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-U9S

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible, well-built compact cooler for mATX builds that don't need flagship-level thermal headroom.
