Arctic Liquid Freezer III - 240 A-RGB (White)
My first AIO, so I don't have a direct comparison, but installation was quick and easy. Easier than some air coolers. Fans are pre-assembled and the 3in1 cable makes connection no problem. It's really quiet.
The height of the cooler just fits into the Fractal Pop Mini (mATX)

First AOI in first self-built PC.
I'm quite satisfied, assembly was a bit fiddly as I'm still quite inexperienced.
At first I used the all-in-one cable because it was easier to install. I later switched to the separate cable supplied for fear of insufficient power supply and first had to find out in various forums where exactly the fan, pump and Vrm connections go as it wasn't mentioned in the explanatory video and it was only shown that you plug them into one connection.
Dear manufacturers, it would have made sense even to me as a lender to plug them in, but I would have preferred to see the names of the slots. That's why the explanatory video falls under unusable for me.
I find the supplied thermal paste (MX-6) practical. This is also sufficient for 2 or possibly 3 applications.
Unfortunately, the cable management on the two fans is needy and slightly loose. The cables were easily visible from various angles, which really annoyed me. With a lot of patience, this could be fixed.

Cooling an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with it. Under full load for several minutes, the temperature remains below 82°C. When the CPU and GPU (RTX 4070 Super) are under full load, this cooler is significantly louder than the GPU. If the CPU is suddenly under load, the fan speed and the noise level increase quickly and audibly. Nevertheless, the price/performance ratio is absolutely superb!
I will definitely buy a more powerful AIO water cooling system later and keep it in reserve.
