I got the case, partly after watching the video. But, it doesn't fit. On the top, the IO shield part of the case blocks it from screwing it in. Are you not screwing the last 2-4 screws? Also, hits the fan bracket on the other side. You said you are not setting it all the way in. I had to revert to install on the front. To install it on the front also, I have to remove the disk caddy platform at the bottom. However, the arctic cables are very short. Front bracket has lips so it will only go one way. Either have to use RGB extension cable or not use RGB. Anyway lose all capacity for hard disk installation. If the case was a little taller or a little wider, it would have fit easily. I don't think this case should be advertised as supporting 420mm AIOs.
Hello Mark, welcome to my channel. hmm.. the I/O Shield I did tuck those cables nicely and had no issues with it and if you are talking about the 420 AIO radiator screws that has total of 12 screws, they are all in without issues. Do you mean when you screw in the rad at the top, the screw holes alignment is out? As for Hard disk as I see it. you should be able to mount it unless your PSU is way beyond 180mm in lenght?
@@KleoYan When I was trying to put the rad on top, the IO shield section of the case would hit the radiator part and not allow me line up the last 4 screw holes. We must have slightly different case or AIO.
@@KleoYan Regarding the hard disks, I had to remove the bottom tray that holds the hard disk mounts (as you did in the video) to install the AIO on front. One of the screws was under the foot and I did a bad job removing the adhesive to get the screw to remove the foot. On lancool 2, I use the hot swap feature and the ease of opening the lower tray to slide in a hard disk was so convenient.
@@marka5968 yup, this I do agree. I had sometime to look at it and one of the screws is just below it .. as for Lancool II it's simple, this was my lancool II original ruclips.net/video/IAeqLdRo2ec/видео.html
I was able to fit in the stock 140mm rear fan with screws, although it is a very tight squeeze against the third radiator fan. But the fan blades are not impeded from spinning so I count it as a success

They must’ve released a new version of the case. The IO shield is preventing me from getting it all the way in. There’s a rivet I had to pull the case out to get the rad in that is holding the left side up now so I think we’re good but dang….

Hmm this is strange as I’ve done another build with the same case for a friend and it fit exactly of what I’ve done in this vid but nevertheless thank you for your feedback, will check with Lian Li if there are any changes in manufacturing this case. Thanks again.
I put a 420 freezer in my Lancool 3, but for some reason the right side window does not close well, namely the upper part of the door does not normally magnet, I can not understand why

Hi ya, welcome back. Yup, the AIO 420 is super big. I will be letting it run for awhile and to do a thermal test on my next video. By the way, thank you for the compliment too 🤩
@@ДаниилЧепурко-в5я Hi welcome to my channel, if you are referring to this 420 Liquid AIO, not possible, you can't close the front pannel as the radiator is too tick. even if you fit inside the fan tray which is offset. plus you cant close the tray back in place as the radiator hose is blocking. the only way to mount your Radiator is inside the case at the front. I do not advise to mount it at the front as you will have lots of obstacle, but you can give it a try. just because when you do that as you might scratch the radiator due to the huge size.
Hi DANIELS FAMILY, welcome to my channel and thank you for your valuable feedback. This might interest you too, which is the fan position of this setup. ruclips.net/video/1SPioF78x_E/видео.htmlsi=W5nLRICYzlh9rJbb
Hello! Can You help me please? I have LIAN Li Lancool III RGB PC case, and i have Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420. But my motherboard Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero. (VRM and I/O Zone 45mm high) You say 45mm no problem. My Question: Will it fit? 😳😶🤔 Please help me Mr! THANK YOU!
Hello Attila Horvath, welcome to my channel. I mentioned in this video from the stand-off of the case to your motherboard is 45mm tall. If your motherboard itself is 45mm tall, I am sorry to say you don’t have clearance to mount it.
I have a question. On 12:10 you say there are 40mm clearance from the motherboard to the radiator fan. At 12:31 you say there are 45mm clearance. Please can you clarify what is right? Maybe i don't understand because of my bad english.
Hi Andi316, welcome to my channel. To clarify, if your motherboard, the top of the Rear I/O to bottom of your motherboard, so long it's at 40mm tall,, you are safe to place the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 at the top. As why i've mentioned 45mm tall, that's the overall height which include the 5mm gap or space between the motherboard and the case (The motherboard stand off height) Hope this will clear your doubts. Thank you for visiting and all the best with your build.
@@Andi-sm5ix I would say measure the motherboard, just make sure it's within 40mm tall, anything above 40mm, you wont be able to fit this 420 Arctic Liquid AIO. also please note, for the front, you have to mount it this way imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS as I have miss out showing how the front fans should be mounted.
@Kleo Yan AWESOME! You're the only one reviewer who gives information about the length between motherboard VRM heatsink (including IO SHIELD & RAM) and arctic radiator. This review is an absolute problem solving for arctic LF II installation. Searching for this for fuckin 3 hours and finally found ur video, Thank you so much! Im planning to use LF II 360mm instead, would be ok for the rear fan to use normal Arctic P12?
Hello Gerardo, welcome to my channel. yes you can fit either a 120mm or even a 140mm fan at the rear if you are using the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 AIO. by the way, I have done the Thermal test wich you might be interested ruclips.net/video/1SPioF78x_E/видео.html . Just one side note. I am not a reviewer, more of a end user like yourself. I am just sharing my experience as a end user stand point and thank you to have visited my channel. All the very best with your build 😉👍
THANKS TO YOU I also installed the ALF3ARGB-AIO instead of sending it back, it's great how mega tight it all fits :). My rear fan is not connected yet and the upper headers of my X870e A E Wifi7 are occupied by the AIO, to connect the rear fan cleanly to the SYS_FAN at the bottom of the board the cable is too short, I don't want to pull it ugly through the middle of the case. Do you know if there is a free Y-connector from the AIO or Lancool plugs that I can use for the rear fan?
Hi C, welcome back. is your LF3 a 360? if it is, the additional rear fan which you've bought (Arctic P12 ARGB), the fan has a daisy chained cable. What you need to do is to unplug the Radiator last fan which is towards the rear, plug that to the rear fan, and on the rear fan, plug that to the radiator cable. hope that make sense.
If you do that thermal test, I would actually also very much like to see the results of switching the rear exhaust to rear intake instead. As in, just flipping the 120mm fan. My guess is the top AIO fan furthest to the rear will pull in outside air from the back of the case anyway if the rear 120mm exhaust fan is removed. It might very well affect GPU temps too, but I am really unsure in which direction. I guess that also partly depends on the GPU orientation (horizontal vs vertical) and if its the one you have in the video, or one of the founder edition blower style GPUs.
Hello Thomas, welcome back. ok will do but will have to wait though. nevertheless will do some testing and to up with the next video. Thank you for the suggestion.
thanks to your video, I also bought a 420 Artik, but version 3, unfortunately, despite the same dimensions of the second and third versions, I cannot close the front fans, and when I slide the coolers to the very end of the housing, there is no hole to attach the coolers to the housing, as you did, by screwing the coolers on original holes in the housing?
@@getfrags for the radiator at the top. I screw those 12screws abit at a time. Anchor all screws to the thread holes before tightening it. There are some misalignment as the rad screw holes are not inline, so what I did is to use a long screwdriver that is thin enough to wiggle the holes in place with the top fan tray. So slowly and gently anchor all 12 points before tightening it.
@@getfrags I have swap out Lian li fans with Arctic P14 ARGB at the front. That’s the only thing not original and the front tray as I have shown you. That’s how I close the front tray.
This case and Fractal Meshify 2 RGB, are NOT OK for the super bulky Arctic 420. Yes it can fit, but with a lot of compromise, like removing a fan from the fractal case, or touching the case fans in Lancool 3...even if you are ok whit that, you still have to mind the hight of the RAM and MB heatsink. There a lots of "if" and "or" so I give up from 420mm and went for Freezer 360mm - it is absolutely perfect for Ryzen 7950x, there is no thermaltroteling even on long hours multicore task (like rendering)....Also the radiator of 360 model is 400mm long and the about 450mm for the 420 model. Mind that before bye it
Hi achi ramoto, welcome to my channel and thank you for your insight about the 420 AIO in those chassis. yes it does have compromises, infact a 280 AIO will also do the trick, so long you know how to set PBO2.
420mm works just fine in this case. It helps to remove the front IO panel and the entire front fan bracket for initial fitting. I definitely would not recommend a case any smaller than this for a 420 though
@mattafaak no , it doesn't work fine at all ...not in Meshify 2 RGB - you can't remove the front fans in this case, cause they are in bracket part of the case. Even if you remove it somehow, it's defiantly not "working just fine". I can say this for the non RGB Meshify 2....Also 420mm is pointless for AMD processor
hi Grzegorz ProfiStudio, welcome to my channel and I forget to mention in this video, I have to mount the font fan this way and to flip the tray. imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS

