About this deal
Not a big deal since laying the board flat on the table bypasses it, but this could be even easier if Arctic refined the solution with cap screws.

Developed In-HouseThe Liquid Freezer II Series AIO coolers feature a newly developed PWM-controlled pump, boasting a copper base, improved efficiency, lower power usage and quiet operation. The fan is PWM-controlled and can cool your voltage converters and the socket area almost inaudibly by up to 15 °C especially in overclocking scenarios, with insufficient VRM cooling or in cases with low airflow, and thus allows continuous high load.Unlike most other all-in-one liquid cooling manufacturers, we rely on 38 mm thick radiators with a high fin density.
Arctic has differentiated itself as much as it could, including the inclusion of a small 40mm VRM fan atop the pump. If you have a Lian Li 2 mesh case, I can confirm this has no issues with clearance with the thicker radiator with a front mount, also because the T30 fans im using are thicker than usual as well (30mm over the standard 25mm) it still has no issues with clearance. This allows you to sync your lighting across several different components using the usual tools from ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, and MSI. Taking into account that there is more liquid in this system than in most others (that beat this system in this review) is enough to start seeing red flags here. I agree with you on that the VRM fan isn't really needed with enough cold air moved in and hot air moved out, could just disable it if it is that annoying.These Fluid Dynamic Bearing units are rated for a 200-1800 RPM speed range via the PWM control method.
