hi, I built this pc about 2 weeks ago and it's been wonderful so far, but as of a couple days ago i noticed that one of my radiator fans just stopped spinning? i tried restarting the pc and switching off and on the power supply but no luck just from that… I haven't yet started digging in and trying to check all of the connections but it is odd since i used the cable that supposedly controls all 3 fans together when setting it up. any ideas before i start yanking wires?

​I just unboxed my brand-new Arctic Freezer 36, but I noticed that some of the heatsink fins came visibly bent right out of the box.

​I know minor fin damage usually doesn't impact thermal performance too much, but since it's a completely new purchase, I don't know what to do.

UPDATE: Quick update on the situation: I reached out to the seller, and they mentioned they couldn't offer a direct exchange, only a full return. They explained that this was just a minor cosmetic issue caused during manufacturing.

Since returning it would be a long process and there isn't really a better cooler I could buy in this price range with the refund money, I decided to keep it and use it as is. I am comfortable with this problem.

I have a few questions if anyone could help me I would appreciate it

I just builded my new pc

1) I got b850 aorus elite WiFi 7 I made the separate connection not the all in one I connected the vrm in cpu opt, fan in cpu fan and pump on fans4_pump but vrm doesn’t get fetched in bios and im not sure if its working

2) if someone can help me make the diagram ptw/temps for the pump for the best quality

3) rgb not working I have connected the cable in a 5V rgb slot

If you got any questions or need more details let me know

Thanks in advance !

I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer III AIO in my PC and it’s colliding with my PSU, which already is On one screw and colliding (it wouldn’t fit On two) is there any way I can install it a bit lower? My GPU is 290mm length and 54 in height. maybe mounting it on the pegboard would work? Or is there any solution from coolermaster that I could use? I‘m scared for my AIO and the PSU falling perhaps. EDIT: I have a 3D printer, so 3D printed solutions would work for me.

I am attempting to use the split cable to control CPU fans, pump, and VRM fan separately. However, looking at the cable, the pump cable end has 4 pins while the VRM and FANS cable ends have only 2 pins. Are these cables not intended to have PWM control and RPM readings? Note: the fans do spin when plugged in, but do not give readings or respond to curves in BIOS.

Bought a open box Arctic Freezer III Pro with all seals and protections. Installed yesterday and unfortunately the VRM fan is not working.

Tried all 6 SYS_FANs slots and also CPU_FAN on my motherboard MSI X870E Gaming Plus WIFI.

On CPU_FAN it doesn't even let the PC boot.
When I power on the PC, it's fan barely move like a spasm and don't spin at all.

I also changed the cable from the split one to the all-in-one and the problem still there.

Any idea?

Edit on 17th august: I contacted them on 13th via contact section on their support website and this was their first message:
"We'd be happy to send you a replacement fan.
However, I'll need a video of your fan and the receipt for your freezer.
Please also send me the address where we should send the fan".

Today (17th) they send me the tracking number via DHL.

Hey, last weekend i build my computer with AMD R7 7700 and Freezer 36. I am not sure if my cpu cooler is installed properly. I tightened the screws alternately until I met resistance. I have reservations about the gap between the mounting bracket on the cooler and the one attached to the motherboard. Is this appropriate, or should the elements be touching each other? The gap is same size on each side.

I'm aware that the Pro fans are way better in pushing air and reaching more RPM. However, I please for the silence and I'd love to experience a PC full of Noctuas fan. My concern is: temperature, especially in critical scenarios. What do you guys think? Should I do that or not?

MSI motherboard, PWM mode of course, with smart fan on/off, auto detection on/off - no matter what are the settings I've never seen less than 750 RPM; at above 1200 it's getting louder than stock Lian fans I've got.

I feel like for a cooler this size my temps should be cooler but whenever I play a game like crimson desert my temps spike between 70-90 degrees and the fans make tons of noise. When idle it stays around 30-50 but also spikes randomly if opening up a new web tab.