I'm sorry to bother you after 1 year, but your video is one of the few sources of information on this topic. I have several questions regarding video: 1. Is your RAM 55mm tall? 2. Do you think ADATA Lancer Blade RGB DDDR5 will fit? (especially length-wise, since you pointed out there is only 0,5mm gap) 3. Will MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi fit since it is about 35mm high on the heatsink at I/O? 4. Will stock 140mm front fans fit? I noticed you swapped them out for Arctic fans. 5. I'm trying to mount LFIII 420mm on top of the case, is LFIII the same as LFII in terms of fitting it in Lian Li Lancool III? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi zapasowy mail, welcome to my channel. I will answer your questions as follow. 1. Is your RAM 55mm tall? The Dominator rams are at 55mm in height. 2. Do you think ADATA Lancer Blade RGB DDDR5 will fit? (especially length-wise, since you pointed out there is only 0,5mm gap) The length of rams are of standard length and as I’ve checked. Your rams height and the Dominators are of the same height and straight at the side, you should not worry about it.. it will fit 3. Will MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi fit since it is about 35mm high on the heatsink at I/O? With the rear I/O and Side VRM Heatsink which is at height 35mm, it will fit. 4. Will stock 140mm front fans fit? I noticed you swapped them out for Arctic fans. For the front, you will need to do this imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS inorder to close the front cover. Be it using default or the P14 ARGB Fans. 5. I'm trying to mount LFIII 420mm on top of the case, is LFIII the same as LFII in terms of fitting it in Lian Li Lancool III? Yes, both LF2 and LF3 have the same measurements.
Thanks for this video, I had so many headache to choose the right case for the Freezer II, now I can build something like this, but on Intel by myself. Great help! Big like!
Hi Balazs, welcome to my channel and thank you for visiting. Kindly take note that I miss out on how the front fans should be mounted. This is for your reference and the only way to have the front fan mounted and to close the front fan tray imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Question? I want to replace the fans with Phanteks T30, do I connect each fan to the splitter or daisy chain the fans and run a single cable to the splitter? Or does it even matter?
Hi Haies 09, welcome to my channel, kindly check your motherboard fan header load limit. if the header is of 2a then you are ok to daisy chain 3 x T30 fans to that header. if it's 1a, it's advisable to get a fan power hub and not a splitter.
hello paczu91, welcome to my channel. I believe you meant the rubber studs to hold the rear fan. www.amazon.com/AUEAR-Silicone-Reducing-Vibration-Mouting/dp/B08KGWTDHK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=38WF1Q0C1LHPB&keywords=fan+rubber+screws&qid=1683428528&sprefix=fan+rubber+screw%2Caps%2C312&sr=8-4
Hi, I bought the h170i and lian li iii, and now I'm trying to install them, but I couldn't. Is it possible to install them? Or is the cooler bigger than the case?
Hi Mjood Zx, welcome to my channel. I have no idea will it fit or not and the site is down, I am not able to view the specs. Mayne you can measure the length of the Radiator. the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 Radiator is having a lenght of 458mm. It fit just right, if you are not able to mount at the top. mount at the front, which I believe it can be done as I dont think the Corsair 420 H170i has a thick radiator like Arctic. which is at 38mm thick.
@KleoYan So the i/o panel on the X570 is 38mm? The I/O panel on my B650 is 50mm (same height as the MOSFET heatsink). Maybe a change in the B650 series? A fail safe check is if you have a tall I/O panel like I have, and you consider the thickness of the AFii 420, the radiator is 38mm and the fans are 27mm, you would need a space of at least 65mm between the top of the case (if top mounted) to the I/O ports. My current case (Shadow Base 800) only has 60mm clearance here, so it fowls on the I/O panel.
@@mildmethod Hi welcome back. I will avoid using the 420 LF2 if I know that the space is only at 60mm. infact the default height of the P14 or P14 ARGB is at 25mm thick + the radiator at 38mm, total thickness is at 63mm, unless you change to taller or thicker 140mm fans.
Hi @@DavidRegaL-lw5xz the Arctic Freezer II 420 does not fit the be quiet! Shadow Base 800. I learnt the hard way and bought the case and AIO, so I know first hand.
Hi Lucas Guilherme, welcome to my channel. That was in the past and the vertical mount I am using might be hard to find. It’s the Lancool II GPU vertical mount and it’s a gen3 riser cable which I change it out with Gen4 riser cable. I would advice you to get the Lian li universal 4 slot GPU mount.

Hi Scratch Keith, welcome to my channel. I am using the Lian Li Lancool II GPU vertical mounting kit but have changed the riser cable from 3.0 to 4.0. You can also get the Lian Li universal GPU mounting kit which allows 3 slot card.
Hi Alan Paschoal, welcome to my channel. Personally have tested it once. It’s not advisable. The copper will degrade fast and causes the material will lose its ability to absorb heat. Also Liquid Metal drys up fast. You need to regularly reapplication.

