Did you catch our launch review of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card? If you did, you'd have noticed the hoops we had to jump through to disassemble the card without breaking anything. As we carefully peeled the card's aesthetic finery and worked out way down to the GPU, we found that NVIDIA is using a liquid-metal thermal interface material (TIM) between the "GB202" GPU and the unified vapor chamber plate of the Double Flow Through cooling solution. After our photography the problem arose of putting the card back together, and we wondered if using a mainstream thermal paste would be a suitable replacement since we didn't have the patience to toy with liquid metal given our review volume. So we pulled out our trusty tube of Arctic MX6, gave it a suitable application, skipped the gasket, and put the card back together.

Here's what we found—the GPU temperatures rise by about 2°C on average over the stock liquid metal TIM. In the graph below, you will see both TIM applications compete with each other over a 370-second stress from a benchmark run. In the chart the start temperatures are slightly different, this does not mean that idle temperatures are higher with liquid metal. At the end of test the maximum temperature reached with the stock liquid metal TIM is around 77.6°C. The Arctic MX6, on the other hand settles to 79.4°C. This +1.8°C temperature increase really isn't significant at all—room temperature changes between summer and winter will cause bigger swings. We also tested performance, and it was spot on, the same as pre-disassembly—not a hint of thermal throttling. Both values are safely below the 90°C thermal threshold for the RTX 5090—that's right, NVIDIA raised the thermal throttle point, it's not 83°C anymore like on the RTX 40-series Ada. Taking the RTX 5090 apart and putting it back together was a challenging experience, but we're glad we didn't have to do a liquid metal application to ensure trouble-free operation. This is good news for all DIYers—don't bother with replacing the liquid metal—a thin thermal paste application works fine, too.

ARCTIC is expanding its range of fans for servers and workstations. In addition to the 40 mm and 80 mm models, two powerful 120 mm versions with different speed ranges are now also available. The S12038 fans offer an excellent combination of cooling performance, durability and energy efficiency. The importance of energy efficiency in data centers is growing worldwide and increasingly becoming the focus of legislators. Since this year, operators have had to publish their energy consumption. In the future, guidelines for sustainability and energy efficiency are also expected. The use of the S12038 server fans helps to reduce energy consumption.

Exceptionally energy-efficient thanks to motor optimization. For the same performance, the S12038-8K consumes 22 % less than the next best competitor, improving the energy efficiency of the server. The new 120 mm fans are available in two versions: the 4K version with 600 to 4000 rpm and the 8K version with 800 to 8000 rpm. This wide range - optionally PWM or voltage-controlled - makes it possible to adapt the fans to the specific requirements of different server and workstation setups. With their high static pressure and powerful airflow, they are the ideal all-rounders for demanding server environments and are suitable for use as both radiator and rack fans for server cases from 3U.

Intel will soon be releasing the new Arrow Lake processors on the LGA1851 socket. ARCTIC customers do not need to worry about incompatibility. All LGA1700 compatible ARCTIC coolers can be used without restriction for Intel's new LGA1851 socket. According to current information, the mechanical dimensions remain unchanged. Regardless, ARCTIC has assured customers since last year that all coolers purchased from October 23 onwards will support the new socket. ARCTIC customers can therefore switch to the new system without any worries and can always rely on the highest performance and maximum service.

For its 23rd anniversary, ARCTIC planned and implemented to give something back to its customers and offered selected products at an attractive price. Unfortunately, a pricing error had occurred on an existing promotion. To rectify the issue, ARCTIC refunds Amazon customers and extends the anniversary deals. "It's very important to us that everyone benefits equally from our Thank You campaign. We sincerely apologise for this mistake and will do everything to make amends. Our customers and their trust in us are of utmost importance to ARCTIC," said Magnus Huber, CEO.

After the announcement of the new water cooler series, ARCTIC is now announcing the next product highlights - this time in the area of air cooling. For its 23rd anniversary, the manufacturer is still in a celebratory mood and is also bringing the Freezer 36 onto the market at special prices. With significantly increased performance and simplified assembly, the Freezer 36 not only outperforms its predecessor models but also holds its own against the competition.

Even more efficient ventilation is achieved thanks to the optimized heat sink with side-flow design. Two of ARCTIC's proven P-fans, known for their performance, are used in push-pull-configuration. The innovative click-fastening system enables quick and easy installation and fan replacement. For the upcoming LGA1851 and LGA1700 installation, the Freezer 36 uses a special contact frame that distributes the contact pressure evenly. This minimizes the mechanical stress on the CPU and motherboard and increases cooling performance.

Since its launch, the Liquid Freezer has won countless awards. The new Premium Liquid Freezer III series starts with particularly affordable prices as part of the big 2024 birthday campaign. With the third generation of the award-winning all-in-one water-cooling series, ARCTIC has once again taken function and design to a new level. Developed for high cooling performance, the Liquid Freezer III boasts further developments of distinctive features such as a more efficient cold plate, an enlarged VRM fan and more radiator surface area for heat dissipation.

