Verdict
Corsair A500
8.1 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely strong flagship-tier air cooler that trades a few degrees against Noctua's best for a lower price and Corsair's ecosystem familiarity.
Phanteks Glacier One 360D30
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely strong thick-radiator AIO for builders with the case clearance to use it, though it demands more planning around fit than a standard-thickness 360mm cooler.
