15 Best CPU Coolers

One of the most affordable water cooling systems among those that incorporate multi-colored backlighting. Corresponding LEDs are placed here on both the most important design elements. It is also impossible not to note the fact that the case can be made of black or white materials. This allows you to choose a system for the design of a particular system unit.But keep in mind that the white version is priced more expensive for unknown reasons.

As buyers write in their reviews, the design is successfully installed on many popular sockets - LGA 1150, LGA 1155, LGA 2011 and some others. The radiator of this model is made of aluminum. The cooling system uses two fans, the rotation speed of which varies from 500 to 1500 rpm. When the computer is running without much load, the design placed on the processor is almost inaudible. Maximum measurements show only 30.5 dB. Pleased with the purchase and a three-year warranty period. Unfortunately, after just such a period of time, the liquid cooling system may experience certain problems that are characteristic of many other such inexpensive specimens.

An inexpensive cooler that performs well in conjunction with processors from both Intel and AMD. The budget cost affected the materials of the pump bearing - it is ceramic, but the manufacturer promises that it will work 80 thousand hours. There is a customizable RGB backlight, both on the fan and on the water block. The speed controller is not provided.

Teflon coated tubing. The reviews note that no fluid leaks were noticed. Heat dissipation is excellent if you are using a non-hot processor. By installing this LSS, the temperature during overclocking will drop by at least 10 points. Installation is simple and time consuming. This is one of the best inexpensive CPU coolers if you're on a budget and want dropsy.

Those who like to have a rainbow in their case will definitely like the Cooler Master Master Liquid ML240R RGB. For specially, there are 3 types of fans with different speeds, allowing you to combine components for the best effect. The company has learned from the mistakes of the past and the model in the latest revisions flows only in the case of a disregard and lack of care in terms of cleaning, but it is better to buy a filter altogether.

According to customer reviews, there is no difficulty in installing here, which should also be thrown into the piggy bank of pluses. A nice addition would be a tube of thermal paste in the kit. The fastener parts of the turntables are completely rubber and are separately screwed to the body, creating a minimum background noise.

the copy was created for those who most of all appreciate long service life. There is no doubt that after placing all the components in the case, you will remember it only for the sake of cleaning from dust. The water cooling system from ASUS does not require much maintenance, it will work stably even after several years of operation. But you will have to pay a considerable amount for this - now it is one of the most expensive copies of its kind. It is not surprising that the system is mainly used by the owners of the most powerful processors, which are also subject to overclocking.

To install the entire structure will need a lot of space. The fact is that the aluminum radiator itself turned out to be quite large. Water moves from it to the second important element, which is a block of three fans. Such a number of them were needed to reduce the noise level.As a result, even spinning at maximum speed does not make the design loud - measurement in close proximity shows only 29.7 dB. In total, the range of 450-2000 rpm is available to the user. As for the socket, the product supports a variety of processor sockets - from AM4 to LGA 2011-3.

A great looking CPU cooler that deserves the title of "top for the money". Supports many sockets. The manufacturer calls this model a gaming one, but for hot processors it is better to choose a cooling system with a large number of fans - this one will not cope with the load.

The reviews note high performance and quiet operation. For example, Castle 240 RGB V2 allows the AMD Ryzen 3700X processor to overclock to 4300+ MHz with all cores, and the chipset temperature under load stays around 86 degrees. With such indicators, the "dropsy" almost does not make noise. RGB lighting looks beautiful and works correctly with all motherboards. A feature of this model is the stabilization of pressure in the tubes. Among the shortcomings are incomprehensible instructions and difficulties during installation (relevant for those who will have this first CO).

The cheapest and weakest Deepcool CK-11508 in our top is suitable for office machines without overclocking, as it dissipates no more than 65 W of energy, but for such a price you should not expect more. The 92mm fan produces a modest 40.9 CFM. Noise corresponding - only 25 dB.

According to customer reviews, the model will easily fit on LGA1150/1151/1155/S1156 sockets. The small contact surface is compensated by a good screw mount and clamping force, but you should be careful not to overdo it, as it can be easily broken.

Received the status of AeroCool BAS gaming cooler. The maximum power dissipation is 100 W, you can’t really drive 95 W processors on it, but it can handle the new Ryzen with a TDP of 65 units. The spinner is unregulated and the number of revolutions is only 1200 per minute. This is not much, but enough to complete all their tasks.

The noise level is minimal - 19 dB, thanks to the wide 120 mm cooler. Due to the compact shape, the air is taken from the side cover of the case, generating an airflow of up to 55.6 CFM. The radiator is made soundly, the ribs do not spring.

This is an analogue of a boxed cooler. Inexpensive, supports Intel LGA1150/1151/1155/1156 sockets. Please note: there is a modification with blue backlight, and there is without. Fan with a diameter of 120 mm, accelerates to 1800 rpm. The radiator is made of aluminum and copper. It removes heat well - this is what users write in the reviews. For example, the i5 3550 works perfectly - in the stress test, the heating reaches only 65 degrees, while with the stock cooler it was 85 degrees.

