Key Specifications

Advanced Cooling Performance for Modern CPUs

The Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 employs a sophisticated dual-fan configuration with 140mm PWM-controlled fans capable of reaching 2500 RPM. This design generates an impressive 186 m³/h airflow while maintaining quiet operation through fluid dynamic bearing technology. The copper base plate ensures optimal heat transfer from your CPU to the liquid coolant, while the aluminum radiator efficiently dissipates heat across its 280mm surface area.

Multi-Platform Compatibility

This versatile cooler supports the latest processor platforms including Intel’s LGA 1851 and LGA 1700 sockets, plus AMD’s AM4 and AM5 configurations. The comprehensive socket support means you can upgrade your system in the future without replacing your cooling solution. The 45cm tube length provides flexible installation options in various case sizes, from compact builds to full-tower configurations.

Intelligent Thermal Management

Built-in VRM cooling fans operate between 400-2500 RPM to provide additional thermal support for voltage regulation modules on your motherboard. The pump’s 800-2800 RPM range ensures optimal coolant circulation based on real-time thermal demands. This intelligent system automatically adjusts performance to balance cooling effectiveness with noise levels, delivering quiet operation during light workloads and maximum cooling when your CPU is under heavy load.