@@KleoYan Thank you for the response. I see that you have 10 fans in your build, but the ARGB hub you linked only has 8 ports. Did you use a splitter to connect the rest, and did it come with splitter?
@@itsjustme77 the case itself have the argb controller. I have plug the front fan to the case argb controller. Set to by pass mode on the case argb controller and connect the case argb connector which suppose to go to the motherboard, but I plug that to one of the 8port argb hub. So my 8port argb hub left 7 connection point. Which is why it total up to 10 fans, which are controllable.

@@KleoYan Thank you for your reply and your support! I subscribed to your channel :) Since the ALF II 360 has a smaller radiator area, do you think it should fit? And, maybe this is a stupid question, but.... at 12:24 you mention a 40mm clearance (420/280) and at 12:32 a 45mm clearance. Can you explain why?
@@P4th0g3n_ hi, ok.. I think I confuse you.. now as why I say 45mm because. the actual clearance height limit of your motherboard rear I/0 and side VRM have to be at 40mm. as the 5mm is the space between your motherboard to the case.. there is a 5mm gap. you can ignore the 45mm, just note that any motherboard rear I/0 and side VRM are above 40mm. you can't fit the 420 Arctic Liquid freezer II. For 360mm, you will have no issues as the clearance is 60mm so your board will fit nicely.
Hi TheTshadow999 Animates, welcome to my channel. Thank you to share info with us. By the way, how was your experience when using it on a 7000D? care to share if there are any difficulties and what do you like about the case? Thank you!
@@KleoYan It’s been pretty great so far, but when taking off parts of the case, e.g. dust filters, HDD bays, etc., I’d have to pull oddly hard, it’s all stiff. Other than that I really like the clearance it gives me for everything, lots of room for cable management. Once I got the HDD bay out of the way, I was able to put in the AIO in a push/pull configuration and still have clearance from my Gigabyte 4080, which is huge.

@KleoYan no, 15 inches in height that's how tall the VRM is apparently. Although i think I'd have better luck putting it in the front since it offers a max space of 100mm
@@darknova9298 hmm.. ok, so sorry am not use to inch, but after translating on google from inch to mm .. it translate as 381mm on your VRM Heatsink, you should have enough clearance. As illustrated here , the X570 Tachi has a height of 40mm which is 15.4 inch. I am able to fit the 420 at the top. Do note the rear fans you can only mount a 120mm fan and with rubber fan studs. You can't use the metal fan screws. If you feel not comfortable, a 360 LF2 or LF3 will definitely fit at the top.
Hello bobjimmy, welcome to my channel, you should be fine and please take note that the front fans you need to orientate it this way. imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Could you please do a step-by-step tutorial on how to install the 420 radiator, what screws to use, how can I reassemble the front with its 3 140mm fans. I'm a bit lost, please help.
Hi Aldray Javier, welcome back. So sorry, I can’t do that as the case no longer with me. What you need to do is to remove all the fans from the radiator. Holding the radiator, tilt it diagonally and slowly insert the radiator in and align it back straight to the top. Now as for the front fans. I did it this way. imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Rear p12 slim arctic fan (15mm thick) with 420mm arctic aio and 3x stock 140mm fans on front. Would it fit without using the rubber band you used on the rear fan?
Hi Kalestra, welcome to my channel, yes you can do that no issue but take note of the front. you will need to orientate the front fans just like I did with the P14 argbs imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Hi guys. I would like to ask if the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB can fit inside the case of Lian Li Lancool III RGB Gaming Midi Tower( at the top) or i must to go for the 360mm to be safe, because it seems i cant find a answer ?
hi Harrys Nikolaidis, welcome to my channel. the Liquid Freezer II and Liquid Freezer III are of the same diamension, therefore it will fit the Lancool III case but do note that the front, you will need to set it this way, else you can't close the front tray. imgur.com/gallery/front-with-3-x-140mm-fans-vHezOSS
I have got the setup but with an asus rog strix z790-e, just finished assembling last night and haven't gotten around to power it up for the first time since I'm not satisfied with the configuration. Unfortunately, mine cannot be mounted at the top since it didn't clear my trident z5 ram, the vrm cover, and of course the rear 140mm fan. A shame really, seeing that both of our motherboard are atx my ram sticks are not as tall as yours. I had to mount it at the front, and rearrange the front three case fans around. On top of that my arctic also came a bit bent along its overall length (probably due to shipping), I couldn't be bothered to return it and just had to finagle it more with screw alignments.
Hi mtl shdr, welcome to my channel, so sorry to hear that. Hmm but come curious how you mount the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 at the front? I have tried and it’s too thick. Unless I do not place a top front 140mm fan.
can you show me the top of fan bracket? have you installed all screws on the radiator? i have 420mm aio and Lancool 3, i cannot install the last 14cm fan because the last fan is "lower" than back panel IO. at 13:51, you are saying "do it slanting do not do it straight", is it the main reason i cant install the aio ? how to do it (do it slanting)? thanks...
Hi Algorithm Error, welcome to my channel. I wish I can show you but this case no longer with me. You will need to remove off your fans on the radiator and tilt to the side which I have shown you in this video. Do pardon me.
Watch 04:53 that’s how I mount the rad as for your rear I/O is it hitting your last fan. In this video I did mention about the measurements. If your rear I/O is higher than 40mm you won’t be able to fit your last fan. Yes I shown clearance of 45mm that includes the space between the case motherboard standoffs to your motherboard.
Hi Jake Foster, welcome to my channel. thank you for the feedback as mention if the rear I/O and Side VRM are above 40mm, the 420 Liquid Freezer II will not fit.
Hello! I was wondering about 5:21 part, where you are screwing the AIO to the top. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but my screws simply won't align on the side closer to me. Not to mention there are no screws to be used there to begin with (manual says to use ones that came with the AIO, but again, there are no that seems to fit - and again, the holes don't align.)
Hih osiris 4, welcome to my channel. alot have been asking me about this. yes the AIO does come with those screws.. sorry tha't I can't show you the top but rest assure the raidator mount holes align with the case top. You will need to do minor adjustments to get all 12 screws screw in. As what I did, I only anchor screws between the rad and the case holes, then go on with another till all 12 screws are in place first. then I fasten the screws like the way I fasten the thumb screws on a processor. doing it diagonally adjecent to all the rad screws. it takes sometime, eventually you will get them in. no big force required either.
Hello, tell me, have you installed the front fans? my mounting frame rests against the radiator and does not allow me to go all the way into the groove, it turns out the upper part is tilted, and the lower one is flat
Hi Rico Freinow, welcome to my channel. Do pardon me as the part where I mount the front fans are missing in this video. Here is how I mount the fans at the front. imgur.io/gallery/vHezOSS

Hello James Wright, welcome to my channel. As mentioned, with a slimmer body, you can tilt it abit and to adjust till the radiator is in place, then mount the fans. If I have the fans on the rad. I am forcing it brutally into position. This will damage the fan and scratches on the rad.
hello KingMactiC Beats, welcome to my channel, there are two thumb screws holding on the tray. one infront and one at the side and pardon me. my front is this way which I forget to place in this video imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
How did you connect all the RGB signal cables? Did you use the controller built in the case? Did you use some RGB splitter or something? It's 10 RGB fans you have and the case allows only to plug in 6.
Hi dziobak87, welcome to my channel. all my fans PWM are daisy chained and each set of daisy chain to the respective FAN headers on the motherboard. As for the ARGB, 1st I use this as a main argb controller with a remote www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BP1JZTND/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1X11FOVGZ8LKJ&psc=1 . There are total of 8 ports and I have left one port to connect to another argb hub extension www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CRYLT8JK/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A3LTGIMDZWJTFW&psc=1 to fill up the rest of the fans. then on the extension arb hub, I connect the rest of the fans. Doing this way ensure that my ARGB will have sufficient power as both the main argb hub and the extension argb hub draws power from the sata, directly from my PSU.
I forget, if I want to use the case argb controller, I just plug case argb to the main argb controller with a remote, which I can press on the remote to M/B, which is taking the instructions from the case argb controller.

