Our next chart continues with the 3950X 200W load, but allows all the coolers to run at 100% fan speed during the test. The 3800X was intended to be our standardized platform before we got to these higher-end coolers, the charts level-off a bit with the big air coolers. They mostly exist for system integrators or for special SFF PCs that don’t have the physical space for a tower of any kind.

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.And while one of them showed significant thermal improvements after installing Thermalright’s LGA1700 contact frame, the other motherboard showed no difference in temperatures whatsoever!

This is an excellent solution as the cable management is far cleaner than what a typical end-user could achieve. It’s not a gimmick because it actually works: The top result is with the VRM fan on, measuring at 34. Unlike most pumps from our competitors, which run at full load even when idle, our pump clocks down if no cooling is needed. Unlike most pumps from our competitors, which run at full load even when idle, our pump clocks down consuming less power and producing less noise if no cooling is needed, even with its additional fan for VRM cooling. 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.Arctic’s Liquid Freezer II 360 is a top-tier cooler with superb acoustics, capable of cooling over 290W, for excellent sustained performance when paired with Intel’s i9-13900K. So yeah fully approve of this cooler, only one issue was i needed a little help mounting it as the backplate for my motherboard, a Asus Crosshair VI Hero ins't stuck on ofcourse and the mount for the Heatsink is in multiple parts so you need at least 3 hands to mount it, 1 for the back plate, 1 for the first mount and screw and 1 for the screw driver. Our next chart will be of the VRM fan performance, but we’ll start with the one everyone is used to.
