Water cooling Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 Black - ACFRE00179A

Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 Black is a liquid cooler with a 280 mm radiator, aimed at serious gaming and enthusiast configurations, where you want stable temperatures and silence under load. With two 140 mm fans, a wide RPM range, and a copper water block, this cooler provides serious thermal headroom for modern CPUs. It supports current sockets like AM5, AM4, LGA 1700, and LGA 1851, making it a good base for future upgrades. The black color and lack of RGB make it ideal for a simple, clean build without unnecessary lights.

What you get

With a radiator size of 280 mm and two fans 140 x 140 x 25 mm, you get a larger cooling area compared to standard 240 mm solutions, which helps with higher TDP processors. The range of 400–2500 RPM gives you flexibility – you can set it to be almost silent at idle and aggressive under serious load. The airflow up to 110 CFM and static pressure 5.2 mmH2O are important if you have denser radiator fins or a more closed case – the fans will be able to effectively push air. The copper water block ensures good thermal conductivity between the CPU lid and the liquid, while the pump with 800–2800 RPM and DC 12V power allows stable circulation in various modes. The length of the tubes 450 mm gives you freedom in installation – you can place the radiator at the front or on the top of most mid/full tower cases.

• Liquid cooling with a 280 mm radiator, suitable for more powerful processors and configurations with high thermal load.
• Compatibility with popular CPU sockets AM4, AM5, LGA 1700, LGA 1851, making it a universal choice for new and future platforms.
• Two included fans sized 140 x 140 x 25 mm provide a large airflow area and lower RPM for the same flow rate.
• Fan speed range of 400–2500 RPM allows for a quiet profile under light load and aggressive cooling during gaming and rendering.
• Airflow up to 110 CFM and static pressure 5.2 mmH2O help effectively move air through the radiator even in more closed cases.
• The copper water block and pump with a speed of 800–2800 RPM ensure good heat exchange and stable liquid circulation.
• Tube length of 450 mm and standard 4 PIN connector for the fans facilitate installation and management through the motherboard.
• Black color and no RGB, suitable for minimalist builds and systems without lights.

Who it is suitable for

This cooler is suitable if you are building a powerful gaming or workstation machine on AM5, LGA 1700, or another supported platform and want a cooling reserve for higher frequencies and prolonged load. It fits well with mid-range to high-end builds, where air cooling is already on the edge. If you are looking for a compact system with a small case or are keen on RGB show, this is not the most suitable choice.

The combination of a 280 mm radiator, strong 140 mm fans with high CFM, and a copper water block makes the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 Black a very stable foundation for a serious CPU, without unnecessary effects and with a focus on real efficiency.