@KleoYan 2mm clearance 😅, that is when radiator is mounted all the way to the side frame, very narrow I think, might consider the 360 instead, and swap the fans out with P12max, to be used as the bottom fans group…still brainstorming…
@Kleo Yan oh i see. I have mine mounted on the outside from when I was trying to front mount the 420mm aio lop. It still closes but I had to use a little elbow grease at first. I may have to try mounting it this way to see if it's easier

@Kleo Yan thank you kind sir. Thanks to you I was able to fit the 420 aio when everyone else said it wasn't possible. I must've revisited this channel 10 times lol. If only I could like it 10 times
Nice video. I have put a 280mm NZXT Z69 AIO in a Lancool 3 with a Asus Z690-f motherboard. Due to High VRM heatsink, this has been a massive challenge but managed it at the end with 0.1mm clearance :) informative video
Hi gökhanbat, welcome to my channel, yes it can be tricky to mount with motherboard that has high vrm heatsink. am glad you got to fit your 280. Thank you for your feedback.
Hello Jaiizwaii, welcome to my channel. which part are you not able to fit the 420 AIO at the top? If you are talking about the 12 screws. you need to slowly fiddle with the alignment, do not screw tight to one end, try screw just enough to hold the radiator and adjust the rest before you tighten up those screws. Also for the front fan tray mount. this is what I did which i forget to include in this video.imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Really nice clean build. Was going to switch to this case but got the new O11 Evo XL instead and can't wait to build in it. Really impressed with Llian Li cases in general as they are so flexible. Got the Arctic 420 as well but not sure which way to mount my gpu due to thermal performance.
Hi Abaivovin, welcome to my channel. Yup no doubt about it that their case are not only flexible but super modular. You are right, there are so many combinations to test on for thermal results. Am still fiddling with it too. Let’s see what I can do about it and if you did yours. Maybe share your results with us too. Thank you. 😉

HI CamaroWarrior, welcome to my channel, your temperatue looks good. If you intend to overclock your processor, a 360 will do it's job, unless you are using the AMD 7950X or the intel I9 13900K or KS. For your current setup, LS720 or LT720 are good to go. Infact I would go for the 360 Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 which is for more better as it's engineering is excellent. ruclips.net/video/ugg_6bvYZAk/видео.html
Hello. I have a question. In the video at 5:40 you are winding white tape around the perimeter of the fan. What kind of tape is this, what is it for, what function does it serve.
Hi Саша K, welcome to my channel and Merry Christmas, those are just for decorative, no function. Just my vanity 🤣. Just dont want to see something dull. Anyway those are highlighting tape for vechicle or motorbikes.
hi ripperro, welcome to my channel. They are rubber studs for fans. www.amazon.com/AUEAR-Silicone-Reducing-Vibration-Mouting/dp/B08KGWTDHK/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1YI3N4FFX5MFS&keywords=fan+rubber+screws&qid=1678803213&sprefix=fan+rubber+screw%2Caps%2C316&sr=8-8
Li an li website says for a 420mm, Orient the radiator tubing side toward the rear of the chassis. Have you asked them about that? I had a hard time getting this in and am not willing to try reversing it to see if that allows the rear fan to fit. My temps are in the 29s and low 30s C on idle with a 13900k and no rear fan. I think a 360 mm rad would have been a lot easier but it is done.
Hello Dorothy P, welcome to my channel. That’s when you do custom water cooling where you need to route the hard tubing as for AIO liquid radiators you can mount front or back. Not an issue.
Is your rear exhaust fan a 120mm or 140mm? No idea how you did it, i have zero chance fitting a 140mm fan there. And even a 120mm Noctua i had lying around seems impossible to fit?
Hi Duglum666, welcome to my channel. It’s a 120mm fan with a trick. I am not using metal screws at the rear. If you watch carefully in this video. I am using fan rubber studs instead.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the answer. :) Yeah, i saw that. But even with a 120mm fan and the rubber things it doesn't fit.. guess i'll have to try again. Lian Li really shouldn't advertise this case as "fits 420mm" though.. it's the most cramped piece of shit i've ever worked on in my life.. and i've built hundreds of PCs. It needs at least 3-5cm more depth/length.
@@Duglum666 hi thank you for your feedback. Infact they advertised as 420 radiator. Never mentioned about 420 Liquid AIOs but just that I took up the challenge and it did fit at the top for me with a twist 😬

