Arctic Launches Liquid Freezer II 420 AIO Liquid Processor Cooler

An XXL expansion: with three 140 mm P-fans and a 458 mm length radiator, the Liquid Freezer II 420 is to date the largest and most powerful variant of ARCTIC's water cooling series.

Developed for massive cooling performance, the formidable CPU cooler comes with high compatibility for all common Intel sockets as well as AMD's AM4 and AM3 (+). In conjunction with distinctive features, such as a self-developed, PWM-controlled pump; a 40 mm fan for cooling the motherboard voltage converter; and the proven, pressure-optimized P-fans (characteristic of the entire Liquid Freezer II series), the Liquid Freezer II 420 joins the series in setting the highest standards for CPU water cooling. Since entering the market, the all-in-one series has won over hardware enthusiasts and independent tech reviewers around the world. After receiving numerous awards for performance, value and operating silence, the Liquid Freezer II 240, our dual 120 mm PWM fan variant, was also awarded the coveted European Hardware Award 2020 in the category "Best CPU cooler (water)".

With the additions of the Liquid Freezer II 420, ARCTIC's CPU water cooling series currently comprises a total of five product versions. Due to the long hoses and the availability in different sizes, the Liquid Freezer II can be used in a variety of ways, from small form factor PCs to big towers

  • Compatible with Intel & AMD sockets
  • In-house developed, PWM-controlled water pump
  • High performance enables overclocking
  • Motherboard VRM cooling solution
  • Fans optimized for high static pressure
  • Fully sheathed hoses
  • Integrated cable management
  • Maintenance-free water circuit
  • Secure hold thanks to backplate

The Liquid Freezer II 420 is available now at a price of $150 / 135 EUR.

Seems like a great cooler since it has a 1.5 inch thick radiator instead of the standard 1 inch that most AIOs come with. One thing concerns me though. How would you control the VRM fan on this thing? Unless I am mistaken there is not any software for this thing so the VRM fan would be tied to the CPU temp or something and would spin up and down all the time. As a Ryujin 360 owner I know how loud these small fans can be so I set mine to a static level in the Armoury crate software. In the Asus AIO only the pump speed is controlled by motherboard and the other fans by software.

The VRM fan is the reason why i skipped the serie in general.

I'm looking for the barrow waterblock with integrated pump, since i own some rads already, but i can't find it.

Also 420 is hard to fit in most pc cases.

Wow that VRM fan is awful!
You cant even remove it to use your own fan.
Terrible design.

I blow a reduced voltage larger fan at my chipset and ram.
No matter what it always has the needed cooling and is silent.

I have the 280mm model, it is quite and has a great cooling performance, however the Vrm fan is more about look and completely useless. 2nd, i did a di-lid to the cpu. but when installing it, it will touch the capacitor in the motherboard z390, so wasn't able to use it straight to the cpu die. Fans,pump vrm fan are all controlled by 1 plug.
i do not think there will be a huge gain between the 420mm and the 280mm, maybe 1-2 degrees
Everything is great about it except the pump/block/vrmfan design* itself
