Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB

The Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB is an all-in-one CPU water cooler built for Intel LGA1700, LGA1851 and AMD AM4, AM5 sockets. It arrives with three 140 mm radiator fans pre-installed in push configuration and integrated cable routing. A 60 mm VRM fan provides targeted airflow for motherboard voltage converters. The package includes MX-6 thermal compound for immediate installation.

Thermals, noise and power

The pump runs between 800 and 2800 rpm under PWM control while radiator fans span 200 to 1900 rpm and the VRM fan covers 400 to 2500 rpm. All fans use fluid dynamic bearings for quiet operation. Combined airflow reaches 69.90 cfm or 117.06 m3/h at a static pressure of 2.0 mmH2O. The ARGB lighting draws 0.40 A at 5 V DC through a 3-pin connector.

Upgrade path and fit

This cooler replaces stock air coolers or smaller AIOs when CPU thermals throttle performance or VRM temperatures rise under sustained loads. The 450 mm tube length and 458 mm radiator require a case with a 420 mm mounting location. Builders using compact chassis or motherboards without a 3-pin ARGB header cannot use the lighting or VRM fan features.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the block on an LGA 1700 socket without bending the bracket?

The kit includes a dedicated Intel bracket. Align the four spring-loaded screws with the motherboard back-plate, tighten them in a cross pattern until the springs are fully compressed, then connect the single 4-pin PWM lead and the 3-pin ARGB plug.

Which parts will need replacement first and how often?

The three 140 mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans are rated for long life; the pump runs at 800-2800 rpm and the VRM fan at 400-2500 rpm. Under normal use expect several years before any fan or pump service is required.

What thermal limit appears first during a long, heavy workload?

The 420 mm aluminium radiator (458 × 138 × 38 mm) with 450 mm tubes and 2.0 mmH₂O static pressure will reach its heat-dissipation ceiling before the pump or fans hit maximum speed, causing coolant temperature to climb.
