ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 - Multi Compatible All-in-One CPU AIO Water Cooler, Efficient PWM Controlled Pump, Fan Speed: 200-1700 RPM (Controlled via PWM), LGA1700 compatible - Black

Product Information

The Thermaltake Floe Dual Riing RGB 280 TT Premium Edition has no significant competitors when it comes to compatibility. It works with Intel’s LGA 2066, 2011-3, 2011, 1366, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, and 1150 processors, as well as AMD’s TR4, AM4, FM2, FM1, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, and AM2 processors. The DeepCool Castle 280EX has outstanding build quality. Its 140mm fans include a rubber casing for noise reduction, and its thin, aluminum radiator has additional skived fins for better cooling efficiency. In your hand, all of the components feel solid, suggesting the AIO cooler’s high quality. This screen may show real-time temperature readings or be set to show a picture of your choice. While there isn’t any RGB to speak of, the LED screen’s customizing capabilities are unrivaled. Overall, the DeepCool Castle 280EX is a fantastic cooler for the money. It has some of the finest cooling capabilities in its class, and it remains quiet and inconspicuous even while under high load. The DeepCool Castle 280EX is a fantastic option if you’re searching for a high-quality AIO cooler at a reasonable price. Radiator: 322 x 137 x 27mm / 12.7 x 5.4 x 1.1” | Fans: 140 x 140 x 25mm / 5.5 x 5.5 x 1” | Fan Speed: Up to 2000 RPM (PWM) | Noise Volume: 10 – 36 dBA | Warranty: 5 years

In terms of performance, the X63 will perform similarly to the H115i. Its Aer P fans can hit speeds of up to 1800 RPM and they operate in a decibale range of between 21-38 dBA. At their loudest, they aren’t much louder than the ML140 PWM fans on the Corsair iCUE H115i. However, as there is no Zero RPM mode on the Aer P fans, the Kraken X63 won’t be able to run as quietly as systems with the H115i in lower CPU load scenarios. The customizing software, on the other hand, is not particularly user-friendly. Changing cooling profiles requires a complete system restart, thus switching profiles on the fly is out of the question. The app also only controls the lights, not the fan or pump speed, so its use is limited.

as i wasnt happy with it but this meant i had to also replace my Thermaltake Core V21 Case as it was mATX Thermaltake Floe Dual Riing RGB 280 TT Premium Edition 7. Thermaltake Floe Dual Riing RGB 280 TT Premium Edition

The Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Pro XT is the latest addition to Corsair’s long and illustrious series of AIO coolers. The iCUE H115i Elite Capellix and this cooler have a lot in common, however there are some significant variances. The VRM fan clearly does something, and temperature improvements will follow the more even FPM on either side of the VRM heatsink, but we also want to be clear that a top-mounted radiator would also benefit the VRM. This is something we simulate in our test setup. VRM ThermalsNot a big deal since laying the board flat on the table bypasses it, but this could be even easier if Arctic refined the solution with cap screws. On the installation front, buyers should also be aware of the short cables for the fans. They can be connected to the splitter cable (which is sleeved alongside the tubes), but we prefer connecting our fans directly to the motherboard to exercise more control over the fans. This is easily solved with some 4-pin-to-4-pin extension cables. Conclusion

Thermal imaging from our FLIR ONE Pro camera shows moderate heat soak around the radiator sides and within coolant tubing at 50% fan speed, while 100% fan speed shows good regulation and exchange of thermal load. Given that the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 runs so quietly, operating the unit with a good PWM curve should allow for aggressive fan speed without excess system noise. It has amazing cooling capabilities. The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 is the top performing cooler in its class, according to a test on an Intel I7 running at 4.2 GHz. It will keep your CPU very cold. Right now, the best 280mm AIO is the Corsair iCUE H115i or the NZXT Kraken X63. However, the EVGA CLC 280 and the ARCTIVE Liquid Freezer II are excellent options as lower-priced alternatives as well.The next test will be for the VRM fan. For this, we’re going to start with an overlay demonstrating the linear feet per minute flow, often called FPM or LPM, as measured with a hotwire anemometer at the edge of the chassis for the cooler. The measurement is taken at an angle toward the VRM heatsink. We measured at a few points and under a few conditions. The best AIO cooler for the year 2021 is the Corsair Hydro H60.”}},{“@type”:”Question”,”name”:”What is the best AIO liquid cooler?”,”acceptedAnswer”:{“@type”:”Answer”,”text”:” And, for the most part, the prices of 280mm AIOs and 360mm AIOs are on par with each other as well. So, the best option for you will likely come down to which AIO cooler size best fits your case.
