Who each one is for

Buy the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero for extreme overclocking on unlocked flagship CPUs and enthusiasts chasing sub-ambient temperatures, though it is not built for typical mainstream or locked-CPU builds and users who don't want extra proprietary control software. The Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 suits RGB dual-tower builds valuing fan-swap convenience and mid-to-high TDP CPUs, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking on the hottest flagship CPUs and stealth all-black builds. Our rating of the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero (7.9/10): remarkable thermal ceiling for extreme overclockers, but overkill and software-dependent for typical builds. Our rating of the Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 (7.7/10): A convenient, RGB-lit dual-tower cooler with a genuinely useful tool-free fan-mounting system.
