ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB

This all-in-one liquid cooler uses a 280 mm radiator with two 140 mm fans and an integrated VRM fan. It targets builders who want a pre-filled loop that arrives with fans already mounted in push configuration. The white finish and addressable RGB lighting suit clean, light-themed builds.

Suited for Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM4 or AM5 sockets

The package covers current mainstream desktop platforms and includes MX-6 thermal compound for immediate installation. Builders using older sockets or proprietary OEM mounting patterns will need a different mounting kit. The 450 mm tube length may not reach top-mounted radiator positions in very large chassis.

280 mm radiator with integrated VRM fan

The 317 x 138 x 38 mm aluminium radiator pairs with two PWM-controlled 140 mm fans running up to 1900 rpm and a 60 mm VRM fan spinning up to 2500 rpm. This combination directs airflow onto motherboard voltage regulators while cooling the CPU loop. The single 4-pin PWM cable and 3-pin ARGB connector keep cabling simple.

Questions about this item

What case clearance do I need for the 317 mm radiator and 38 mm thickness?

The radiator measures 317 mm long, 138 mm wide and 38 mm thick, so your case must support a 280 mm radiator with at least 38 mm depth for the core plus fan thickness.

Which step do builders often miss when connecting the single combined cable to the motherboard?

The pump, both 140 mm radiator fans and the 60 mm VRM fan share one 4-pin PWM lead; plug it into the CPU_FAN header so the board controls every fan together.

When should the pre-applied MX-6 thermal compound be replaced?

Replace MX-6 if you remount the cooler or after several years when temperatures rise; clean old paste with isopropyl alcohol and apply a fresh pea-sized dot.
