heatsink.

 

[Vimes]

Good point about the VRM's, also, because I have such a huge case, I don't think about the two (sometimes) additional power plugs that you need to attach to the motherboard. I have read that some struggle with those. Struggle in the way of needing to attach them first but then find the radiator / fan combo is pressed up tight against them. I have even seen it noted that some needed to look for cables with 90 degree fittings.......we know how that goes, albeit for Nvidia with a ton more power used.

I've just gone with the Lian Li Lancool III RGB to top mount the AF 360 for when I do a build later in the year once the new chips are out.

Jealous, that pull out access compartment to access the bays looks very handy. Enjoy.

It certainly looks an interesting case with lots of bits and bobs to play around with, good airflow too which was the main deal breaker.

Did anyone upgrade to this from a Freezer 2 that was using the LGA backplate upgrade. Seems to cause issues as it just wants you to use the standard intel backplate but the one that came with the upgrade kit only 2 of the holes line up.
