Verdict

AMD Wraith Prism

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely decent bundled cooler for its era, worth keeping for a budget build but not worth buying separately once you compare it to current low-cost aftermarket coolers.

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420

9 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the best value-per-degree AIOs available at any radiator size, now in its largest non-Pro form.
