I recently bought a water-cooling system from Arctic (https://www.arctic.de/en/Liquid-Freezer-III-280-A-RGB-Black/ACFRE00143A), and I would like to know how to connect and configure it, can you give me some tips/advice?

    There are no guides of any Acer community members that have used this Arctic AIO water cpu cooer, as most community members use the Noctua cpu coolers like the NH-U9S chrome_black or the NH-U12S chrome_black type dry coolers.

    I don't know if the Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB (Black) 317 (L) x 138 (W) x 38 (H) mm radiator will fit into the PO5-650 case as you could have problems as its too big, usually a 240mm radiator is the size used.

    This is the Acer RGB Header connection guide for the PO5-650 fans, so follow this guide as it should work for the Arctic AIO cpu cooler RGB fans.

    Oh sorry, my mistake, it is 240 not 280, but i am actually interested how the fans and pump work with this setup and motherboard software/predator sense? And which cable i should to use for connection, this one:

    Here is the board layout for the PO
    5-650:

    The key notes are that the CPU_FAN no longer connects to a fan, it is used instead to run the cooling pump, and SYS_FAN_1 & 2 are now used to run the fans for the cooler. That is the way the motherboard is setup on the PO7-650 mach8ines, which uses the same motherboard as the PO5-650. So, if your AIO physically fits, that's the way you want them wired.
