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.

Intel Laminar RM1

4 / 10 Expert Rating

A purely functional stock cooler that does its narrow job and nothing more; almost any aftermarket cooler on this list is a clear upgrade.
