Verdict

be quiet! Shadow Rock 3

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

The strongest cooler in be quiet!'s Shadow Rock series, and a genuinely quiet single-tower option for buyers who put acoustics ahead of maximum thermal headroom.

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero

7.9 / 10 Expert Rating

Remarkable thermal ceiling for extreme overclockers, but overkill and software-dependent for typical builds.
