ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 240 - CPU AIO Water Cooler, Water Cooling PC, Intel & AMD, Efficient PWM-Controlled Pump, Fan: 200–1800 RPM, LGA1851 and LGA1700 Contact Frame - Black

The media could not be loaded. Attaching the video clip how I do install in with one hand for these who suffer from the installation pain.Now about the cooler. It is very quiet, super quiet I would say.The performance. I had D-15 before on the undervolted 5950x, temp wise I see a slight improvement. Only slight, however, I'm using 240mm model becauseI have the Fractal Design C Mini. The CBR23 I was able to achieve with D-15 was 29.6, with this cooler only 29.8, but the GPU temp is way lower.I tried a lot o 280 and 260 AIO, and did see a sustantial improvements in the temps, but at the cost of the installation pain due to small form factor.This cooler doesn't need a dedicated software to run, but it has no coolant temp sensor.Summary:Pros:1. Quietest CPU cooler I ever seen(heard actually)2. 3 in 1 fan cable, you can use only one header to control it. Or you can use 3 different cables to control the pump, VRM fan and fans3. Good performance4. No extra software needed5. Good build quality6. Excellent valueCons;1. No coolant temp sensor2. Installation skills are high, not a beginner friendly3. Fans and pump rmp is low. For the high performance you may want to replace the fans

NZXT N7 B650-E motherboard - FitsAMD 7800X3DAzza Cast 808 (I removed the outer shell to get a better view for this picture)So I've seen a lot of reviews stating this was difficult to install...I honestly didn't think so and I'm the type that struggles with the little front panel connectors. Best tips I can offer is to go to YouTube and search for AIO name and include "installation". That is super easy to follow and you can just pause the video as needed.The other thing is to have your PC laying down on its back (if you already have the motherboard installed into the PC). I could be wrong but I think with AMD AM5 boards the Bracket is fixed to the board itself so you don't even have to worry about holding the bracket the same time as trying to install the mounting parts. While you have the PC laying down also be sure to have access from the top of your PC case so you can use both hands.The last tip is to take your time. Between those 3 things it was a relatively easy install.Now for my actual thoughts on it. TBH I am not impressed by the look of the pump cover, the Deepcool AK620 Zero Dark, that this Arctic Freezer III replaced, was much better looking. (If I can ensure not to impact performance, I might 3d model and print my own cover).Unlike the aforementioned Deepcool cooler this is however much better at cooling and noise. The idle and task temps are about 10° better, and the noise levels are way better. When my Deepcool was idle it was just a bit quieter than the Arctic is under load. I might eventually swap out the fans for Noctua fans but as is I'm ok with it.BTW check your case recommended specs for radiators, as this radiator is quite thick. I could see this being challenging for an ITX build where every spare millimeter counts.Only concern I have so far, and I don't know if this is a "break in" type thing, but I noticed my pump is kind of noisy here and there...it sounds like water trying to path through a weird opening (kind of hard to explain), but it's not a constant thing. It just does it here and there for a few seconds then everything is quiet again. I just hope it goes away and doesn't get worse while I'm still in my exchange period.So overall it's a 5 star with me so far, but the minor things make this more like a 4.7 for me

Got the 240, works very nice so far. Better than than the 2 previous air-cooled setups I've tried. This time used with HeatPhase strip from Gelid (under $10). Running Ryzen 9, 7900X and BOINC software, sharing my processing with community. Easy enough to install if you're patient. Wish they had an external mount option. If I had room for the larger ones I would have gotten something slightly bigger, maybe next build. Overall, happy with purchase.

Great product, very quiet and keeps everything cool. Installing it can be interesting if you have an intel chip but the videos they have really help out.
