Verdict
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.
Thermalright Frozen Warframe 360 Black ARGB
8.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely capable 360mm AIO that adds an LCD display and ARGB lighting without abandoning Thermalright's value pricing.
