Hidden Changes: Tear-Down of Arctic’s Liquid Freezer III CPU Cooler & Disassembly

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Kryosheets and Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut Paste (Amazon - ) The Arctic Liquid Freezer III is the new best liquid cooler for CPUs that we’ve tested, and now we’re tearing it down to learn about how it’s assembled and what the differences are versus the original Liquid Freezer II. The Liquid Freezer III is a value-focused, high-performance liquid cooler that has a drastically different pump block (with separable VRM fan unit), and the coldplate itself underwent changes for this new version -- something we weren’t expecting. The ability to repair and disassembly the Liquid Freezer 3 should make it easier to maintain long-term.
