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.

Enermax LIQTECH TR4

8 / 10 Expert Rating

The correct choice for Threadripper — full IHS coverage that generic AM5/LGA1700 coolers can't match.
