arctic liquid freezer ii 420 argb review b

   What has always impressed me about the Liquid Freezer II line of AIO by ARCTIC has not only been its cooling efficiency, the 40mm pump fan and the somewhat excellent routing of fan cables but also the fact that you just need a single 4pin connector to power both the fans and the pump. These of course stand true about the standard and RGB/A-ARGB lines so I’m really glad ARCTIC didn’t change anything else but the fans for the latter (although an RGB/A-RGB illuminated base would be a nice touch). Now as you can tell from the charts the 420 A-RGB model produced almost the same cooling results as the standard model and even though RGB/A-RGB fans are usually noisier than standard ones this wasn’t the case here (tiny difference). Overall, aside the size of this AIO (458x138x65mm) which clearly makes it compatible with only a fraction of the PC cases out there i see no other drawbacks with it so let’s move to cost.


   So, just how much are you required to spend to get your very own ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 A-RGB AIO? Well, currently you only need to spend USD149.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 131.25Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so no objections from me here either. Long story short if your PC case has enough room for an 420mm radiator (458mm effective), you own a high-end CPU and your motherboard is A-RGB compatible the Liquid Freezer II 420 A-RGB model by ARCTIC represents great value for your money and for that it gets the Golden Award.
