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-U12S Redux

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

Noctua's mounting and acoustics at Hyper 212 money — an easy budget recommendation.
