Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 AIO CPU Cooler

Although it doesn’t have RGB features, its cooling performance worked as great as it was advertised. In fact, it’s not an issue for us since what matters the most are the cooler’s thermal and acoustic performances. The best thing is that we got all of these for an affordable price. Overall, we were totally satisfied with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 CPU Cooler and its performance. With that, we’re highly recommending this product.

Arctic has built, thus far, a good product. We need to see how it does long-term, as Enermax has scared us away from firm recommendations on thermals alone. We would recommend the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 as a go-to solution over competing liquid coolers, based on thermal and acoustic performance, although we’d also note that most proven (e.g. Asetek, CoolIT) coolers will perform similarly. If you want RGB LEDs, you’re mostly just paying more for them, but should be in the ballpark for performance.
