And the sticker of the pump is crooked pasted and as if it was re-glued? Could this be new from the store? And the pump can hiss like a soluble tablet in water if it is above the radiator? Thank you.
Hi ~Oia~, welcome to my channel, I dont quite understand your question for the first part. as for the pump, if it's above the radiator hose, it will generate noise and it's not advisable to place it this way, ideally is to place hose blow the pump or to mount the entire rad at the top of the case.
@@KleoYan Well, what I mean is, can a new system be threaded on the heatsink from the factory? Or does this mean that someone has already screwed the screws into the free side of the heatsink? It’s just that I already have threads for screws on the radiator and the pump sticker was crooked. But the bags with the mount are not touched. Can it be so? Never dealt with Arctic before. And I know that the pump should not be higher than the radiator, it’s just that the sound is usually different, more gurgling, but here it’s hissing like a soluble aspirin tablet, is it the same with you?
@@Ftroll hi, ok by default for AMD 7000 series platform (AM5) it comes with the offset bracket where you need to remove the original mounting from the motherboard and to replace it with the provided Arctic offset bracket and as for Gen 12th and Gen 13th Intel platform, if your Arctic Liquid Freezer II is of rev 4 and above, it will come with the intel 1700 bracket. as for logo being crooked, most of my LF2 360, 280 and 420, they are all nicely stick. if you need more info about your cooler you can either scan the QR code on the box itself of there is a small card that shows you the QRCode. or you can refer to this support.arctic.de/cpu_liquid_coolers

Hi Ben T, there are food and bad on both. For custom water looping, the strength is still having better thermal results. Only inconvenience are 1) have to clean it like after 6 months to 8 months 2) it’s more expensive 3) if any component need troubleshooting. You have to drain the loop. As for AIOs 1) they have a limited lifespan 2) hose are clunky and sometimes will have a hard time fitting into a case 3) some of the pump is rather noisy after sometime of usage. So don’t feel bad about it. Maybe next time you can go easy by getting the Arctic liquid freezer II which till now. It can still take the beating of a amd 7000 series.

@@KleoYan You raise there some very good points, most them which I gave considerations to before going with a custom loop.

Bykski 3x 360mm radiators, Bykski pump/res combo, Barrow fittings etc etc... It's just now I have so much spare type of fittings and tube cutters and watercooling stuff related, looks like I'm running a workshop!

I even use their P12 fans on all 3 radiators in this build.

@@TheAmanor123 good to hear that your LF2 AIO is with the QC sticker. as for temperature, it greatly depends on which region you at, to have temperature at 75 Degrees celcius at load, it's all good.
Hello GrTitan n, welcome to my channel. Nope I do not have a 120 LF2. Therefore can’t test it. Infact I won’t advise to use a 120. Is best to use in 7700x to 7950x is with a 280, 360 or even a 420. Unless you are referring to 7600x then a 240 will be sufficient.
@@KleoYan hmm, the case that i have only supports 120" sized AIO and i am really curious. Then again, Artic says that the 130 has a limit of 200e and that's around what your video shows, so that do makes me curious.
@@grtitann7425 hi, as what I have suggested is based on my own opinion. I have a practice of giving more buffer which will not jeopardise the longevity of the processor. You can give it a try and if you find that the 120 LF2 is unable to do the job, then you might consider to get a bigger LF2. Next to sell off the 120 LF2 to cover some cost for your bigger LF2.
@@grtitann7425 well, no harm trying, just make sure to keep an eye on your other components temperature. If it’s significantly high and the cpu clock speed is lesser than 4.8ghz. Then you really have not choice but to get a bigger AIO.
@@hanmaruf2919 hhaah.. I can't do AIO testing in winter season. In Singapore we are located near the equaltor, thats why it's always summer which is between 30 degrees to 33 degrees max.

Hey bro, if i purchased it this week for my new r7 7700, will I need the service kit...? Or have they fixed it since then
HI WTFGAFS, welcome to my channel. It will be best to look for the QC Sticker on your radiator or on the box itself. If you do not have that sticker, request the service kit from Arctic www.arctic.de/en/lf-service-kit
@@KleoYan Hey man i built it yesterday and it had a sticker on the box and radiotor so think im safe :) Thanks. Also wanted to know what kind of temps would you expect on the ryzen 7 7700. I see people commenting they got their temps in the 50s with their i7 and i9 lmao... Mine does 50 to 75 depending on the game. Did I seat it incorrectly ?
@@TheAmanor123 good to hear that your LF2 AIO is with the QC sticker. as for temperature, it greatly depends on which region you at, to have temperature at 75 Degrees celcius at load, it's all good.
nice one ^^
Hi Sza, welcome to my channel and thank you for your valuable feedback.
Do you have an Artic Freezer II 120 to test with a Ryzen 7000?
Hello GrTitan n, welcome to my channel. Nope I do not have a 120 LF2. Therefore can’t test it. Infact I won’t advise to use a 120. Is best to use in 7700x to 7950x is with a 280, 360 or even a 420. Unless you are referring to 7600x then a 240 will be sufficient.
@@KleoYan hmm, the case that i have only supports 120" sized AIO and i am really curious. Then again, Artic says that the 130 has a limit of 200e and that's around what your video shows, so that do makes me curious.
@@grtitann7425 hi, as what I have suggested is based on my own opinion. I have a practice of giving more buffer which will not jeopardise the longevity of the processor. You can give it a try and if you find that the 120 LF2 is unable to do the job, then you might consider to get a bigger LF2. Next to sell off the 120 LF2 to cover some cost for your bigger LF2.
@@KleoYan yeah, if the test fails, i won't have any choice but to buy a bigger one 😀
@@grtitann7425 well, no harm trying, just make sure to keep an eye on your other components temperature. If it’s significantly high and the cpu clock speed is lesser than 4.8ghz. Then you really have not choice but to get a bigger AIO.
nice one.....
Hi Ya Han Maruf, welcome to my channel. thank you for your feedback too 😉
@@KleoYan cant wait duel aio winter season 2022
@@hanmaruf2919 hhaah.. I can't do AIO testing in winter season. In Singapore we are located near the equaltor, thats why it's always summer which is between 30 degrees to 33 degrees max. During raining season, it will be at 28 to 31. is always humid too. thats why I can't hit above 5.2G with such weather here as compared to North/South America, including Europe contries too. so ya. will try my best but need time to test it out.
@@KleoYan maybe next time then..ill wait... :P
@@hanmaruf2919 thanks buddy.. 👍
