Verdict

ASUS ROG STRIX LC III 360 ARGB

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible mainstream entry point into ASUS's ROG cooling ecosystem for buyers who don't need the RYUJIN III's flagship display.

be quiet! Dark Rock 4

7.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable, genuinely quiet single-tower cooler that's been slightly outclassed by be quiet!'s own newer Dark Rock 5, but still a solid mid-tier pick on sale.
