corsair icue h100i elite lcd display liquid cpu cooler made in china

FeaturesA premium all-in-one CPU cooler that combines powerful, low-noise cooling and vibrant RGB lighting with a personalized LCD display, offering custom graphics to accent your system"s aesthetics and track its real-time performance at a glance.

Showcase your live CPU temperature, favorite animated GIF, funniest meme, your team"s logo, or anything you like on a custom 2.1" IPS LCD screen with 480x480 resolution, ultra-bright 600cd/m2 backlight, 24-bit true color depth, and over 16.7 million colors.

A high-performance pump head provides powerful, low-noise cooling for your CPU, with a ring of 24 individually addressable RGB LEDs encircling the screen for even more vibrant lighting effects.

Two all-new 120mm CORSAIR ML RGB ELITE magnetic levitation fans with eight RGB LEDs per fan and AirGuide technology channel airflow for extreme CPU cooling performance.

CORSAIR iCUE software enables you to switch between a variety of display options such as fan speeds, CPU temps, images and GIFs, and more, adjust fan and pump speeds, and control and synchronize RGB lighting with all iCUE-compatible devices.

Computers are some of the most flexible, powerful devices in the world, but that power can come at a cost. Running the most powerful components (or overclocking those parts) can cause them to run hot, which can lead to hardware throttling and even failure. While PC fans have been a go-to for a long time, water coolers (and other liquid coolers) are vastly more efficient.

Thankfully, you don"t have to be a professional to get a cool (pun intended) rig these days, thanks to the availability of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. These cooling units are self-contained, meaning you don’t have to worry about spilling water on your expensive gaming PC components, and they are incredibly easy to install. As an added bonus, they are usually far quieter and take up less room than air cooling components (making them perfect for mini ITX cases). Read on to find our list of the best liquid CPU coolers.

This 240mm cooler comes with socket support for the latest AMD and Intel processors, including AMD’s Threadripper processors. Pulling heat away from your CPU with a copper cold plate, it pumps liquid into a 240mm radiator fitted with two Corsair ML Series 120mm fans. It runs quietly and efficiently when your CPU is running cool, and it tops out at 37dBA when running at maximum (75CFM).

Managing the AIO cooler is also simple. You can control fan and pump speeds from within Corsair’s iCUE software right on your PC, and monitor CPU temperature to make sure your settings are giving you optimal performance. If visual flair is also your thing, the pump has 16 RGB LEDs on the head, and you can manage each light with the iCUE software, too. Corsair is a well-known and respected brand, and there is a reason for that. This is a high-quality liquid cooler, which is why it gets our top spot.

If you’re looking for a powerful way to cool down your computer at an affordable price, Lian Li Galahad GA-240A is the way to do it. This AIO cooler comes in under $120 but has a sizable 240mm radiator and dual 120mm fans. Those fans generate 2.6 mmH2O of air pressure and 69.17 CFM of airflow, ensuring ample air movement throughout your PC while remaining quiet.

The fans and the water pump housing of Lian Li Galahad GA-240A feature 47 addressable RGB lights to keep your system glowing. It’s also easy to switch between the 17 different lighting effects thanks to a handy little controller. Beyond that, the kit includes thermal paste and ensures compatibility with most major CPU sockets, meaning you’ll have everything you need to get up and running.

Looking for an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 240mm radiator, wide compatibility, RGB options, and a bargain price? The DeepCool LS520 is the one for you. It has a big radiator with two fans designed for higher static pressure and a strong, concentrated airflow. And the water pump has a powerful three-phase drive motor and great coolant flow. This cooler even manages to keep everything running quietly, as the pump noise only reaches 19 dB

Beyond the DeepCool LS520’s cooling prowess, you get adjustable RGB lighting on those fans, and the water pump features an infinity mirror to make its lights really shine. Motherboard connectivity even allows you to link and sync it with your existing RGB setup. And if you’re worried about the cooler working with your CPU, it complements a variety of builds thanks to its extensive socket compatibility, including LGA1700, AM5, and sTR4.

