ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 A-RGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler 2x140mm PWM Fan Integrated VRM Fan AMD AM5/AM4 Intel LGA1851/1700
Available in stock (33)
Key Features
- 280mm Dual 140mm A-RGB Radiator — Oversized 280mm radiator paired with two P14 Pro PWM A-RGB fans delivers superior airflow and static pressure for efficient heat dissipation across all workloads.
- Integrated VRM Fan — Built-in 40mm fan on the pump head actively cools motherboard VRM and surrounding components, extending system stability and longevity under sustained load.
- 38mm Thick Radiator — Extra-thick radiator holds significantly more coolant than standard designs, improving thermal capacity during overclocking and prolonged heavy usage.
- Offset Pump Head with Intel Contact Frame — Offset mounting design targets CPU hotspots directly; included Intel contact frame distributes mounting pressure evenly for maximum thermal transfer.
- PWM Pump Control up to 2800 RPM — Pump speed adjusts dynamically with system load, balancing cooling performance and acoustic noise automatically.
- Pre-applied MX-6 Thermal Paste — High-performance MX-6 thermal compound comes pre-applied on the cold plate, ready for immediate installation without any extra steps.
- Integrated Cable Management in Tubing — Cables route neatly inside the tubing sleeve, keeping builds clean and simplifying installation in any case layout.
- 6-Year Manufacturer Warranty — ARCTIC backs this cooler with an industry-leading 6-year warranty, reflecting confidence in long-term build quality and reliability.
The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 A-RGB is an all-in-one CPU liquid cooler engineered for enthusiasts who demand both high thermal performance and clean aesthetics. The 280mm radiator paired with dual 140mm P14 Pro A-RGB fans generates the airflow and static pressure needed to keep modern high-core-count processors running cool under sustained gaming sessions, 3D rendering, video encoding, and overclocking workloads. The 38mm radiator thickness stores more coolant than standard 25mm or 30mm designs, providing a larger thermal buffer that prevents temperature spikes during intense multi-threaded tasks. A-RGB lighting on both fans syncs with major motherboard headers including ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, and Gigabyte RGB Fusion, giving your build a cohesive look without additional controllers.
What separates the Liquid Freezer III Pro from competing 280mm AIO coolers is the integrated 40mm VRM fan embedded directly into the pump head. This fan directs airflow toward the power delivery components on the motherboard, a critical but often overlooked factor in maintaining stable CPU boost clocks over extended periods. The offset pump head design places the coldest point of the cold plate over the primary heat-generating die, while the bundled Intel contact frame corrects the flex in Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851 sockets to ensure consistent contact pressure. Compatible with AMD AM5 and AM4 as well as Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700, this cooler fits the majority of modern desktop platforms with no additional adapter purchases required.
Ideal For
- High-Performance Gaming PCs — Keeps CPUs like Intel Core i9-13900K, i9-14900K, and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X within safe thermal limits during extended gaming sessions at maximum boost clocks.
- Overclocked and Delidded Systems — The thick radiator and integrated VRM cooling provide the headroom needed for aggressive all-core overclocking on both Intel and AMD platforms.
- Content Creation and Workstation Builds — Sustained heavy multithreaded loads from video editing, 3D rendering, and simulation software are handled efficiently without throttling.
- Enthusiast RGB Builds — A-RGB fans and pump head lighting integrate seamlessly with major motherboard lighting ecosystems for a polished, synchronized look.
- Silent High-Performance Setups — PWM control on both fans and pump allows fans to run near-silent at idle while ramping up only when thermal demands require it.