Another new feature is the possibility of individual control options: via different connection cables, the pump, VRM fan and radiator fan can be controlled and monitored All-in-One as with the Liquid Freezer II - but also independently of each other. Installation requires just a few simple steps, thanks to integrated cable management, only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard. Available in four sizes and three versions, the Liquid Freezer III offers the ideal combination of performance, technology and design for everyone.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the Liquid Freezer III is now live]

Arctic is giving finishing touches to its new Liquid Freezer III all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. Designed almost entirely in-house by Arctic, the cooler features a few unique design improvements over its predecessor, the Liquid Freezer II series. To begin with, the pump-block features a unique design resembling an aircraft turbofan engine intake. In the previous generations of Liquid Freezer, the VRM area ventilation fan appeared suspended on top of the pump-block, like it's a secondary fixture. Here, the fan is located inside top vent of the pump-block, and guides all its airflow laterally, providing some airflow to your CPU VRM and memory areas. The pump is located adjacent to this fan.

There are three color trims with four size variants, each. The color trims include White + ARGB, Black + ARGB, and Black sans lighting. In the White + ARGB and Black + ARGB variants, the lighting includes an addressable RGB LED element on the pump-block, with the fan vent serving as an LED diffuser; and each of the included fan having lighting of its own. Size variants for each of the three trims include 240 (240 mm x 120 mm); 280 (280 mm x 140 mm); 360 (360 mm x 120 mm); and 420 (420 mm x 140 mm). Arctic has made improvements to the radiator design, to extend its finnage (heat dissipation surfare area) to the edges of the frame. We'll learn more detailed specs such as the cooling performance and fan specs, as we head closer to product launch.The leaked teaser trailer for the Arctic Liquid Freezer III follows.

ARCTIC is expanding its range of server fans with two new models. Following the launch of the S4028 last year, ARCTIC is once again bringing its cooling expertise to the server market with the new S8038-7K and S8038-10K fans.

Efficient, reliable, durable and quiet - the demands on server cooling are high. ARCTIC's new S8038 80 mm fans are optimized for precisely these requirements. Equipped with an actively cooled motor, not only is the service life increased by up to 50 %, energy consumption is also reduced. The double ball bearing guarantees smooth continuous operation and resists external influences such as heat and dust.

Yesterday AMD released the new Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX series for socket sTR5. With the Freezer 4U-M, ARCTIC provides a strong cooling solution for the power-hungry CPUs with up to 96 cores, 5,35 GHz and 350 Watt TDP. With the new generation of workstation processors also known as Storm Peak, AMD offers a significant performance boost compared to the previous series. The ARCTIC Freezer 4U-M was specifically tested by AMD for these high-performance CPUs and met the specified performance values with plenty of margin.

To enable maximum airflow, the single-tower cooler with push-pull fan setup is specifically optimized for the east-west socket orientation (back-exhaust setup) of most Threadripper and EPYC boards and, unlike other cooler manufacturers, offers direct airflow in desktop - and server cases. The Freezer 4U-M is also compatible with AMD's SP6, SP3, TR4, sTRX4 and sWRX8, as well as Intel's LGA4189 and LGA4677 sockets.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, releases a multi-compatible server cooler for 4U server racks. The Freezer 4U-M is the successor of the established Freezer 4U SP3. It is a versatile server cooler with a push-pull fan setup, a large contact area and an improved mounting system. Thanks to its compatibility with Intel's LGA4189 and LGA4677 as well as AMD's SP6, sTR5, SP3, TR4, sTRX4 and sWRX8 sockets, it is suitable for a wide range of Intel and AMD server processors.

Even with its particularly high cooling performance, it consumes only 2.88 watts, underlining its remarkable energy efficiency even when cooling powerful processors with up to 64 cores and a TDP of up to 350 watts. With a generous 53 mm of RAM clearance, the Freezer 4U-M allows the use of memory modules with larger heatsinks. This clearance allows efficient air circulation and ensures compatibility with a wide range of RAM variants.

ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, extends the P-fan series with the P8 Max, a new high-performance fan. In contrast to the conventional P8 PWM, the P8 Max has a significantly increased speed with revolutions from 500 to 5000 rpm, which makes it ARCTIC's most powerful 80 mm fan. In addition, the P8 Max can be throttled down to standstill if no load is needed.

The P8 Max impresses with its extraordinary performance efficiency. At a speed of 3000 rpm, it consumes only 0.06 amps. In comparison, similar fans like the P8 require more than double at the same speed with 0.14 amps. Thanks to its significant static pressure, which is particularly effective for heatsinks, radiators, pinholes and tightly packed cases, as well as its high efficiency, this fan is ideally suited for use in server cases such as 2U racks.