The NZXT Kraken X53 is the successor to our longtime favorite NZXT Kraken X52 that features some major improvements to look better and cool more efficiently. (We"ve seen this cooler easily keep an Intel Core i7-9700K running at full tilt, well under 50-degrees Celsius.) It’s available in 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm.

If you need the biggest, most powerful liquid cooling unit, look no further. The Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD has a large, 360mm radiator to handle the hottest CPUs and the highest overclock speeds. The Corsair ML RGB Elite fans can adjust to higher or lower levels, according to the moment’s cooling needs.

As far as lighting, the fans’ RGB lighting can also be adjusted with Corsair’s iCUE software, but the unit really raises the bar with the pump’s 2.1-inch IPS LCD display. It has 8-bit color depth for millions of color options. The display can show visual effects, and even GIFs or memes, all at 30fps (and, of course, it can display handy system performance data, like your CPU temperature).

When it comes to liquid CPU coolers, there’s a good reason the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion stands out. It pairs RGB lights with translucent material for maximum visual impact. Imagine a glow stick dancing in the middle of your PC while it’s running, and you’ll have a good idea.

Cooler Master pairs the dual-chamber radiator with two MasterFan MF120 Halo fans (also translucent), which have a total of 24 ARGB LEDs each, and you can customize your look from the included ARGB controller, so you don’t need to have motherboard RGB controls to make use of it.

The Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora offers just about everything you could want in an AIO water cooler. Its 240mm radiator provides powerful cooling, and the two 120mm Aurora Lux Pro fans are capable of 2.0 mmH2O of static pressure and 61.5 CFM of airflow. The biggest way this cooler sets itself apart is that you can open the fluid chamber and refill it, meaning it can have a longer life as part of your rig.

There’s a good amount of RGB lighting on display here as well, although it’s not as flexible as other options on this list. Both fans sport RGB light rings and the pump includes a transparent window with RGB lighting inside.

Several cooler manufacturers have displays, but NZXT’s Kraken Z63 truly stands above the rest. The display contains important information like the CPU and GPU temperatures, but you can also have it display animated GIFs and other things, letting you truly personalize your setup.

The Kraken Z63 isn’t lacking in power, either, as it comes with a powerful pair of 140mm fans and an advanced Asetek water pump. If you like the idea of having a display, but don’t need tons of RGB light flooding your system, this is the one.

The EKWaterBlocks EK-AIO 240 D-RGB cooler is primed and ready to keep the hottest, high-end gaming rig cool. It"s compatible with Intel and AMD setups, and is easy and quick to set up. The Vardar S 120mm fans on this beast can produce 2.89 mmH2O of static pressure and 66 CFM airflow to enable the 240mm radiator to handle whatever your CPU can throw at it.

For quite some time in my experience and personal use, I have used the CORSAIR H100i series AIO with V2 being the most used one. Everyone has a personal preference and I am no exception to that. For AIOs, I prefer a software-free cooling solution though this is the area where CORSAIR has other thoughts.

For a long CORSAIR has used Aetek as their OEM for their Hydro cooling solution but effective from their RGB PLATINUM series coolers, they have partnered with CoolIT. CORSAIR has done a good job here by still putting out almost the same block design as is on the previous generation. I admit it, even I did not pick it up until I got to see the mounting hardware which immediately rang the bell in my mind that it is not Asetek.

CORSAIR has gone all out with the design and cooling performance of RGB PLATINUM series coolers as they have bundled two RGB ML series fans. ML is short for Magnetic Levitation or MagLev. They were released in two versions ML and ML Pro. ML Pro are among my personal favorite fans though at full speed they are loud. The block itself has 16 digital RGB LEDs for some vivid and stunning lighting effects. Each fan has 4 digital RGB LEDs.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM CPU Liquid Cooler has 240mm size aluminum radiator. The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM out of the box is compatible with the Intel LGA 115X/LGA20XX and AMD’s AM4 and TR4 sockets. Yes, TR4 mounting brackets are provided in the box. The base of the cooler has roughly 55x55mm and CORSAIR is taking advantage of this large size base to provide support for TR4.

Take a note please that the base will not fully cover the TR4 CPUs. As has been the case with the CORSAIR coolers, the CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM needs software to control the lighting and thermal aspects. The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM is compatible with iCUE for this purpose. Let’s start.

