Verdict

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.

Corsair A115

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable flagship air cooler whose main draw is fitting neatly into an all-Corsair build rather than leading on raw thermals.
