Product details

The Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 A-RGB is a high-performance CPU liquid cooling system designed for demanding computing applications. This successor model to previous Liquid Freezer versions features a 280 mm radiator with advanced cooling technology that efficiently dissipates heat from modern processors. The system incorporates an integrated pump-block design with a pre-applied MX-6 thermal compound for optimal thermal transfer. With addressable RGB lighting integrated throughout the cooling assembly, users can customize the visual appearance while maintaining focus on cooling performance.

The radiator measures 317 mm in length, 138 mm in width, and 38 mm in thickness, constructed from aluminum with a black finish. The cooling block features a copper base plate measuring 56 mm x 56 mm for maximum contact with the CPU surface. The system includes two 140 mm PWM-controlled fans operating at speeds between 200 and 1700 RPM, generating airflow up to 101 CFM with noise levels as low as 22.5 dBA. The pump operates at a maximum speed of 3200 RPM with minimal vibration transmission.

Compatible with modern CPU sockets including Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x and AMD AM5, AM4 platforms, this cooling solution supports processors with thermal design power up to 300 W. The closed-loop design requires no maintenance and comes pre-filled with a proprietary coolant mixture. The tubing measures 400 mm in length with reinforced sleeves for durability and kink resistance.

Installation is simplified with a comprehensive mounting kit that includes all necessary hardware for multiple socket types. The addressable RGB lighting connects via standard 5V 3-pin headers and can be synchronized with motherboard lighting control software. The complete system weight is approximately 1450 grams, providing substantial cooling capacity while maintaining manageable physical dimensions for most computer chassis configurations.

The Liquid Freezer Ill was already a good cooler in the standard version, achieving a high place in our ranking and, above all, being very affordable at a favourable price. The Pro version obviously differs first of all in the new fans. These are no longer the inexpensive P12 fans, but the Pro version, which is not yet available to buy individually, but differs significantly in design...
