Verdict

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.

Noctua NH-D12L

8.3 / 10 Expert Rating

An excellent no-compromise pick when tall RAM rules out a standard dual-fan tower.
