It’s outdoing the X72 and CLC 360, which both struggle at these lower noise levels because they have too many fans at too small of a size, and so they lose pressure. While this increase in radiator thickness does, in theory, offer greater cooling capacity, it also comes with the drawback of requiring higher pressure fans to effectively flow air through the fins. Idle temperatures also plot the lowest, not that this is particularly useful, and that’s partly because of the VRM fan slightly reducing heat in the area of the socket. The Arctic Liquid Freezer II averaged about 8-10 microns depth from the 0-point, with minimums and maximums at 2 microns and 48 microns.

Unlike most pumps from our competitors, which run at full load even when idle, our pump clocks down if no cooling is needed. AMD has been using a new multi-die layout for its high-end AM4 processors for a few generations now.A system's motherboard can also influence this, especially if the socket suffers from bending, which results in poor cooler contact with the CPU.

The Liquid Freezer II A-RGB combines the efficient, award-winning PWM pump of the Liquid Freezer II with new A-RGB fans optimised for static pressure. This square profile slab of copper looks to be appropriately sized to offer solid coverage for current Intel and AMD mainstream processors, as well as LGA 2066 that this cooler supports. Whilst this is certainly better than those perplexing fold out diagram sheets that some others provide, I'm obliged to point out one IMPORTANT CAVEAT: The AMD video ONLY applies to AM4 series motherboards.It’s keeping the temps of my 13700k below 34c on idle and low 90s on maximum load without even undervolting my cpu.

Resultado: Unos 5-7° menos en idle y casi 10° menos en carga si llegar al nivel de ruido del noctua. It’s not a gimmick because it actually works: The top result is with the VRM fan on, measuring at 34. As discussed in two recent cooler videos we did, that’s because the heat load isn’t enough and the gap between coolers begins to shrink.It’s not like that’s going to equate an FPS advantage that’s noticeable to the human eye, and it’ll only help render times extremely marginally – we’re talking seconds on the hour, maybe up to half-a-minute on the hour. Our next test is for the levelness of the coldplate surface, measured with special precision instruments for testing we debuted in our Corsair A500 review. Plus, our sophisticated cable management hides the PWM cables of your radiator fans in the sleeving.
