Hi and welcome back to ThisBytesForYou, today we're going to be doing
an unboxing and an overview of the Arctic Freezer 2 420. This incredibly odd shaped box holds a 420
millimeter radiator again, the Arctic Freezer II 420. This thing is tremendous it's not slight
of hand or camera trick it is huge and the box is very awkward but anyway come over here real quick,
I'll talk you through it as I'm doing the unboxing and then coming up very soon, The Sinatra build
will feature this very Liquid Cooling Unit so come over here real quick let's get started.
All right so here she is again the Arctic Freezer II 420, again a very oddly shaped box you can see
the massive radiator here the fans and the pump doesn't do it justice just how big this is look
at Freezer 2 420 Multi-Compatible All-In-One CPU Water Cooler including a little packet of MX4
seriously incredibly little now it says a two year warranty but i could have sworn it was a six year
warranty I'll go ahead and list it down below just to make sure I don't want to miss quote but
on the side over here we go over in different languages the features and specs and everything
specifications here fans general radiator all that good stuff right there along the back kind of some
marketing of everything it does the box contents performance comparisons all that good stuff here
and then on the ramp just arctic arctic.de nothing much over here so let's open it up real quick.
Oh okay so it opens up like that and I'm kind of afraid as to which way
it's going to unfold. Okay so it doesn't come out like, Okay so you gotta open it I'm gonna twist it
And pull it out like this just so you get a better idea.
Okay so comes out like this,
Okay nothing else in here so I'm gonna put this big box down on the ground.
Okay odd and I didn't think I'd need a knife so just gonna rip this tape off.
Okay
So that you get a gauge on how huge this is
This is 18 inches long that is tremendous.
The tubes right over here along with the pump it I'm going to skip that just for right now just
moving things out of the way let's see what comes in this oddly shaped accessories box
like you you have to imagine if it wasn't a triangle ramp thing it'd be a tremendous box
all on its own so they made it smaller but just awkward so liquid freezer 2 420 the QR Code here
okay and then user manual and then nothing along the back i just adjusted the brightness
and then thank you for choosing arctic registration stuff here.
Definitely register your products and then over here we have I'll go over this towards the end but
this is compatible with Intel sockets 1200, 115x, 2011-3, 2066 and a square ILM and for AMD Socket
AM4. All right, and again I'm going to save this one for last I'll keep it in this weird box right
over here. Hopefully it doesn't get in the way and then we have, I'm going to put this on the ground.
All right, so these tremendous fans you can see right over here.
And then the radiator.
Tremendous as well with the arctic right over here.
Now the radiator is 458 millimeters by 138 millimeters
and 38 millimeters in length and width and height all that good stuff. The tubes coming down here
to the pump is 455 millimeters. Okay and then we can see down here the pump,
nothing's really changed at least from looking at it, maybe a little tiny bit uh between the 280 and
the 360 I've reviewed previously still looks nice, still it is awkward looking but it does look nice.
Along the side, Arctic here then the VRM little fan right over here, the VRM
fan is a 40 millimeter fan. Then over here we can see the fins, so air coming in here
radiating out through here and the sides trying to keep the VRM's and anything nearby nice and cool.
Then along the bottom, we can see the cold plate, I'll keep this on there for now but just remember
during the installation, and you'll see me do it, when you install just remove that before you
install it. Liquid freezer II 420 Silk screened on there, DC12 volt, 0.60 amps and then we have...
The four pin fan header right here, now the pump will range anywhere from 800 to 2000 RPMs,
it is PWM controlled, configured in your bios with this guy here and the pump will consume
between 5 watts and 7 watts including the VRM fan. The cold plate is copper with micro skived fins.
Now the fan speeds on these guys ranges anywhere between 200 and 1700 rpms, again all going through
PWM since it is one single connection, all of these fans connect to each other as you can see.
Right here, they all connect to each other so you don't need three separate, three or four separate
fan headers. You don't need anything special, everything is right here so that's pretty awesome
of arctic to do that. Now these are 140 millimeter fans, to be exact the Arctic P14 PWM fans,
three of them obviously, containing fluid dynamic bearings, as loud as up to 3 sone,
pretty impressive and up to 72 CFM and 8 CFM for this guy down here, the VRM fan
and a static pressure of 4 millimeters h2o. Now the entire package weighs 1977
grams. So it's not incredibly heavy for what it is and of course not incredibly light.
Now putting this aside we'll go over everything in the packet here. All right.
Ahhh,
I see one thing i love already.
Okay so first off, wherever you're going to need to screw anything here
or here into these little spacers or these risers or standoffs i should, say you're going to want to
put this in between that and the motherboard that way just in case you screw in too tight
you don't scratch anything or when you go to remove it obviously don't screw in too tight you
don't want to crack it but this is just to protect it just in case. Okay so starting off, these two
right here that have this little standoff here these are the AMD socket AM4 mounting clips.
And these are the mounting clips for everything else
This is a back plate for the intel socket 1200 and 115x so, everything 115...
Now this is the part that I said I loved, already they didn't include a little packet
that you got to, you know push out, that's really annoying. They included a little tiny tube,
now it may include the same amount as that little packet, but the fact that they have
this, that you can just you know pop on to put a little P sized right in the center of the CPU,
I think this is awesome, thank you Arctic. Oddly enough in the manual they show the
little packet instead of the little tube, so don't be surprised if you receive a packet,
they might have run out of packets and included this instead. Now coming over here,
and I'm going to throw everything in here as we're doing this so we don't lose anything.
Okay so separating this out real quick all right so starting off here they include four thumbnails.
And then right down here, they include four Intel Socket 2066 and 2011 standoffs, over here, we have
four Intel Socket 1200 and 115x standoffs and then 12 screws right over here for the radiator.
They might look a little bit smaller than they should be but you can see that right over here.
All right and now opening up this packet.
Okay so then right over here starting off we have four AMD socket AM4 screws.
And then four AMD socket AM4 spacers.
Now in this little packet which thankfully
You can, is resealable,
let me sort this out real quick. Here we have 12 screws for the fans to connect to your case.
Two screws down here for the mounting clip, then we have 12 flat washers right over here.
Now I don't particularly see in the manual what these are
for, but that's okay we'll go through the installation if we need it
as well as these four over here these little teeny tiny screws but if needed
we'll figure it out during the installation. So there are so many uses for the box alone,
Arctic did an amazing job in the packaging saving money because if not it would have been
big, so saving you money good stuff. Arctic, so they may have been the creators of the Pyramids,
if not they could have been the creators of a ramp for Evil Knievel, who knows but anyway
Arctic so far, looks like they did an amazing job with the 420. It is tremendous, it's nice looking
and if it's anything like the 280 or the 360 it's definitely going to be amazing. It's tremendous
so it's definitely going to be able to cool a ton, mind you you need to have a case that will fit it.
If you saw the unboxing of the corsair case i just did, that'll definitely take it. So
stay tuned for the entire build coming up soon, Iggy with ThisBytesForYou out, see you
guys
