Some marketing info:

“The Liquid Freezer II series has been tested numerous times by independent reviewers and praised for its performance, price, and quietness. It consistently exceeds all expectations and sets new standards in compact water cooling. As a further mark of recognition, the Liquid Freezer II series was awarded the “European Hardware Award 2022” for the best CPU water cooler. The Liquid Freezer II A-RGB combines the Liquid Freezer II series’ efficient, proprietary PWM water pump with ARCTIC’s new A-RGB fans optimized for static pressure. It allows for perfectly matched, multi-color lighting effects. With the help of the advanced A-RGB Gen.2 technology and customizable LEDs, you can design your system with your very own look. While many competitors use a generic water pump, we’ve gone to great lengths to develop our own. The results? Quieter operation and higher efficiency. And, like the Liquid Freezer II’s fans, the water pump is PWM-controlled and adjusts its speed accordingly. It leads to significantly lower noise levels at low and typical loads and much lower power consumption for all components of the AiO. Unlike most all-in-one liquid cooling manufacturers, we rely on 38 mm thick radiators with a high fin density. It allows more water in the circuit and significantly increases the cooling surface area.

Water has a much higher heat capacity than aluminum or copper. It leads to a slower and up to 5 °C lower temperature increase in the time-limited turbo mode of modern CPUs. Small fans have the reputation of being particularly loud and not very durable; that’s why we set out to develop a quiet, sturdy diagonal fan, especially for the Liquid Freezer II. We’re 100% convinced this 40 mm fan is just as durable as our other case fans. If the fan doesn’t live up to our claims, our customer service team will send you a replacement free of charge (without you having to replace the entire unit).
The fan is PWM-controlled and can cool your voltage converters and the socket area almost inaudibly by up to 15 °C, especially in overclocking scenarios, with insufficient VRM cooling or in cases with low airflow, thus allowing continuous high load. Provided sufficient VRM cooling, it can be turned off at will.
The illuminated P-fans are already mounted on the radiator from the factory. During the development of the new P-series fans, special emphasis was placed on a focused airflow and, thus, a high static pressure. The fans guarantee extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P-series fans are suitable for heatsinks and radiators.”
