Arctic only recently presented the successor to the popular Liquid Freezer II AIO, and is now also introducing a new model in the air cooler segment. You can find out whether the Freezer can also perform well without the “Liquid” addition in the following test report.

Packaging and scope of delivery
The cool blue tones of the printed box give hope for equally cool CPU temperatures, but more on that later. A schematic representation of the air cooler is shown on the front, with further information and QR codes for scanning on the left and right.
A table on the back then provides precise information on the key data of the contents. If you remove the outer box, you can admire the transport protection in the form of a cardboard origami.
If the screws were not shrink-wrapped in small plastic bags, the packaging would have been completely plastic-free. But at least it’s very close.
In addition to the obligatory brackets, spacers and a small T20 tool, the accessories also include a tube of MX-6 thermal paste. The cooler even comes with an LGA1700 contact frame.
Assembly and installation
Arctic no longer provides paper instructions, but the QR codes mentioned above can be scanned. For the AM4 socket I’m using here, the existing backplate of the mainboard is once again reused, with its own spacers and brackets added to the front.
The cooler is then simply fixed in place with two screws using the integrated threads. A click system has been devised for attaching the two fans, which is as simple as it is stable.
It’s actually incredible that something like this is not yet standard. But the ubiquitous brackets will probably simply be cheaper.