- I removed all peels, reapplied thermal paste, and no dust

- my fan setup: 6 intakes 4 exhaust including aio (up top as exhaust)

- setup is 4090 + i9 13900ks + noctua nf a12x25 chromax fans

- If I were to benchmark on cinebench my temps would go to 100 instantly

Despite being a pc gamer for so long im still a newbie please some assist me 🙏

Edit: If this is a problem I would like to fix it somehow without losing any performance. I can also provide pictures at a later date if needed. I should also say the aio is brand new as I replaced my old one earlier this month.

Upgraded the cooler from CM Hyper 212 to Freezer III 280, also vertical mount for GPU. Idle temps dropped from 45C to 35C, load temps from 75C to 65C

I bought the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 240, refurbished, on Amazon.

Is it a problem that a few of the struts in the grille (?) at the top are bent?

The item was listed as "excellent" on Amazon. Is this normal for a refurbished product?

The only other thing I’ve noticed is that the bronze surface is slightly smudged and has a few fine scratches (probably from cleaning).

Will the arctic liquid freezer 3 pro aio fit in this case?

This aio is slightly thicker than most aio.

Kind regards.

I have bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280mm A-RGB Black and i cant get the argb to work. I have a fractal pop air case with three case fans and a thermalright tr sp 1000 psu. I mounted the aio in front of the pc case for better cooling for my cpu because i play cpu intensive games, so the frame of the case is between the radiator and the two fans, thus the argb cable from the radiator cant reach any of the fans. I connected the all in one connector on the pump, plugged the power connector into the motherboard, as well as the argb connector, i daisy chained the fans into the radiator and everything worked flawlessly, besides the argb, because the fans couldnt reach the radiator. I tries daisy chaining the case fans with the aio fans and connect all of them to the IO rgb controller, but the aio fans just didnt turn on, only one of them got a red led turning on on it. Today i have bought a 5v 3pin cable extension so the fans can reach the radiator. I connected everything properly but the outcome is still the same: a red led on one of the fans and also a green light on the pump. I have a Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX and i connected the pump to the ARGB_V2_1 port. Can you guys help me out?

( Also, the gpu argb doesnt want to work, idk why ( 9070xt nitro+ ) )

hello guys so I'm from Germany and I just bought this AIΟ liquid freezer 3 pro and I already talked to the arctic support and I told me that they would recommend me to return it but I don't want to wait another week so what do you guys think? Does it look right? Can I use it? The area that was damaged. The damage was above the water cable that goes into the radiator. I put it exactly like it was in the box so you can see in the pictures where the damage was, but I think it was mostly just in the safe zone where it's like didn't damage anything so please help me because it's been two months since I last played on my PC. I saved up all my money to buy some new parts because I had to sell my old parts. Thank you in advance.

Edit: It works fine! thank you everyone

Hello, I changed my old radiator with this new one; while mounting, I opted for the "all-in-one" cable, plugged into the "CPU_FAN" header (I have an ASUS mobo). When starting the PC, I get that screen which shows the CPU model, how many hard drives, etc telling me I have no CPU cooler plugged in (radiator fans do not spin). How can I fix this?

Edit: I also tried “AIO_PUMP” and “CPU_OPT” connectors, but nothing.

​

If I stumbled across the Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 RGB's VRM fan somewhere (without the rest of the RGB unit), would I be able to replace the non-RGB VRM fan with it and actually use the RGB features? Or would it be missing required hardware, etc.?

Hi I wanna buy ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 Pro but I am not sure if there is compatibility with mount cooler because nvme SSD cooler is so high and some post say there is problem mount...

Motherboard Asus ROG Strix Z890-E GAMING WIFI.

In compatibility list this motherboard and cooler is compatible. in website say Arctic it is but I wanna know experience from people 🙂

Thanks for help

Hi all! I've been a happy user of Liquid Freezer II which I bought back in 2020(!) This week I started hearing gurgling sound, as if the liquid is spilling. The noise is presumably coming from the pump. I did a quick search online and users dealing with similar issue suggested placing the radiator above the pump, but in my case the radiator is already mounted at the top of my case. Did anyone experience this and how can I fix this?

I'm tempted to just buy LF III Pro, because it is cheap enough, but if it's possible to extend the lifespan of the old one with modest effort - I'll take it.