A quick question, I'll get the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI and the arctic freezer ii 420mm in a lancool 3 case. Would it fit? Because the cooler near the mosfet coolers are kinda big on the tomahawk.
Hi xxSchadenfreude, welcome to my channel, I am not able to tell you if it fits as I do not have this motherboard, if you do have this board or able to have a look at shops. do the measurements of the motherboard side VRM and the Rear I/O Shield, so long it does not go over 40mm tall. You are good to go with a 420 Liquid Freezer II in this case.
@@Mike17865 if the motherboard heatsink measuring from the base of the motherboard to the tip of the VRM heatsink is more than 40mm. it will not work as you have to take into consideration of the 5mm gap of the standoffs of the case for the motherboard.
Hi St. Michael the Archangel, welcome back. I got mine from here PCI-E Desktop PC Remote Controller 20m Wireless Restart Switch Turn On Off a.aliexpress.com/_mKJNWEK
I am unsuccessfully trying to install an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 into my Lian Li Lancool III case. When the screw holes of the radiator are lined up with the screw holes in the case, the downpipes of the radiator push against the front fans and push the whole top end out so it will not close properly. Tried so many times now but it simply will not fit without pushing the front fans out. Have you any advice?
Hello Michael Longhurst, welcome to my channel. The reason you can’t close it because you need to flip the front fan which I got to apologise as I miss out showing you how I fit the front fans. Try this imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Hi Lagos Lagos, welcome to my channel. I slowly insert the radiator to the top. Fasten all 4 corner screws and not tighten them. Wiggle abit since then 4 corner screws are not tighten, then proceed to screw the 6 screws left but not tighten. Once all screws in, diagonally i tighten them.
Hello, i have a question how did you take out the bottom part that holds the hdd brackets? I took out all the screws but i think 1 screw is underneath one of the feet.
Hello White Wolf, welcome to my channel, yes one of the screws is directly behid the rubber of the feet. I have to peel that off and to remove the screws.
Can I use the top 420 radiator, front 420 fan, rear 140 fan? When I look at your video, I think the back side is 120 fan. I'm not good at listening to English, so I can't fully understand your video.
Hi Leet, welcome to my channel. it's with a 120mm fan at the rear, if you intend to use 420 liquid aio, please note that to attached the rear fan, you can't use normal fan screws, you will need rubber fan studs also at the front. the 3 x 140mm fan arrangement have to be in this manner imgur.com/gallery/front-with-3-x-140mm-fans-vHezOSS if not you wont be able to close the front cover.
Great video. How did you go about daisy chaining your fans? I have some fans not displaying aRGB properly (which I suspect is a power issue... Some options have those fans display colour and then they get "stuck" while the others continine to cycle) I have all the fans daisy chained to 1 header and the CPU cooler on its own, separate header. Am I correct in the assumption that you are operating with a relatively even daisy chain split, 5/6 per header?
Hi DSbroTV, welcome to my channel. the case itself has three argb cables. for the front fans I make use of two argb connector off from the case and the third cable I plug to this argb hub www.amazon.com/RGEEK-Splitter-10-Port-Extension-Perfect/dp/B08DRKR4B6/ref=sr_1_7_sspa?crid=11C9MOGAFHTM3&keywords=argb+hub&qid=1667510917&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjE5IiwicXNhIjoiNC44NCIsInFzcCI6IjQuNzQifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=argb+hub%2Caps%2C289&sr=8-7-spons&psc=1 from there, I plug the rest of the fans through it as there are 10 arb ports. the reason for this is, the argb cables from the case has a power limit, so I used that argb hub which is powered by a sata cable to extend the range, therefore I am able to control the argb effect via the case argb buttons.
Hi Winterr Winter, welcome to my channel. If you have not notice. I use psu that have flat cables. If you are using PSU like the Corsair HX or RM. then it’s harder to fit, as the sleeving plus the big coil on the cable will have some obstructions. In this case you can get a 8pin eps flat cable extension.
@@KleoYan thanks for the reply. just found out that I have the same issue with Mark A that the rear part (I/O part) of the case is blocking the radiator. would you mind uploading the top panel of the case with top filter removed for reference?
@@winterrwinter5136 hi sad to say, I have already dismantle this setup. now progressing to another. so sorry. infact I have mentioned so long your motherboard rear I/O does not have the height of 40mm tall, you should be able to fit in. in this video I have mentioned 45mm, this includes the starting point of where the motherboard standoffs are.. there is a 5mm space before you mount the motherboard.
@@winterrwinter5136 there are others asking me this question as theirs can't fit, end up using zip tie. my trick is simple, screw the rad bit by bit, like how you do the CPU Heatsink mounting.

Hi simple store, am sorry to hear that. Kindly note this is Lancool 3 not Lancool 2. Infact in all cases you have to know the measurements properly. I wish motherboard manufacturer will indicate the height of the rear I/O and the side vrm hearsink. Never the less, what you can do is to place your 280 aio at the front. That will still work.

Hey Kleo Yan, any chance you might be able to tell me if MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI will work in this setup (Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 in Lian Li Lancool III ). I can't find how high the heatsinks or the I/O bracket is.
Hi A Man, welcome to my channel, do pardon me as I do not have this motherboard, am not able to tell you the height. You can try write an email to MSI support, check with them instead. Once again, thank you for your visit, sorry that am not able to answer your question and all the very best with your build.
I have a question, in the video you say that there is a space of 40cm for a motherboard, but do you think that the aorus master z690 that is 40cm high will fit?
Hi $Y$T3M, welcome to my channel. If you measure from the motherboard bottom PCB to the top of the rear VRM heatsink and it’s of 40mm in height. Then your board will be able to fit.
I got the case, partly after watching the video. But, it doesn't fit. On the top, the IO shield part of the case blocks it from screwing it in. Are you not screwing the last 2-4 screws? Also, hits the fan bracket on the other side. You said you are not setting it all the way in. I had to revert to install on the front. To install it on the front also, I have to remove the disk caddy platform at the bottom. However, the arctic cables are very short. Front bracket has lips so it will only go one way. Either have to use RGB extension cable or not use RGB. Anyway lose all capacity for hard disk installation. If the case was a little taller or a little wider, it would have fit easily. I don't think this case should be advertised as supporting 420mm AIOs.
Hello Mark, welcome to my channel. hmm.. the I/O Shield I did tuck those cables nicely and had no issues with it and if you are talking about the 420 AIO radiator screws that has total of 12 screws, they are all in without issues. Do you mean when you screw in the rad at the top, the screw holes alignment is out? As for Hard disk as I see it. you should be able to mount it unless your PSU is way beyond 180mm in lenght?
@@KleoYan When I was trying to put the rad on top, the IO shield section of the case would hit the radiator part and not allow me line up the last 4 screw holes. We must have slightly different case or AIO.
@@KleoYan Regarding the hard disks, I had to remove the bottom tray that holds the hard disk mounts (as you did in the video) to install the AIO on front. One of the screws was under the foot and I did a bad job removing the adhesive to get the screw to remove the foot. On lancool 2, I use the hot swap feature and the ease of opening the lower tray to slide in a hard disk was so convenient.

@@ДаниилЧепурко-в5я Hi welcome to my channel, if you are referring to this 420 Liquid AIO, not possible, you can't close the front pannel as the radiator is too tick. even if you fit inside the fan tray which is offset. plus you cant close the tray back in place as the radiator hose is blocking. the only way to mount your Radiator is inside the case at the front. I do not advise to mount it at the front as you will have lots of obstacle, but you can give it a try. just because when you do that as you might scratch the radiator due to the huge size.
Seems like there is no room if you wanted to do a push pull setup in this case.