There is a picture of the cooler in the multiple colors printed in the main section. CORSAIR brand name and logo are printed on the top left. Salient features are highlighted across the board like multi-zone backlit including the pump, 5 years warranty, etc.

The left and right sides of the packing box are identical. CORSAIR brand name and logo are printed on the top followed by the features of the cooler and the picture.

The features of the CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM are printed in multi-lingual here. There is a sticker pasted at the bottom right with part no and serial no of the unit.

The Hydro series CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM CPU Liquid Cooler features two ML RGB series fans as well as a new optimized pump design for optimal flow. The block has a total of 16 digital RGB LEDs in multiple zones for vivid lighting action and each ML RGB fan has 4 such LEDs in the central hub.

Copper cold plate has a larger surface area at the base which has allowed the CORSAIR to provide support for the TR4 socket. Let’s start taking a closer look at the unit.

The hoses are clamped to the radiator using the barbs. There is a sticker pasted on this side of the chamber. CORSAIR brand name and logo are printed on the top left. Part no of the unit is also printed. This sticker is another variation from what we have seen on the Asetek based stickers.

The tubing on the CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM is braided and meshed for nice and clean looks. The length of the tube is 350mm approximately and they are quite flexible to my liking.

Let’s take a look at the main ingredient aka water block. CORSAIR was able to retain the footprint of the block design to an extent as well which may be hidden from the naked eye. Only a closer look or the mounting hardware will give it away.

The pump housing is made of plastic. The top side has an aluminum finish on the sides which blends in well with the blackish top lid. The top lid has a CORSAIR brand logo and name on it and they light up when powered on.

Overall the CORSAIR was able to retain the same footprint as is on their previous generation hydro series coolers despite changing the OEM. Kudos to their design team as this is not an easier task by any mean!

Let’s take a look at the fans now. The CORSAIR has provided two ML 120 RGB fans with this cooler. Each fan measures 120x120x25mm. The rated speed is up to 24RPM with an airflow of 75 CFM having an air pressure rating of 4.2mmH₂O. The noise level is rated at 37 dBA. The fans have 4-pin PWM connectors. The fans are rated at 12VDC with 0.225A current rating.

The center portion has a large diameter. It has a black color sticker pasted on the top with the CORSAIR brand logo printed on it. There are 4 digital RGB LEDs in the central hub.

There is a sticker pasted in the center with a CORSAIR brand logo printed on the top half and other information printed in the lower half. The fans are made in China.

Place the block on the CPU by aligning the clips on the brackets with the latches or catchers on the stock backplate. Once placed, simply hand tighten the screws to the full.

The best thing about AIOs is the maximum clearance and compatibility with respect to the chassis, DIMM slots, PCIe slot. This cooler has no such clearance issue. The tubes are not blocking any DIMM slot and RAM modules of any height can be used.

Similarly, the block is not obstructing the first PCIe x16 3.0 slot. Make sure that chassis has provision for a 240mm radiator mounting (277mm total length for this cooler) and clearance for 55mm height and you are good to go.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM packs multi-zone RGB lighting which creates some stunning and vivid effects. The overall lighting is not overly done and the ability to control each LED gives the users an opportunity to create and customize their preferred lighting effects.

In order to control the lighting and functionality of the pump and the fans, the user is required to install the iCUE software which can be downloaded from the CORSAIR website. The user is also required to connect the bundled USB cable to the cooler and available 9-pin USB 2.0 header on the motherboard.

When the iCUE is launched, it will detect the connected and enabled CORSAIR devices. In my case, the CORSAIR H100i RGB Platinum and the CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4 kit were detected and shown on the list. These pictures are coming from our AMD based test bench for which the CORSAIR has sponsored the DDR4 kit.

Clicking on the CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM cooler picture will load its default page. The block’s picture is shown on the right side with the current loaded lighting effect. Fan1, Fan2, and pump speed are listed before the picture of the block.

The user can create/customize the notifications based on the temperature of the CPU and can set the LEDs to change the color for a defined thermal junction.

Click on the Lighting Effects to access the lighting control for the cooler. The first picture is of the pump followed by the two pictures of the fans. The pump’s 16 LEDs are highlighted, so are 4 LEDs on each fan.

