The product we have for review today is possibly the most important new liquid CPU cooler to launch this year.

But Arctic has now launched its successor, the Liquid Freezer III. In this review, we take a look at the new Liquid Freezer III 360 ARGB White and put it to the test on both our AMD and Intel CPU cooler test benches to see what improvements Arctic has made with this new model.
