Let’s see how the demanding OC stress test thermal performance hierarchy changes with a 40dBA lock on the noise output.

And this is where the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB cooler starts to shine. Despite being locked at 40dBA, the Arctic cooler was able to maintain 75% of its original components’ PWM running speeds. This meant that the drop-off in cooling performance was far less significant than for some of the other – louder – AIOs.

Arctic’s unit manages a delta temperature of 65C under these conditions. While that is still not at the level of the Asetek-based Phanteks cooler or Fractal’s highly competitive Apaltek Lumen S36 RGB, it is a very strong result in isolation. And it allows Arctic’s cooler to match some of the AIOs that it was previously struggling to maintain pace with at full fan speed.

Noise balanced performance once again looks to be a strength for the Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB.
