Well gents my EVGA CLC 360 was nearing 5 years old and my 13900k was putting the beatdown on it so I took a good look around for a replacement. I ended up getting the ARCTIC liquid freezer III 420 argb but I also got an additional 3 P14 fans and put it into push pull for max cooling. This thing is massive compared to the evga unit but my case can hold at least 6 of them LOL. I had to remove my motherboard to get to the mounting bracket because my motherboard tray has a hdd tray on its underside that prevents me from accessing it and as luck would have it the screws face away from the side of my case towards a fixed partition.
I also learned that the pump must be mounted with the hoses facing towards the pcie slot, no instructions from ARCTIC on this at all. They included mx-6 in the kit but I have some so I'll save that tube for later. The one thing I do like about their fans is that all I had to do was break into their wiring chain and add my 3 extra fans to the power and argb and since theirs tucks into the coolant tubes it gives a much cleaner look than what I had. I'm hoping that this lasts me a good long time.