The brightness of the LEDs can be controlled under the Settings tab of the software. The user can also update the firmware of the cooler from here as well as change the temperature unit.

The thermal paste being used on the test bench is the Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste. The use of the same thermal paste for all coolers will ensure the standardization and mitigate any performance benefit that may come using the supplied thermal paste.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM was tested using Quiet, Balanced, and Extreme profiles/modes with overclocked Intel i7 6850k to 4.3GHz. Let’s take a look at the results.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM CPU Liquid Cooler has performed that well using Extreme and Balanced profiles. Not a bad performance with Quiet mode either.

During the testing, the UEFI/BIOS of both platforms were showing the pump to be running at 52xx speed. The pump’s speed was changing frequently so much so that once it was shown to be operating at 10000 RPM. Using the Extreme profile in iCUE the maximum reported pump speed was in 29xx RPM. I have connected both fans one by one on the PWM fan header of the motherboard (Asus Rampage V Edition 10).

I could not measure the sound level of the unit due to uncontrollable environmental noise which would invalidate the actual sound level. Based on my experience with the fans and coolers testing so far, the ML120RGB fans were loud under the Extreme profile.

The CORSAIR is continuing the SAGA of their Hydro series CPU Liquid coolers. Their new generation is dubbed as RGB PLATINUM and is available in 240 and 280mm sizing. CORSAIR was kind enough to send their H100i RGB PLATINUM for the review.

They have changed the OEM for their Hydro series coolers effective from this generation switching from Asektek to CoolIT. Yet their design team was right on the job and retain the original footprint that was introduced with Pro series of their coolers which have Asetek as OEM.

I did not realize this until the cooler was unboxed and mounting hardware came in my hands. The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM is compatible with Intel LGA115X/20XX and AMD’s AM4/3/2/FM2 and TR4 sockets and comes with 5 years warranty from CORSAIR.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM CPU Liquid Cooler has an aluminum-made radiator having a dimension of 277x120x27mm. 27mm is the height of the radiator. The total height with a fully assembled unit will be between 54-55mm with fans and the screws. The radiator has 20 FPI count.

The top lid is surrounded by a silver color shroud. The lid itself has a black color background. The CORSAIR brand logo and name are on the lid. They light up when powered on. The diffuser runs on across the four sides of the block. There are 16 digital RGB LEDs, four on the top and three on each of the sides.

A micro USB port is on the front side. CORSAIR had bundled USB cable as the lighting effects and functionality of the pump, in particular, are controlled through iCUE. The pump’s housing has three cables coming out of it.

These are SATA cable including 3-pin connector, 2-way 4-pin fan headers cable and 2x 4-pin RGB LED power connectors cable. The copper base measures 55x55mm. CORSAIR has provided mounting brackets for the TR4 socket as well.

CORSAIR has bundled ML 120 RGB fans in the box. Each fan measures 120x120x25mm. The rated speed is up to 24RPM with an airflow of 75 CFM having an air pressure rating of 4.2mmH₂O. The noise level is rated at 37 dBA. The fans have 4-pin PWM connectors. The fans are rated at 12VDC with 0.225A current rating.

The user is required to download and install the iCUE software in order to control the lighting effects of this cooler as well as controlling the full functionality of the fans and the pump. The unit disconnects for a fraction of the second whenever iCUE is loaded in the Windows which should not have been the case.

The CORSAIR H100i RGB PLATINUM has performed superbly on both test benches and has taken a top spot in our graphs for Intel whereas for AMD it is on the third spot but the margin of difference is negligible (0.4°C and 0.3°C). However, this high performance is coming at the cost of a high noise level. With a custom fan curve, the user can easily set the optimal speed to noise ratio for better acoustic without compromising much on the thermal performance.

The H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler from Corsair. It sports excellent elements to enhance your PCs performance while catering to your own personality and style.

For starters, we’ll look into the packaging and contents of this cooler. When it arrived for our Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO Cooler review, it came in a standard Corsair-looking cardboard box.

It’s a simple black flip-open box that has “Super Chilled” written on the cover. Also here, you’ll find Corsair on the top-left corner, while the name of the unit is on the lower-left section.

