Verdict

be quiet! Pure Rock 2

7.4 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible quiet budget cooler for locked mainstream CPUs, not for chasing overclocks.

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.
