Verdict

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Outstanding thermal value at 280mm — the VRM fan is a genuinely useful extra most AIOs lack.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A cooler whose distinctive ring-fan design is a genuine aesthetic differentiator more than a thermal one.
