That's a nice deal

Looks like a product Dump. Those are decent prices though.

Looks good enough to actually be tempting, review doesn't seem bad either.

For those that are unaware:

Only available through Amazon in the US? Lame.

Looks promising!

Wow these prices make about everyone else look downright silly

The world's most privileged market is missing one brand's special attention? Outrageous.

"Outrageous" is your word choice, not mine. I expressed mild disappointment. However...

You don't see anything negative in that that this privileged market (one of the world's largest) can only buy these products from a single retailer, and that retailer is the world-eating behemoth that is Amazon? That's the part that doesn't sit well with me.

Welcome to the club.

Not saying spain does not have retailers beyond amazon, but you get what I mean...

Arctic is a small company my man. Small Europe based company. The point just flew over your head. Nevermind.

And you seem to be missing mine, so I guess we're even.

Except Thermalright.

Fair enough, I just don't want to discuss it here. Maybe someday in an appropriate thread. Cheers.

kapone32Except Thermalright.

And interestingly, the two most budget friendly companies get the least coverage on one of the most visited tech forums in the world. Edited to clarify: No Arctic fans reviews, no Thermalright PA120, PS120, FC140 reviews.

I'm not sure you know how these things usually work.

Most probably you should ask Arctic and Thermalright for the reason.

Seriously, still no support for HEDT sockets either on AMD or Intel's side? I got so excited when this was announced, but what is the point of having a 420 AIO when you can't use it on platforms that actually need it?

Rest assured, overclocked high-end Socket AM5 and LGA1700 SKUs need it as well.

I would not be surprised if this gets a revision pretty quickly, given the kinds of criticism it's been receiving from various reviewers for the mounting hardware.

Do these have a water temp sensor?

I do not want to hijack this review thread, so I have posted my mini-review in the link below.

OkieDanDo these have a water temp sensor?

No it doesn't. I have never used a DIY water cooler before, so I do not know what the practical use of such information would be on a desktop system. On a Threadripper running at full load for hours at a time I could see a benefit for tweaking the system, but I do not know what practical use there would be on a standard desktop system.

I had no issues mounting mine on my AM4 system, I did so on my second try by simply turning back the first screw by a quarter turn, that was it, done within seconds with no fuss, my only issue is noted in my mini review at the top of this post and it might be a non-issue for most people, i don't know, I can only provide people my experiences and for mounting, this was not a problem for me in the slightest, I have had far more difficultly on many a product over the years.

"Need" is somewhat subjective, I got this to make my system quieter whilst not losing any performance and nothing overheating, and I also have some notes about using the 420mm version of the Freezer III, like the important question of "will it fit"...

NostrasWow these prices make about everyone else look downright silly

I am not sure when this offer ends, but it appears to be an Amazon exclusive for Arctic Cooling's 24th Birthday and the prices are amazing which is why I jumped right away (actually too soon as the 420 didn't fit the band new case I bought it with).!!! I would suggest people find out when the offer ends and act accordingly. The Freezer III 360 Black for £67 delivered is a stunning deal (albeit I need to remember to cancel my "free 1-month Prime trial" that got me the free delivery).

The purpose of having water temp sensor is so you can make fans not ramp up/down with CPU temp.

OkieDanThe purpose of having water temp sensor is so you can make fans not ramp up/down with CPU temp.

That makes perfect sense as we all know that the CPU temps regularly spike up in an instant, so I see how this would make it easier to keep the Fan and Pump speeds much more constant which certainly gives a better experience for the end user, thanks for the explanation.
