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.

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.
