Tested Performance & Future-Proof Compatibility

The Liquid Freezer III-280 has been rigorously tested and confirmed by Intel for peak performance on i9-13900K/KF and i9-14900K/KF CPUs. It offers multi-compatibility with current Intel and AMD sockets, ensuring your investment is future-proof with guaranteed support for upcoming Intel LGA1851 processors. ARCTIC ensures that this cooler is ready for the next generation of CPUs.

Simplified Installation & Enhanced CPU Contact

Installation is made easy with pre-installed radiator fans, integrated fan cables, and included MX-6 thermal compound. For Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851 users, a specialized contact frame is provided to minimize mechanical stress on your CPU and motherboard, ensuring consistent cooling performance and a secure fit.

Advanced Cooling for All Components

Experience comprehensive thermal management. A silent, powerful 60mm PWM-controlled VRM fan actively cools voltage converters, promoting longer lifespan and stable operation. The in-house developed PWM water pump features an improved coldplate and optimized water pipes, working in conjunction with a 38mm thick radiator that boasts an extended fin surface. High static pressure P fans efficiently move air through the dense radiator. For AMD users, a native offset mounting solution is engineered to align perfectly with Ryzen CPU hotspots for superior heat dissipation.

Flexible Control & Design Variety

Manage your cooling precisely with two connection options: separate regulation for pump, VRM fan, and radiator fans, or an all-in-one control via a single PWM setting. The Liquid Freezer III-280 (BLACK) is part of a series offering various sizes and designs, ensuring an ideal match for your system. Note that some motherboards may have limited compatibility due to oversized M.2_1 slot coolers, for which a suitable M.2 cooler is provided free of charge.
