Verdict
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L V2
7.6 / 10 Expert Rating
A dependable entry-level AIO that looks better than its price suggests, best suited to mainstream builds rather than high-TDP flagships.
Noctua NH-D9L
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
The best compact dual-tower option for small-case builds that still want Noctua-grade reliability and don't want to compromise all the way down to a single-tower cooler.
