teaser
Today, we are reviewing a 360 mm variant of an AIO cooler from the Arctic, Liquid Freezer III 360 ARGB. It’s a successor to a well-known and successful cooler, which we check in 420, 360, 280, and 240 mm versions. Some major changes were applied (which we’ll cover right below), and the performance should be improved thanks to it, but we’ll return to it later.

teaser
Corsair has updated its RGB series towards the new iCUE LINK H150i LCD liquid cooler, which we review.

Cooling 190 Published by Krzysztof Hukalowicz 15

teaser
Today, we are reviewing a 420 mm variant of an AIO cooler from the Arctic, Liquid Freezer II 420 ARGB. We’ve already covered the A-RGB 360 mm version and 240 mm 2 years ago and the non-RGB 280 mm – 3 years ago. This time, it’s the biggest available version, and it will be checked on an AMD Ryzen 7900X and 13th-gen Intel i9 13900K (previously, it was i7 4790K and i9 9900K), so it’s an up-to-date setup.

teaser
Today, we are reviewing a 360mm variant of an AIO cooler from the Team Group, T-Force Siren Duo 360. It’s the only size that it’s available from this series. There’s also no other color version available. What makes it different from the other solutions in the market is the M.2 2280 SSD block. It is made of aluminum with a copper plate, like the block for the CPU. Both have an ARGB mirror design.

In this review, we dive into the performance of the be quiet! Dark Rock ELITE CPU cooler. The Dark Rock Elite integrates a cooling system that incorporates seven heat pipes in tandem with two 135mm Silent Wing PWM fans. Depending on the operational mode, these fans have varying rotational speeds: 2,000 rpm for performance mode and a reduced 1,500 rpm for a quieter operation. Users can toggle between these modes using a switch conveniently located on the cooler.

teaser

Today, we are examining an air cooler from the Deepcool: an ASSASSIN IV. As the name would suggest, it’s a successor to the Assassin III, which we covered almost four years ago (time goes by quickly). Again, the main competitor is the “classic” Noctua NH-D15. Last time, it was more or less a draw. How will the fourth edition fare with an Austrian competitor?

Arctic A35/I35 A-RGB air coolers review

Cooling 190 Published by Krzysztof Hukalowicz 5

teaser

Arctic (a german manufacturer) these days is mainly recognizable from their Liquid Freezer II, which we reviewed as a 280 non-RGB version, 240 ARGB, and 360 ARGB. Still, today, we are examining two air coolers from the Arctic: an A35/I35 A-RGB. Why two in one review? That’s mainly because each is dedicated to the CPU from a different producer. A35 is aimed at the AM5/AM4 platform, and the i35 is for Intel’s 1700, 1200, 1155, 1151, and 1150 sockets.

teaser

Be quiet! has redesigned its liquid cooling line, meet the Pure Loop 2 FX. Not only does the LCS CPU cooler offer fresh looks with new aRGB LEDs, but it is also more silent with a PWM-based pump. And that pump sits unusually between tubing, conceivably in order to deflect an Asetek patent.

Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Alphacool; it’s an Eisbaer Aurora 360 HPE.