Hello! Can You help me please?
I have LIAN Li Lancool III RGB PC case, and i have Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420.
But my motherboard Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero. (VRM and I/O Zone 45mm high)
You say 45mm no problem.
My Question: Will it fit? 😳😶🤔
Please help me Mr!
THANK YOU!
Hello Attila Horvath, welcome to my channel.
I mentioned in this video from the stand-off of the case to your motherboard is 45mm tall. If your motherboard itself is 45mm tall, I am sorry to say you don’t have clearance to mount it.
I have a question. On 12:10 you say there are 40mm clearance from the motherboard to the radiator fan. At 12:31 you say there are 45mm clearance. Please can you clarify what is right? Maybe i don't understand because of my bad english.
Hi Andi316, welcome to my channel. To clarify, if your motherboard, the top of the Rear I/O to bottom of your motherboard, so long it's at 40mm tall,, you are safe to place the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 at the top. As why i've mentioned 45mm tall, that's the overall height which include the 5mm gap or space between the motherboard and the case (The motherboard stand off height) Hope this will clear your doubts. Thank you for visiting and all the best with your build.
@@KleoYan Thanks for your warm and kindly words. So to say it short: 45mm also fits and is the absolute maximum. Is that right?
@@Andi-sm5ix I would say measure the motherboard, just make sure it's within 40mm tall, anything above 40mm, you wont be able to fit this 420 Arctic Liquid AIO. also please note, for the front, you have to mount it this way imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS as I have miss out showing how the front fans should be mounted.
@@KleoYan That's bad. My Asus X670E motherboards heatsink is 42mm. So i can't use the Lancool III because of 2 mm? Any idea what i can do?
@@Andi-sm5ix you can use a 360 if you are not doing overclocking.
@Kleo Yan AWESOME! You're the only one reviewer who gives information about the length between motherboard VRM heatsink (including IO SHIELD & RAM) and arctic radiator. This review is an absolute problem solving for arctic LF II installation. Searching for this for fuckin 3 hours and finally found ur video, Thank you so much! Im planning to use LF II 360mm instead, would be ok for the rear fan to use normal Arctic P12?
Hello Gerardo, welcome to my channel. yes you can fit either a 120mm or even a 140mm fan at the rear if you are using the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 AIO. by the way, I have done the Thermal test wich you might be interested ruclips.net/video/1SPioF78x_E/видео.html . Just one side note. I am not a reviewer, more of a end user like yourself. I am just sharing my experience as a end user stand point and thank you to have visited my channel. All the very best with your build 😉👍
THANKS TO YOU I also installed the ALF3ARGB-AIO instead of sending it back, it's great how mega tight it all fits :).
My rear fan is not connected yet and the upper headers of my X870e A E Wifi7 are occupied by the AIO, to connect the rear fan cleanly to the SYS_FAN at the bottom of the board the cable is too short, I don't want to pull it ugly through the middle of the case. Do you know if there is a free Y-connector from the AIO or Lancool plugs that I can use for the rear fan?
Hi C, welcome back. is your LF3 a 360? if it is, the additional rear fan which you've bought (Arctic P12 ARGB), the fan has a daisy chained cable. What you need to do is to unplug the Radiator last fan which is towards the rear, plug that to the rear fan, and on the rear fan, plug that to the radiator cable. hope that make sense.
If you do that thermal test, I would actually also very much like to see the results of switching the rear exhaust to rear intake instead. As in, just flipping the 120mm fan. My guess is the top AIO fan furthest to the rear will pull in outside air from the back of the case anyway if the rear 120mm exhaust fan is removed. It might very well affect GPU temps too, but I am really unsure in which direction. I guess that also partly depends on the GPU orientation (horizontal vs vertical) and if its the one you have in the video, or one of the founder edition blower style GPUs.
Hello Thomas, welcome back. ok will do but will have to wait though. nevertheless will do some testing and to up with the next video. Thank you for the suggestion.
thanks to your video, I also bought a 420 Artik, but version 3, unfortunately, despite the same dimensions of the second and third versions, I cannot close the front fans, and when I slide the coolers to the very end of the housing, there is no hole to attach the coolers to the housing, as you did, by screwing the coolers on original holes in the housing?
Hi getfrags, welcome to my channel. You will need to place it this way to close it imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
@@KleoYan how did you attach it permanently?
@@KleoYan everything remained original?
@@getfrags for the radiator at the top. I screw those 12screws abit at a time. Anchor all screws to the thread holes before tightening it. There are some misalignment as the rad screw holes are not inline, so what I did is to use a long screwdriver that is thin enough to wiggle the holes in place with the top fan tray. So slowly and gently anchor all 12 points before tightening it.
@@getfrags I have swap out Lian li fans with Arctic P14 ARGB at the front. That’s the only thing not original and the front tray as I have shown you. That’s how I close the front tray.
This case and Fractal Meshify 2 RGB, are NOT OK for the super bulky Arctic 420. Yes it can fit, but with a lot of compromise, like removing a fan from the fractal case, or touching the case fans in Lancool 3...even if you are ok whit that, you still have to mind the hight of the RAM and MB heatsink. There a lots of "if" and "or" so I give up from 420mm and went for Freezer 360mm - it is absolutely perfect for Ryzen 7950x, there is no thermaltroteling even on long hours multicore task (like rendering)....Also the radiator of 360 model is 400mm long and the about 450mm for the 420 model. Mind that before bye it
Hi achi ramoto, welcome to my channel and thank you for your insight about the 420 AIO in those chassis. yes it does have compromises, infact a 280 AIO will also do the trick, so long you know how to set PBO2.
Is freezer II 280 a good option for this case? I'm looking for a case that can fit this AIO
I bet the fractal meshify 2 XL would do the job just fine 😊
420mm works just fine in this case. It helps to remove the front IO panel and the entire front fan bracket for initial fitting. I definitely would not recommend a case any smaller than this for a 420 though
@mattafaak no , it doesn't work fine at all ...not in Meshify 2 RGB - you can't remove the front fans in this case, cause they are in bracket part of the case. Even if you remove it somehow, it's defiantly not "working just fine". I can say this for the non RGB Meshify 2....Also 420mm is pointless for AMD processor

I'm sorry to bother you after 1 year, but your video is one of the few sources of information on this topic. I have several questions regarding video:
1. Is your RAM 55mm tall?
2. Do you think ADATA Lancer Blade RGB DDDR5 will fit? (especially length-wise, since you pointed out there is only 0,5mm gap)
3. Will MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi fit since it is about 35mm high on the heatsink at I/O?
4. Will stock 140mm front fans fit? I noticed you swapped them out for Arctic fans.
5. I'm trying to mount LFIII 420mm on top of the case, is LFIII the same as LFII in terms of fitting it in Lian Li Lancool III?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi zapasowy mail, welcome to my channel. I will answer your questions as follow.
1. Is your RAM 55mm tall?
The Dominator rams are at 55mm in height.
2. Do you think ADATA Lancer Blade RGB DDDR5 will fit? (especially length-wise, since you pointed out there is only 0,5mm gap)
The length of rams are of standard length and as I’ve checked. Your rams height and the Dominators are of the same height and straight at the side, you should not worry about it.. it will fit
3. Will MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi fit since it is about 35mm high on the heatsink at I/O?
With the rear I/O and Side VRM Heatsink which is at height 35mm, it will fit.
4. Will stock 140mm front fans fit?
I noticed you swapped them out for Arctic fans.
For the front, you will need to do this imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS inorder to close the front cover. Be it using default or the P14 ARGB Fans.
5. I'm trying to mount LFIII 420mm on top of the case, is LFIII the same as LFII in terms of fitting it in Lian Li Lancool III?
Yes, both LF2 and LF3 have the same measurements.
@@KleoYan Thank you very much for fast and detailed response, as well as very informative video! Wish you the best!

