Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 & 280 CPU Cooler Review & Benchmarks

Arctic is launching the new Liquid Freezer 3 cooler, which immediately set forth to take the top rank as the best noise-normalized CPU cooler in our benchmarks. The Liquid Freezer 2 established itself as the best liquid cooler in our tests many years ago. In the time since, it's been dethroned on some technicalities at times, but often finds its way back to the top of rankings through value and noise-to-thermal efficiency. We're benchmarking and reviewing the new Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 360 and A-RGB 280 today vs. the Lian Li Trinity Performance, the DeepCool Mystique, other AIOs, and air coolers like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin.
