Verdict

Corsair iCUE LINK H100i RX

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-executed mid-size entry into Corsair's cable-simplifying iCUE LINK ecosystem, priced for the ecosystem rather than raw thermals alone.

Intel Laminar RM1

4 / 10 Expert Rating

A purely functional stock cooler that does its narrow job and nothing more; almost any aftermarket cooler on this list is a clear upgrade.
