ARCTIC Inc via Amazon has ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB AIO CPU Cooler (Black) for $91.49. Shipping is free.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

About this Item:
  • Contact Frame for Intel LGA1851 | LGA1700: Optimized contact pressure distribution for a longer CPU lifespan and better heat dissipation
  • More performance at every speed – especially more powerful and quieter than the P12 at low speeds. Higher maximum speed for optimal cooling performance under high loads
  • Native Offset Mounting For Intel and AMD: Shifting the cold plate center toward the CPU hotspot ensures more efficient heat transfer
  • Integrated VRM Fan: PWM-controlled fan that lowers the temperature of the voltage regulators, ensuring reliable performance
  • Integrated Cable Management: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated into the sleeve of the tubes, so only a single visible cable connects to the motherboard

Solid price. But still too expensive compared to ask thermalright offerings

These are the best (or at least the non-rgb variants are) dollar to performance AIOs.

Very little difference between the pro and non pros (like 3 degrees C if I remember right) so go for whichever is cheaper.

They do require more pressure than you would expect to install but you can find ways to make it easier by googling/looking on YT.

What do you mean pressure? I just started a PC build from the things I found on here. I need a cooler and a GPU as my last items. Im aware I should have started with the GPU but you live and you learn

What processor are you using? In most cases, a water cooler isn't necessary—you'll be fine with a good air cooler. This one is highly regarded and costs only $35 on Amazon: Thermalright Phantom Spirit https://www.amazon.com/Thermalrig...B0CY5ZSQN8. Alternatively, you can go with the original model: Thermalright Peerless Assassin: https://www.amazon.com/Thermalrig...0C5MBLHD2]

I agree with the other replies that in many cases AIOs (especially 360mm ones) are over kill so it depends on your CPU and uses. I play a lot of cpu intense games so I wanted to keep my cpu as cool as possible for as long as possible. And it was overkill for me and my 9800x3D.

To answer your question, the pump goes over the cpu and with this model you have to push down onto the cpu with way more weight/force/pressure than other coolers will ask of you.

Definitely check the compatibility list before buying. For some mobos, the pump housing is too big and it might block the top M.2 heatsink. If that's the case, Arctic can send you a smaller heatsink for your M.2. https://support.arctic.de/lf3-pro-compatibility

Used to love AIO closed loop coolers but honestly, the Peerless Assassin just dumpsters them on price versus performance, and it's even more quiet.

They have a list of motherboards it does work on on the Arctic website. Which X870 mobo?

I have the 420mm one on my Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite

If you want all of those lights and cool look, this deal is for you!

But...I have a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO on a 5950X. At $50 it's basically $15 more than the 120 SE etc.

The extra $15 was for the K12 fans that came with it. I figured I'd probably replace them and I did. They cool just fine and are quiet. But I put a single 28mm thick fan on it between the towers.

Thermalright TL-H12-X28-S PWM Fan-2150RPM,Computer Cooling Low-Noise, 28mm Thickness Cooling,PWM Controlled Cooler Fan,Single PC Fan for CPU Coolers and Chassis(Black,ARGB)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DS65JH8Q

There's a plain model with no ARGB if that's what you want. But for $1 more I got the ARGB model because it may end up in another position where lighting is wanted. If you look there's a 5mm gap between a 25mm thick fan and the other tower. Some guys forced a Phanteks T30 30mm thick fan between the towers. Some said they had to use a little force while others said it fit fine.

The T30 is $40 so it was a no brainer to use the $11 28mm fan. It's 81 CFM while the original K12 fans are 73 CFM. None of my benchmarks dropped and everything is running great. Looks great too.

I'd really like to try an AIO but there's just too many stories about not really gaining anything and leaks. I read the reviews on this one and the 420 . One of them arrived leaking.

The Thermalright air coolers are good enough for about anything. Your ARGB RAM isn't blocked at all when using a single 28mm fan.

I haven't tried one of my Arctic P12 Max fans in it. One, it's going to be louder and I think cooling will suffer. With that 5mm gap it'll be able to pull air though the gap, or the forced air side will blast air out though the gap. It depends on which tower you mount the 28mm fan to. Mine is clipped to the back tower and is so close to the front tower that most of the air that it pulls is through the front tower.
