Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my PC either this month or next, but I'm running into some issues finding parts. I originally wanted the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420mm for my 9950x3d, but it seems to be out of stock. I heard some suggestions for the Lian Li Galahad II Lite, but I'm a bit hesitant about whether it will fit well in my Fractal Meshify 3 XL case. Can anyone recommend a solid alternative to the Liquid Freezer III 420mm? Additionally, I was planning to use AIO radiator fans at the top for exhaust and have the front's three 140mm stock fans for intake, plus one fan in the back for exhaust. Unfortunately, the ARCTIC P12 Max fans are also unavailable. What would you recommend as a good substitute for those? Thanks a lot!

If you're looking for an alternative to the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420mm, the Corsair H150i Elite Capellix is a great option. It cools really well and has RGB if you're into that sort of thing. As for the Lian Li Galahad II Lite, it's a decent cooler too, but make sure you check the compatibility of its dimensions with your case. It should work, but just keep an eye on space.
For the ARCTIC P12 Max replacement, you might want to check out Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans. They are a bit pricier but they are known for being super quiet and effective. They should fit nicely with the airflow you have planned.
Great tip, thanks! Noctua fans have such a good reputation for performance.
Thanks! The Corsair cooler looks cool and has good reviews. I'll consider that!