Inside, everything was carefully and neatly packed to secure the product. Not only that, but each item was padded before bundling everything in the box. We greatly appreciate Corsair for doing this since they’re not only well-protected, but everything was organised too.

Like always, all the contents of the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler were nicely and neatly packed by the company. Everything was organised and Corsair obviously ensured that everything would be secure during transit.

So if you’re someone who always worries about their shipped products getting damaged while on the road, don’t worry. With how Corsair packed their LCD AIO cooler, you can be sure that no dents or damages will appear.

Now when we began unboxing, the first thing we saw when we opened the box was the cooler itself. It consists of the fan, radiator, tubing, pump/cooling block, and more.

Most of the items came pre-assembled and ready to use. That means, you’ll only need to attach/install the fans and the bracket to hold the cooler in place.

Other than the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler, you’ll find a backplate designed to support different types of CPU sockets. Then, there are two ML Series PWM 120mm RGB fans, plus fan and radiator mounting screws. Lastly, you’ll even find a USB Y-splitter, iCUE Node commander, and a quick start guide.

Of course, we’ll also dig into how Corsair designed their cooler, and what its different functions are. To begin, we’re focusing on the product’s cooling block.

The H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is compatible with Corsair’s iCUE. Because of this, you would expect it to have the typical cabling linked to the product. But instead, things were revised a bit, so you’ll have just a single cable leading to the HUB (node). Then, there’s another cable leading to the motherboard (the pump RPM).

We flipped the CPU’s cooling block/pump to see its rear. Then, we saw an all-copper base with TIM or thermal grease that was pre-applied for you. It wasn’t an entirely perfect or smooth application, but it didn’t affect the product’s performance in any way.

Additionally, this block also features an LED ring that has up to 24 ARGB LED lights. All these can be controlled and managed via the iCUE software from Corsair which is included with the display.

Aside from the pump head, the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is equipped with a 2.1” IPS LCD screen. It’s a smart addition to the product for easier and more convenient viewing.

With it, you’ll be able to display your PC’s stats like its fan speed or even its system temperature. What’s more, you can show these off in a wide array of graphical styles and themes which is great.

We actually tried it out during our performance check for the Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO Cooler review. And, we did find it pretty useful so we appreciate Corsair for adding it.

The LCD screen has a 480 x 480 resolution and a refresh rate of 30 fps. It can be utilised as a vital dashboard for exhibiting the health of your computer system.

If you want, you can choose to personalise the screen based on your preferences. Instead, you can put your own personal spin on it since the screen can display various images and animated GIFs. This will provide you with endless possibilities to show off your personal style.

The LCD display of the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is encircled by a ring. Specifically, it’s a ring of 24 individually addressable RGB LED lights that you can program via the iCUE software. This is necessary if you want to link with animations and sync with the rest of the iCUE RGB ecosystem.

The Commander Core Fan / RGB controller allows you to focus cable routing in a more organised and easy way. Why? Simply because Corsair opted for a few wires on the pump / visual segment of the board.

On this, you’re able to link up to a total of six fans (PWM). Not only that, but you’re also able to link six of your compatible RGB devices. To note, the USB header is necessary for accessing the Corsair iCUE software.

What makes the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler better than other products on the market? Let’s find out by discussing its key features here in our Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO Cooler review.

The 2.1” IPS LCD dashboard of the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler allows you to display anything. You can upload your images and videos, or select a pre-installed screen and lighting profile. With that, you can showcase your funniest meme, favourite animated GIF, team logo, and more.

With the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler, you won’t need to sacrifice your PC’s performance due to thermal throttling. This cooler’s powerful pump head performs with low noise and ensures that your CPU can maximise its performance.

The H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler comes with two ML RGB Elite magnetic levitation fans. These have eight RGB LEDs per fan and AirGuide technology channel airflow for extreme cooling performance.

Corsair’s iCUE Software offers zero RPM cooling profiles, allowing fans to completely stop spinning at low temperatures. As a result, it eliminates fan noise.

