NATIVE AMD OFFSET MOUNTING: Optimized for the multi-die chiplet design of Ryzen processors – 5mm offset for optimal coverage of the CPU hotspot, resulting in more efficient heat transfer
ACTIVE COOLING OF THE VOLTAGE CONVERTERS: PWM-controlled VRM fan that additionally cools components in the base area, such as voltage converters
INTEGRATED CABLE MANAGEMENT: The PWM cables of the radiator fans are integrated into the jacket of the hoses, which means that only one visible cable is connected to the motherboard
LIMITED COMPATIBILITY WITH A FEW MOTHERBOARDS: Oversized coolers on the M.2_1 slot can lead to compatibility problems. An overview and solution is available in the technical data, in the manual and on the manufacturer’s website. Please use the compatibility check

Good overall, no complaints
Definitely got this more for aesthetics over performance, dropped down from a large air cooler to this one, temps are up a tiny bit but as expected going from such a large heat-sync down to a smaller AIO, not the fault of the cooler at all, cooler itself does totally fine and is very quiet and works very well for its size and the looks are killer, no complaints at all

Long Overdue Upgrade
Decided it was finally time to get a new AIO coolerâold one worked fine in terms of performance, but the water running through it was just super loud and grating on my ears when Iâd be on my PC for hours at a time. Thatâs to say, this cooler is a lot quieter and temps are still great! ~40 when idling but when Iâm running games or have several programs open at once, ~50-60 depending on the load.Pros:- quiet- high performance- compatible with AM4 (comes with brackets)- PWM pins (Iâm aware many modern AIOs are PWM compatible but my old one was not, so this is a notable upgrade)Cons:- no paper instructionsâthereâs a QR to access instructions online and they wouldnât be very clear to someone who has never installed an AIO beforeOther things of note:- radiator is quite thick; I use a ATX mid case with MSI mobo and sapphire GPU. Radiator just barely squeezed inOverall a great upgrade and well worth!

Awesome AIO with a kinda big caveat
I got this for my ryzen 9 7900x3d and itâs been amazing! Itâs a great value and I havenât seen over 75c, ever! And Iâm talking cinebench r23 multicore for 30 minutes, heavy occt cpu test for an hour, 120watt+ constant load, and especially not in any games. It also runs very quiet and the fact that you can set the fan speeds for the pump, vrm, and rad separately is a nice touch, compared to the LF2 lineup.I will say that the mounting is kinda wonky, compared to other coolers, and kinda my only complaint. For one, on ryzen cpus, it mounts lower and doesnât cover the entire IHS. This is actually a better thing, since it mounts directly over the die/ccdâs and cools more efficiently, but this does mean it can only be mounted one way, and I fear it might be an issue for more novice builders (who might not read clear instructions).Now, my biggest gripe has to be how difficult it is to actually screw on. It uses 2 spring retention screws that go into the mounting plate, problem is theyâre as stiff as a board and require the strength of Zeus to properly screw in. Im not kidding, Iâve used 2 of these lf3 models, and I was worried Iâd bend a pin on the socket, after I did that once before, or break the motherboard. Thank god I didnât delid my cpu, I know Iâd crack the die.After that, the argb LEDâs are bright and itâs nice how the pump can have separate argb functionality, but both fans act as one large LED strip instead of being mirrored. So, any effects applied to the fan further from the hose is about 1-2 seconds behind.Overall, great build quality and excellent bang for your buck, just work on making it easier to mount.

Looks Great, Quiet, and Excellent Cooling
It looks superior to a lot of the generic AIOs out there.Installation is pretty standard.My only issues with installation were of my own fault1) Asus X670E-E MB you have to remove the top NVME heat sink and use a low profile one.2) Fractal North is not really compatible with it. It doesn’t have the top clearance, and you are not able to slide it towards the front of the case. The cooler touches the memory, and just touches the back heatsink. The tubes stick out to the side about an inch plus. There isn’t a way to close the side glass panel. I’ll just have to dust it more frequently.It’ll easily cool a 7800X3D without any issue. Air cooling is the same way, but this overall is just a bit quieterThe Freezer 3 is seriously quiet. I love their fans, and I’m glad they modernized the look.The cooler head is pretty large, but looks nice.I’m glad their site has a MB support page to see if there are any incompatibilities. It let me know in advance of the NVME heatsink. They offer one if you don’t have one. That’s incredibly nice of them to do.Overall it is a win
