Desktop computers these days generally have powerful multi-core CPUs and the standard cooler that Intel and AMD provide along with these processors are pretty disappointing to say the least. If you’re using a high-end Intel Core i5, i7 or AMD Ryzen processor with a stock cooler, you would probably have realized that it’s not the only one when it comes to cooling performance.
That’s exactly why you need to invest in a third-party Best CPU Cooler capable of keeping temperatures low and avoiding thermal choking issues that arise due to overheating. Furthermore, users who are eager to over-clock their processors can make the most of these coolers to maintain thermals.
Noctua NH-D15 High Performance Air Cooler:-
Not everyone loves full liquid coolers. If you’re one of them, then the Noctua NH-D15 is simply the best air cooler you can buy for your processor. This dual-tower cooler is very big, so make sure you have enough space and free RAM space before you decide to buy one. The Noctua NH-D15 features a 6 heatsink design with two heat pipes with two 140mm NF-A15 PWMs for maximum cooling performance during over-clocking, without making too much noise like an all-in-one liquid cooler.
The cooler assumes an asymmetrical shape, in one motion to provide better compatibility. Finally, the cooler comes with the company’s high-quality NT-H1 thermal compound, so you don’t need to buy an additional one for installation.
Corsair Hydro Series H115i Liquid CPU Cooler:-
This is Corsair’s top-of-the-line cooling solution, which mainly targets all over-clocking out there. Well, this liquid CPU cooler can handle almost anything, even when you try to push the CPU to its limits, as it is able to keep temperatures under control. The Corsair H115i has a large 280 mm radiator that houses two 140 mm PWM fans, capable of providing high static pressure and customizable speed.
In addition, users will be able to use Corsair Link software to monitor processor and coolant temperature, adjust fan speed, and customize fan speed directly from the desktop. The H115i is considered the main rival of the Kraken X62. While both offer similar performance levels, noise levels are noticeably lower in the NZXT counterpart.
Arctic Freezer:-
Next in line is the best CPU cooling system in terms of design in the budget segment. The main color of this device is black (even the radiator fins are painted on it). But for the fan, you can also pick up various accents: green, white, yellow or red. For about 4$ above, you can buy the DUO modification. Its design and features are similar, except for the presence of a second fan.
The four copper heat pipes are also black, except for the point of contact with the CPU. Its surface is perfectly flat, excellent heat dissipation. The standard 120 mm fan has low noise level and is able to run at speeds from 200 to 1200 per minute. The Freezer 34 has a maximum power dissipation of 200 watts.