Like all of Corsair’s Elite LCD coolers, the H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is LGA 1700 ready. It comes with all the necessary mounting hardware to make it compatible with modern platforms. Plus, installing it only takes minutes.

This time, we’ll see how the cooler performed once we’ve installed it to our build. Our Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO Cooler review will discuss our experience with it to help you decide if it’s something worth the purchase.

The H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler, like other models, was extremely easy to install. This was all thanks to the mounting bracket that the company included in the package.

It was good that the unit was pre-filled with coolant in a secure and closed loop during manufacture. Now for the whole installation process, it was very simple. We started with installing the backplate & standoff screws before positioning the cooler then tightening the screws.

We completed the installation process for our Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO Cooler review. And once we were done, we realised that it would look great on any build. To put it simply, it’s an excellent alternative to heat pipe coolers with the included benefits of being relatively silent.

Aside from these notable aspects, the cooler also comes with an aesthetically-pleasing design which makes it even better. If you’re worried about not having advanced skills to install it, don’t worry since it isn’t required. You’ll only need around 10 minutes to complete the installation process.

Let’s focus on the iCUE software this time. When you utilise this, you can immediately sync RGB lights across all the compatible Corsair products with just one click.

At the core of all things Corsair, iCUE software provides smart controls with extensive possibilities for your benefit. This utility suite has a user-friendly interface, so any user will easily understand how to use it.

With industry-leading and quality RGB light controls, iCUE allows you to easily manage and light up your PC. You can readily sync your lighting across the entire setup while also exploring tons of easily customisable lighting presets. Not only that, you can get into multi-layer lighting effects that will amaze everyone looking at your build.

From smooth and quick transitions to dynamic ripples and waves, the iCUE software’s lighting controls go beyond your keyboard. It’s the best way to brighten up and stylise your whole setup that you can show off to all.

Though do take note that if you are already utilising CUE, installing the iCUE software will instantly replace CUE. Then, settings will be migrated in the process as well.

The iCUE software is an ambitious operation that after improvements, will offer you extra lighting, monitoring and fan control capacities. It will be better than ever, so you can only expect the best from Corsair.

The Corsair H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler excelled in acoustic performance. In idle mode, its noise level was only around 30 dBA. Under load, it sat at around 34dBa.

The H100i Elite LCD AIO cooler is an exceptional cooler that offers a significant amount of cooling. Sitting next to it is its aesthetics and noise levels.

During our tests, we were able to install the cooler quickly and with ease. Its performance was excellent as well and we have no complaints about it. It delivered silent performance and efficient cooling which is excellent for today’s platforms.

Liquid cooling systems have taken a left turn when acoustic and cooling performance couldn’t get much better. Next to that is the addition of RGB in the pump and a small LCD screen for customisation. And of course, Corsair did this excellently for the H100i LCD AIO cooler.

This latest cooler from Corsair not only offers superior cooling performance. With its LCD screen, you have the option to present anything you want and enhance your PC’s aesthetics. These made our overall system more visually appealing. So, this cooler is also a great choice if you want to showcase your build’s design.

It also has the iCUE Command Core that allows you to control your fan speeds and RGB lighting with ease. Aside from the aesthetics, we really liked the noise-free performance of this cooler.

Overall, it’s a solid AIO cooler that offers great aesthetics and performance. Plus, it’s easy to install and using the iCUE Software allows for various customisations. It’s an excellent option if you’re looking for an upgrade without spending too much.

It reaches similar performance to competing coolers from NZXT and Corsair while being very inexpensive. Currently selling for about $130, the price is comparable to and in some cases lesser than most competitive 360mm AIO coolers out there. The pump on the AIO is controlled by PWM, allowing it to modulate with the workload rather than run at full speed all the time. The Liquid Freezer II also includes a 40 mm fan next to the pump, set to sit over your motherboard"s VRM chips. In , this may improve stability. Otherwise, it includes three Arctic 120 mm fans to keep air flowing. This cooler is all about performance and price. It gets those two bits right, but not without some concessions. It doesn"t feature any sort of lighting, and the design may not be to everyone"s tastes. Still, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II hits a sweet spot that other coolers can"t compete with. Socket support is a little

limited, but the Liquid Freezer still supports most recent chips.
