Verdict

ARCTIC Freezer A35

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly serviceable AMD-focused budget cooler, best suited to genuinely tight-budget builds rather than anyone with even a little more to spend.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140

8.6 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the best price-to-performance dual-tower coolers available, now with larger fans for extra headroom.