Hi dabagz1, welcome to my channel and yup, one of the better case and not forgetting then lancool 216 too
Thanks for this video, I had so many headache to choose the right case for the Freezer II, now I can build something like this, but on Intel by myself. Great help! Big like!
Hi Balazs, welcome to my channel and thank you for visiting. Kindly take note that I miss out on how the front fans should be mounted. This is for your reference and the only way to have the front fan mounted and to close the front fan tray imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Question? I want to replace the fans with Phanteks T30, do I connect each fan to the splitter or daisy chain the fans and run a single cable to the splitter? Or does it even matter?
Hi Haies 09, welcome to my channel, kindly check your motherboard fan header load limit. if the header is of 2a then you are ok to daisy chain 3 x T30 fans to that header. if it's 1a, it's advisable to get a fan power hub and not a splitter.
@@KleoYan my CPU header is 2A, so I’m fine there. Therefore it doesn’t matter how the fans are connected to the splitter?
@@haies09 it does, try not to go more than 5 fans in your case. as the max profile on T30 are rated 0.36a each at the highest profile.
Hello can you put link to this gum what you use to fan on back???
hello paczu91, welcome to my channel. I believe you meant the rubber studs to hold the rear fan. www.amazon.com/AUEAR-Silicone-Reducing-Vibration-Mouting/dp/B08KGWTDHK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=38WF1Q0C1LHPB&keywords=fan+rubber+screws&qid=1683428528&sprefix=fan+rubber+screw%2Caps%2C312&sr=8-4
Hi, I bought the h170i and lian li iii, and now I'm trying to install them, but I couldn't. Is it possible to install them? Or is the cooler bigger than the case?
Hi Mjood Zx, welcome to my channel. I have no idea will it fit or not and the site is down, I am not able to view the specs. Mayne you can measure the length of the Radiator. the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 Radiator is having a lenght of 458mm. It fit just right, if you are not able to mount at the top. mount at the front, which I believe it can be done as I dont think the Corsair 420 H170i has a thick radiator like Arctic. which is at 38mm thick.
I almost bought this, but 12:06 saved me. My motherboard height is 50mm to the top of the MOSFET heatsink. Thank you.
Hi Mike, welcome to my channel and i am glad this content did aid you. All the best with your build too. 😉
@KleoYan So the i/o panel on the X570 is 38mm? The I/O panel on my B650 is 50mm (same height as the MOSFET heatsink). Maybe a change in the B650 series?
A fail safe check is if you have a tall I/O panel like I have, and you consider the thickness of the AFii 420, the radiator is 38mm and the fans are 27mm, you would need a space of at least 65mm between the top of the case (if top mounted) to the I/O ports. My current case (Shadow Base 800) only has 60mm clearance here, so it fowls on the I/O panel.
@@mildmethod Hi welcome back. I will avoid using the 420 LF2 if I know that the space is only at 60mm. infact the default height of the P14 or P14 ARGB is at 25mm thick + the radiator at 38mm, total thickness is at 63mm, unless you change to taller or thicker 140mm fans.
@@mildmethodhello pls I'm considering this exact case..Shadow base 800 and I want this Arctic 420mm up top only, is there a chance for that?
Hi @@DavidRegaL-lw5xz the Arctic Freezer II 420 does not fit the be quiet! Shadow Base 800. I learnt the hard way and bought the case and AIO, so I know first hand.
What vertical GPU support do you use in the video?
Hi Lucas Guilherme, welcome to my channel. That was in the past and the vertical mount I am using might be hard to find. It’s the Lancool II GPU vertical mount and it’s a gen3 riser cable which I change it out with Gen4 riser cable. I would advice you to get the Lian li universal 4 slot GPU mount.

Can I use liquid metal thermal paste with this cooler?
Hi Alan Paschoal, welcome to my channel. Personally have tested it once. It’s not advisable. The copper will degrade fast and causes the material will lose its ability to absorb heat. Also Liquid Metal drys up fast. You need to regularly reapplication.

Hi itsjustme, i've make use of a ARGB Hub www.amazon.com/ARGB-PWM-Cooling-Lighting-Remote/dp/B08M644QQX/ref=sr_1_21?crid=1SK62FWOK0W1L&keywords=argb+hub&qid=1691044997&sprefix=argb+hubt%2Caps%2C330&sr=8-21. which allows me to connect all the P12 or P14 ARGB fans to this hub and the hub itself allows me to connect the argb connector to the case argb controller or I can make use of the ARGB hub remote controll.
@@KleoYan Thank you for the response. I see that you have 10 fans in your build, but the ARGB hub you linked only has 8 ports. Did you use a splitter to connect the rest, and did it come with splitter?
@@itsjustme77 the case itself have the argb controller. I have plug the front fan to the case argb controller. Set to by pass mode on the case argb controller and connect the case argb connector which suppose to go to the motherboard, but I plug that to one of the 8port argb hub. So my 8port argb hub left 7 connection point. Which is why it total up to 10 fans, which are controllable.

@@KleoYan Thank you for your reply and your support! I subscribed to your channel :)
Since the ALF II 360 has a smaller radiator area, do you think it should fit? And, maybe this is a stupid question, but.... at 12:24 you mention a 40mm clearance (420/280) and at 12:32 a 45mm clearance. Can you explain why?
You answer just a few seconds later... Apologies.
@@P4th0g3n_ hi, ok.. I think I confuse you.. now as why I say 45mm because. the actual clearance height limit of your motherboard rear I/0 and side VRM have to be at 40mm. as the 5mm is the space between your motherboard to the case.. there is a 5mm gap. you can ignore the 45mm, just note that any motherboard rear I/0 and side VRM are above 40mm. you can't fit the 420 Arctic Liquid freezer II. For 360mm, you will have no issues as the clearance is 60mm so your board will fit nicely.

@@KleoYan It’s been pretty great so far, but when taking off parts of the case, e.g. dust filters, HDD bays, etc., I’d have to pull oddly hard, it’s all stiff. Other than that I really like the clearance it gives me for everything, lots of room for cable management. Once I got the HDD bay out of the way, I was able to put in the AIO in a push/pull configuration and still have clearance from my Gigabyte 4080, which is huge. It also has an extra 4 fan slots in the back that I’ll get around to filling in a few days which is nice.

