If you use the included fans then as long as the fan pwm signal has a minimum of 40%, the pump will always run at 100% which is what they intend. The fan is PWM-controlled and can cool your voltage converters and the socket area almost inaudibly by up to 15 °C especially in overclocking scenarios, with insufficient VRM cooling or in cases with low airflow, and thus allows continuous high load.
The Liquid Freezer isn’t yet tried for reliability, and that’s a huge component of coolers that we can’t accelerate for a review. This severely limits the supported orientations of the 360mm radiator as the tubing often will not flex in the direction you want it to.Only issue i had with installation was the pump mounting bracket was hitting the thermal heatshield covering my NVME drive below it so it had to be removed to get the bracket in place, it does not seem to have affected the performance of my NVME in any way. This means there’s always airflow over the VRM heatsink in all the CLC tests, whereas testing it on the table, away from the VRM, would paint a picture of Arctic’s VRM fan having a higher relative impact since you’d be taking away all cooling otherwise. For the Liquid Freezer II Series, they have used there experience in CPU water cooling to develop a completely new compact water cooling pump. if they need to be on full speed to keep your CPU at a reasonable temperature, something is probably wrong.
The new pump of the Liquid Freezer II Series ensures an ideal ratio of high CPU cooling performance to low noise levels. We need to see how it does long-term, as Enermax has scared us away from firm recommendations on thermals alone. The Liquid Freezer II Series features an all-new, in-house developed PWM-controlled pump with a copper base, improved efficiency, low power usage and quiet operation.I’ll be testing Intel’s i9-13900K CPU using Asus’ TUF Gaming Z690 Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard and Cooler Master’s HAF 700 Berserker computer case, with case fans limited to 35% speeds. VRM Fan: 40 mm, 1000–3000 rpm (PWM controlled); Pump: 800–2000 rpm (PWM controlled); Power Consumption: 0,5 W – 2,7 W (Pump + VRM Fan); Cold Plate: Copper, Micro-Skived-Fins; Thermal Paste: MX-4 (0. It’s not a gimmick because it actually works: The top result is with the VRM fan on, measuring at 34. And again, please also remember that case configuration is the single most impacting to VRM thermal performance outside of the VRM design and cooling solution.
For reference, this overlay will show the baseline numbers with radiator fan measurements in the top-center spot.We wanted to look at it with our new testing methodology that we’ve spent six months revising to see how the Liquid Freezer performs against incumbents, including the NZXT Kraken X62 (similar to the X63 we reviewed), the Noctua NH-D15, and a growing list of others. Working alone, we found the easiest way to install it was to tape the backplate in place temporarily, then use the requisite two hands to position the cooler and install the screws. The pump's main problem is a high pitched buzz around 1550+ Hz, plus the pumps housing resonating/vibrating with anything it touches. The CPU AiO water cooler has integrated cable management within fully sleeved tubes for a clean look in your PC’s case. The CLC 360 takes the longest to reach steady state because it’s burning in this test, so it becomes a matter of the liquid temperature running higher than the Kraken or Arctic series.
