Verdict

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

7.2 / 10 Expert Rating

The same dependable 212 performance in a cleaner all-black finish — a safe budget pick.

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.