Hello, my motherboard is an X670E Aorus Xtreme from Gigabyte and its about 15" tall in Height. Is a 420mm Arctic Liquid Freezer III doable or will I have to go with a 360mm so it fits into my Lian Li Lancool 3?
Hi DarkNova92, welcome to my channel. Do you mean 1.5" tall. if it is.. it should not be an issue, it's within the 40mm height.
@KleoYan no, 15 inches in height that's how tall the VRM is apparently. Although i think I'd have better luck putting it in the front since it offers a max space of 100mm
@@darknova9298 hmm.. ok, so sorry am not use to inch, but after translating on google from inch to mm .. it translate as 381mm on your VRM Heatsink, you should have enough clearance. As illustrated here , the X570 Tachi has a height of 40mm which is 15.4 inch. I am able to fit the 420 at the top. Do note the rear fans you can only mount a 120mm fan and with rubber fan studs. You can't use the metal fan screws. If you feel not comfortable, a 360 LF2 or LF3 will definitely fit at the top.
@KleoYan Could i fit a 140mm fan on the rear if I put the III 420 at the front instead? With maximum clearance allowed (100mm)
i guess you have to change the 14 top rear fan for a 12 because of the AIO right?
Hi Lezer, welcome to my channel and yes I have to and to make use of the rubber fan studs to mount the rear fan.
Just bought both, hope I can get it to fit
Hello bobjimmy, welcome to my channel, you should be fine and please take note that the front fans you need to orientate it this way. imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Could you please do a step-by-step tutorial on how to install the 420 radiator, what screws to use, how can I reassemble the front with its 3 140mm fans. I'm a bit lost, please help.
Hi Aldray Javier, welcome back. So sorry, I can’t do that as the case no longer with me. What you need to do is to remove all the fans from the radiator. Holding the radiator, tilt it diagonally and slowly insert the radiator in and align it back straight to the top. Now as for the front fans. I did it this way. imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS
Rear p12 slim arctic fan (15mm thick) with 420mm arctic aio and 3x stock 140mm fans on front. Would it fit without using the rubber band you used on the rear fan?
Hi Kalestra, welcome to my channel, yes you can do that no issue but take note of the front. you will need to orientate the front fans just like I did with the P14 argbs imgur.com/gallery/vHezOSS

Hi guys. I would like to ask if the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB can fit inside the case of Lian Li Lancool III RGB Gaming Midi Tower( at the top) or i must to go for the 360mm to be safe, because it seems i cant find a answer ?
hi Harrys Nikolaidis, welcome to my channel. the Liquid Freezer II and Liquid Freezer III are of the same diamension, therefore it will fit the Lancool III case but do note that the front, you will need to set it this way, else you can't close the front tray. imgur.com/gallery/front-with-3-x-140mm-fans-vHezOSS
I have got the setup but with an asus rog strix z790-e, just finished assembling last night and haven't gotten around to power it up for the first time since I'm not satisfied with the configuration.
Unfortunately, mine cannot be mounted at the top since it didn't clear my trident z5 ram, the vrm cover, and of course the rear 140mm fan. A shame really, seeing that both of our motherboard are atx my ram sticks are not as tall as yours. I had to mount it at the front, and rearrange the front three case fans around.
On top of that my arctic also came a bit bent along its overall length (probably due to shipping), I couldn't be bothered to return it and just had to finagle it more with screw alignments.
Hi mtl shdr, welcome to my channel, so sorry to hear that. Hmm but come curious how you mount the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 at the front? I have tried and it’s too thick. Unless I do not place a top front 140mm fan.
can you show me the top of fan bracket? have you installed all screws on the radiator? i have 420mm aio and Lancool 3, i cannot install the last 14cm fan because the last fan is "lower" than back panel IO.
at 13:51, you are saying "do it slanting do not do it straight", is it the main reason i cant install the aio ? how to do it (do it slanting)?
thanks...
Hi Algorithm Error, welcome to my channel. I wish I can show you but this case no longer with me. You will need to remove off your fans on the radiator and tilt to the side which I have shown you in this video. Do pardon me.
Watch 04:53 that’s how I mount the rad as for your rear I/O is it hitting your last fan. In this video I did mention about the measurements. If your rear I/O is higher than 40mm you won’t be able to fit your last fan. Yes I shown clearance of 45mm that includes the space between the case motherboard standoffs to your motherboard.
With a MSI Z790 Edge DDR4 the AIO does not fit, it hits both the ram and the shroud around the rear io/VRA cooler.
Hi Jake Foster, welcome to my channel. thank you for the feedback as mention if the rear I/O and Side VRM are above 40mm, the 420 Liquid Freezer II will not fit.
Hello! I was wondering about 5:21 part, where you are screwing the AIO to the top. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but my screws simply won't align on the side closer to me. Not to mention there are no screws to be used there to begin with (manual says to use ones that came with the AIO, but again, there are no that seems to fit - and again, the holes don't align.)
Hih osiris 4, welcome to my channel. alot have been asking me about this. yes the AIO does come with those screws.. sorry tha't I can't show you the top but rest assure the raidator mount holes align with the case top. You will need to do minor adjustments to get all 12 screws screw in. As what I did, I only anchor screws between the rad and the case holes, then go on with another till all 12 screws are in place first. then I fasten the screws like the way I fasten the thumb screws on a processor. doing it diagonally adjecent to all the rad screws. it takes sometime, eventually you will get them in. no big force required either.
Hello, tell me, have you installed the front fans? my mounting frame rests against the radiator and does not allow me to go all the way into the groove, it turns out the upper part is tilted, and the lower one is flat

Quick question .. why didn’t you leave fans on the AIO when installing it ?
Hello James Wright, welcome to my channel. As mentioned, with a slimmer body, you can tilt it abit and to adjust till the radiator is in place, then mount the fans. If I have the fans on the rad. I am forcing it brutally into position. This will damage the fan and scratches on the rad.
does the 420 AIO fit at the front?
Hi Ugly Stick, welcome to my channel, you can put it at the front but you will need to remove the top most front fan, as that will block it.
How the hell did you remove the front part of the 3 fans i have a 420mm and doesn’t fit

Did you use the controller built in the case?
Did you use some RGB splitter or something?
It's 10 RGB fans you have and the case allows only to plug in 6.
Hi dziobak87, welcome to my channel. all my fans PWM are daisy chained and each set of daisy chain to the respective FAN headers on the motherboard. As for the ARGB,
1st I use this as a main argb controller with a remote www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BP1JZTND/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1X11FOVGZ8LKJ&psc=1 . There are total of 8 ports and I have left one port to connect to another argb hub extension www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CRYLT8JK/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A3LTGIMDZWJTFW&psc=1 to fill up the rest of the fans. then on the extension arb hub, I connect the rest of the fans. Doing this way ensure that my ARGB will have sufficient power as both the main argb hub and the extension argb hub draws power from the sata, directly from my PSU.
I forget, if I want to use the case argb controller, I just plug case argb to the main argb controller with a remote, which I can press on the remote to M/B, which is taking the instructions from the case argb controller.

Hello Jaiizwaii, welcome to my channel. which part are you not able to fit the 420 AIO at the top?

Li an li website says for a 420mm, Orient the radiator tubing side toward the rear of the chassis. Have you asked them about that?

Hey Kleo Yan, any chance you might be able to tell me if MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI will work in this setup (Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 in Lian Li Lancool III ). I can't find how high the heatsinks or the I/O bracket is.
Hi A Man, welcome to my channel, do pardon me as I do not have this motherboard, am not able to tell you the height. You can try write an email to MSI support, check with them instead. Once again, thank you for your visit, sorry that am not able to answer your question and all the very best with your build.
I have a question, in the video you say that there is a space of 40cm for a motherboard, but do you think that the aorus master z690 that is 40cm high will fit?
Hi $Y$T3M, welcome to my channel. If you measure from the motherboard bottom PCB to the top of the rear VRM heatsink and it’s of 40mm in height. Then your board will be able to fit.
