About this deal

The Liquid Freezer II's fiber-reinforced 45 cm tubing allows for installation even in large cases and effectively prevents coolant evaporation, so you don't have to worry about refilling your compact water cooling system. This test doesn’t portray the Cooler Master in the best light, but it’s a competent performer that can handle nearly any cooling task. A few 280mm coolers exceeded it, but the sheer cooling performance statistics don’t do this AIO cooler credit on their own. It outperformed the Kraken X62 and its Corsair counterpart, the H115 RGB Pro XT, in our test. The Elite Capellix dominated the competition and produced the best cooling figures in every test iteration, despite the fact that all of these coolers were within 5°C of one another. Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/ OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good. as i wasnt happy with it but this meant i had to also replace my Thermaltake Core V21 Case as it was mATX

Liquid cooling is rapidly gaining popularity as a PC cooling technique. It’s more efficient than air cooling, allowing PC designers to go larger in search of greater power. Generally it shouldn't be a problem even if they are a bit kinked or twisted. Steve said Arctic Cooling is using rubber tubes on these AiO's which are generally not affected by mechanical deformation. Sure it feels weird having it twisted in a certain way, but shouldn't damage the tubing itself. Especially if it's not really extreme. While the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror isn’t the most durable cooler on the market, its infinity mirror pump head and RGB implementation make it one of the most attractive.The NZXT Kraken Z63 has a similar unique pump head to the Kraken X-series, but it takes it to the next level. Corsair Dominator Titanium First Edition DDR5-6600 C32 2x32GB Review: Abundant Capacity And Performance and the 280 version performs really well while staying quiet,the only question i am asking is: is there a big difference between the 280 and 360mm version of the Freezer II Plus, our sophisticated cable management hides the PWM cables of your radiator fans in the sleeving. Thermaltake Floe Dual Riing RGB 280 TT Premium Edition 7. Thermaltake Floe Dual Riing RGB 280 TT Premium Edition

Plus, our sophisticated cable management hides both the RGB and PWM cables of your radiator fans in the sleeving. The customizing software, on the other hand, is not particularly user-friendly. Changing cooling profiles requires a complete system restart, thus switching profiles on the fly is out of the question. The app also only controls the lights, not the fan or pump speed, so its use is limited. In terms of performance, the X63 will perform similarly to the H115i. Its Aer P fans can hit speeds of up to 1800 RPM and they operate in a decibale range of between 21-38 dBA. At their loudest, they aren’t much louder than the ML140 PWM fans on the Corsair iCUE H115i. However, as there is no Zero RPM mode on the Aer P fans, the Kraken X63 won’t be able to run as quietly as systems with the H115i in lower CPU load scenarios. Arctic has built, thus far, a good product. We need to see how it does long-term, as Enermax has scared us away from firm recommendations on thermals alone. We would recommend the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 as a go-to solution over competing liquid coolers, based on thermal and acoustic performance, although we’d also note that most proven (e.g. Asetek, CoolIT) coolers will perform similarly. If you want RGB LEDs, you’re mostly just paying more for them, but should be in the ballpark for performance. Corsair’s iCue software is also included with the H115i Elite Capellix, giving you complete control over the cooler. You’ll be able to adjust the fan and pump speeds, as well as monitor interior temperatures, using iCue. The software is a fantastic addition that significantly raises the cooler’s value.i hope someone here had his hands on both of them and can give me a solid answer, and yes my case supports 360 on both the front and the top i am not worried about that part. The nature of a review cycle (while a product is relevant) typically dictates that there’s no means to realistically test for endurance or age. We can revisit in the future if needed, but that’s the only question mark left after the review process: Arctic’s pump design is new, something we’ll look at in our tear-down video coming up shortly, and a new design means we have no reference point for endurance and reliability. In general, liquid coolers outlive the usable life of the system, and potentially two systems, but those that fail do so in a much more visible or catastrophic fashion. Failures are overall rare, however, and that’s always important to note. We’ll send you to our Air vs. Liquid cooler content for more of an explanation on this front. Thermal imaging from our FLIR ONE Pro camera shows moderate heat soak around the radiator sides and within coolant tubing at 50% fan speed, while 100% fan speed shows good regulation and exchange of thermal load. Given that the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 runs so quietly, operating the unit with a good PWM curve should allow for aggressive fan speed without excess system noise. Er ... this thing costs less than half the price of a h100 pro ... and cools within 0.1 degree (by the data that you yourself linked) ... not to mention PWMs @ over 50% cooler with this AIO.

The Corsair iCUE H115i comes with Corsair’s ML140 PWM fans, which can hit max speeds up to 2000 RPM or can be dialed all the way down to Zero RPM when temperatures are lower, thus eliminating a lot of noise. Speaking of noise, the ML140 fans operate within a noise level range of 10-36 dBA, which helps make the iCUE H115i the quietest AIO cooler on this list. It’s obvious that the NZXT Kraken Z63 is a stunning cooler with outstanding performance. The LED pump head is considerably more costly than comparable alternatives, but the added value it provides is well worth the additional cost. In other testing, the Liquid Freezer II outperformed competitors such as the DeepCool Castle 280EX, another 280mm cooler renowned for its high performance. There definitely aren’t any better 280mm AIO coolers out there when it comes to cooling and noise dampening. I'm waiting for my GPU to arrive, should be here on Monday, hence there's nothing in the system atm. The Elite Capellix has an amazing quantity of RGB, giving it a bright and contemporary appearance. On the pump and fans, there are 33 LEDs. While this design may not be for everyone, it is undeniably stunning when housed inside a tower.PS: i've heard that the 120 and 140mm Arctic fans don't sound the same, i don't have any at my disposal at the moment to test that theory, they are different sizes so they shouldn't be the same noise levels, even at the same RPM. Radiator: 318 x 140 x 27mm / 10.9 x 4.7 x 1.1” | Fans: 140 x 140 x 25mm / 5.5 x 5.5 x 1” | Fan Speed: 650 – 1400 RPM (PWM) | Noise Volume: 10 – 27 dBA | Warranty: 2 years

It has amazing cooling capabilities. The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 is the top performing cooler in its class, according to a test on an Intel I7 running at 4.2 GHz. It will keep your CPU very cold. Corsair has long been an industry leader in AIO coolers, with stunning designs and high performance. The Corsair iCUE H115i Elite Capellix is a strong addition in the Corsair brand that adds stunning RGB technology to their highly-decorated Platinum series. In our last post, we took a look at the best 360mm AIO coolers on the market and, in this guide, we’re going to cover the top 280mm AIO options. Despite coming with one less fan, the larger 140mm fans on 280mm AIOs are able to provide nearly similar cooling performance as 360mm AIOs. On the plus side, The Freezer II is built with high-quality and durable components, ensuring that this cooler will endure a long time. To avoid kinking and leaking, the copper cooling plate is machined smooth, and the hoses are strengthened and coated. The pump head is extremely sturdy, and it even has a tiny cooling fan, which testifies to the performance goals of this AIO cooler.Unlike many other AIO coolers, the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 foregoes RGB LEDs in favor of raw cooling performance and noise reduction. The Liquid Freezer II is the best-performing AIO cooler and ranks first in its class because to ARCTIC’s commitment in performance. The X63 has the same beautiful infinity mirror design on its pump head as the rest of Kraken’s X-series. This cooler is no exception. These are some of the finest and most unique-looking coolers on the market today.
