Epilogue
The new Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO features powerful P12 Pro fans, which increase its noise output and allow for higher performance. Moreover, the offset mounting on Intel sockets provides top performance. At the current promo price of 86 dollars, this product is a steal. You buy it without a second thought! I don’t know how Arctic manages to lower its prices so much, but it effectively kills the competition by doing so, creating major headaches for other brands selling cooling products.
Prices in the US market as of 15 May 2025
The cooler comes pre-assembled with the fans on the radiator daisy-chained together, relieving users of a significant installation step. You can also select to control all fans and the pump together through a single cable or three separate cables, which is ideal. Moreover, no software is required to control this AIO; all you need to control the fan and pump speed is an app like “Fan Control” or your mainboard’s respective settings. Speaking of installation, if you have an Intel socket, removing the hardware to install the contact frame is preferable. This part, the contact frame’s installation, can be tricky, and the worst part is that when Intel changes the socket, which might be soon, Arctic has to provide new mounting hardware to retain this cooler’s compatibility.
The AIO’s and fans’ build quality is good. The fans use a fluid dynamic bearing that will last long under normal operating conditions. The only thing missing is a filling port, which could extend the product’s lifetime since it will allow for some basic maintenance once required.
If you don’t care about ARGB lighting, the plain Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 model is the way to go; otherwise, an ARGB model is offered for about 14 dollars more, with a final price of 100 bucks, which is again highly affordable given its performance and specs.
I have tested many AIOs recently, but didn’t have time to post their reviews. If you want to check the most recent coolers that Cybenetics tests (I get all results from the Cybenetics labs), check the following link:
If you are searching for fans for your AIO or chassis, read my Best Cooling Fans article before investing in new cooling solutions. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the product’s price. I get a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a difference for me, especially now that I am on my own, working exclusively for my media and not for someone else.

We are waiting for the review of the P12 Pro and if possible a comparison between the Pro version and the Max version, to know which of the two is better to buy.
Well, if you need it urgently, you can make your own qualified decision about it (from Aris’ measurements) 😉
Max: https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/fans/84/
Pro: https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/fans/175/
Could you please review the Arctic P12 Pro in advance? I know the fan isn’t on sale yet, but I’d like to know if the PRO is worth it over the MAX.
Excellent review. I had already seen the “preview” on Cybenetics. In fact, it’s impressive how the P12 Pro performed in terms of static pressure!
As for the pump, which has a pump with better acoustic characteristics, Light Loop or the one in the review?
If you could give your opinion, for the quietest possible system based on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, which cooler would you use?
I’ll review the fan once I find the time (this period is crazy). Regarding the pump, I don’t remember the light loop pump noise. Please check the corresponding review.
I would get a monster and silent air-cooler to be frank, even for the 9950X3D. Most AIOs are noisy unless you fix their fans speed profiles (and lose performance)
–“…I would get a monster and silent air-cooler..”
By monster, do your mean the 1860g PCCooler RZ820? 😀

interesting 🙂
Ha, this is probably the biggest monstrosity
(but cannot be purchased at retail, as the manufacturer offers it only in their PC builds).
