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.

Phanteks PH-TC14PE

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuine classic that remains one of the quietest dual-tower coolers available, still worth buying today despite its age.
