Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 – Quality does not have to cost a lot

Key features

I’ve recently tested the popular Arctic Freezer 34 air cooler, which eventually won an editorial award. Now I would like to give a liquid all-in-one cooler from the same manufacturer a hard time on a hot processor. We will see if Arctic can design an AIO cooler as well as it did with an air cooler. Liquid Freezer II 240 should offer a very interesting price to performance ratio without unnecessary decoration.

Conclusion and rating

I don’t know how the Arctic engineers did it, but they probably included black candles and a chalk-drawn pentagram. The Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 is simply an excellent AIO cooler. In addition, it is not overly expensive compared to the competition. With its efficiency, it even catches up with the far more complex and bulky Eisbaer Extreme from Alphacool, which uses a powerful D5 pump and a 280 mm radiator. The build quality is at a high level, the materials used are high quality, only the relatively aggressive style of the block and the braiding of the hoses may not suit everyone aesthetically.

I’m a little sorry about the only two-year warranty and the inability to regulate the pump separately from the fans. But these are all just tiny details that don’t spoil the otherwise very good impression I got from testing this cooler. I usually have a slightly skeptical approach to AIO coolers. However, I can highly recommend this one and it also deserves the editorial award ‘Go for it!’.