The cooler itself is large and heavy. The noise level does not exceed 28 dB. It is easy to install, but because of the screws with springs, some users experience inconvenience when fixing the cooler. Cooler Master I70C is one of the best options if there is not much space in the system unit and the budget for the cooling system is seriously limited.

A good option for the assembler of a very inexpensive office computer. It is this cooler that is usually included with cheap Intel processors. You should not expect impressive opportunities from him. If you got a gaming chip with an unlocked multiplier, then this is definitely not your choice. If the processor does not tend to get very hot, then such a cooler will definitely fit. It is equipped with a small aluminum heatsink, so you don't need much space in the case. As for the fan, it rotates at a speed of 1200 to 2800 rpm. The noise level will be noticeable - at maximum speed it can reach 38 dB.

The manufacturer claims that this cooling system is ready to dissipate 80 watts of power. This once again confirms the fact that the cooler is not designed to be installed on an overclocked processor. To connect to the motherboard, a 4-pin PWM connector is used here. As for the socket, only LGA 1150, LGA 1151 (including the second version), LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 are among the supported ones. The warranty period for this product does not exceed six months.

As an inexpensive box, we recommend Deepcool ARCHER BIGPRO.A simple and successful design with support for the new AM4 socket from AMD allowed the cooler to establish itself as a folk cooler on the market. Installation takes about 30 seconds with straight arms. The copper core greatly enhances heat absorption, resulting in a maximum power dissipation of 125W.

A good bonus is the multidirectional radiator fins, due to which the heat is evenly distributed over the entire area of ​​​​the radiator. The spinner is capable of accelerating up to 2000 rpm, pleasing with a low noise level both at the top and at minimum speed. For the money - definitely top.

Install ICE EDGE MINI FS V2.0 in your computer and ensure low temperatures for any Intel and AMD processors without overclocking. However, if the overclocking is weak, for example, as on the new Ryazhenka, then the cooler can be used, but with extreme caution. In this case, V2.0 will be slightly more efficient than a standard boxed turntable.

In their reviews, buyers praise versatility and it is absolutely deserved, since the package includes mounts for all modern processors. The low noise level is also pleasing, although the diameter of the turntable is only 82 mm. 2 copper heatpipes dissipate heat to the radiator, which needs to be cleaned often because it clogs quickly. The connection is made via a 3-pin connector.It is recommended to carefully approach the installation, since the fasteners, especially for AM3 +, are tight.

Beauty, silence, low temperatures - these are just a small list of the advantages of this model. There are already two fans here, both with a diameter of 120 mm. This is enough to dissipate 160 W of heat, since 5 heat pipes can handle it at once. The only problem is the tight brace.

The color of the blades, heat pipes and lighting caused the price increase, if beauty does not bother you, you can find an alternative. In stress tests on Ryzen 1800x, the temperature slowly rises to 85 degrees over half an hour, after which it does not rise at all. In general, we recommend for connoisseurs and aesthetes.

that this cooler is in stable demand. Even despite the fact that the backlight here is made only in blue. People like the universality of this model. The aluminum-copper heatsink can be attached to a variety of sockets - from AM2 to LGA 1200. This means that everyone will be satisfied - both AMD chip owners and fans of Intel products.

The design used here does not imply a particularly fast rotation of the fan. The maximum you can achieve from it is 1800 rpm. In fact, this is quite enough for the system to cope with the cooling of most processors, unless you decide to overclock your chip a lot. And the large size of the “turntable” contributes to a low noise level - measurements will show only 21 dB or even a more modest value. The hydrodynamic bearing should also be thankful for this.To connect the fan to the motherboard, the usual four-pin connector is used.

2 fans and 7 heatpipes deliver a killer 250W of power dissipation. He sets records and competes with dropsies, showing as close as possible, and even surpassing the results of the LSS. Options rich, match the price category. Heatsink, turntables, mounting brackets, instructions, screwdriver, thermal paste and fasteners for Intel and AMD - all this you will find inside the package. The case is completely black, there is no hint of backlighting or other excesses.

Compared to the 3rd generation, the Quartet has become much easier to install without breaking fingers and the motherboard, Ryzen owners will be especially happy. Each module consists of 42 aluminum plates, the distance between which is only 2 mm, which is the standard. According to customer reviews, this is a great device, but the price and weight of almost 1 kg greatly narrow the circle of fans of the model.

Two 140 mm fans are responsible for cooling here. Everything from packaging and build quality to cooling and support is top notch. The manufacturer gives a guarantee for 6 years. Technical support works quickly and competently: upon request, it sends fasteners for socket 1356 directly from Austria, as well as broken body elements, if you provide evidence of a breakdown - in the reviews, the user said that during the first installation he squeezed the bolt and broke the frame, and the manufacturer sent a new one for free .

This is a large cooling system, so consider this when choosing: in our top you will find more compact options. Users write that the cooler is able to "freeze" the processor, it removes heat so well. This is one of the best COs, which is suitable for both powerful i5 and i7 processors, as well as for running models from AMD.
