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.
Noctua NH-C14S
8.1 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely clever convertible design that earns its price premium in the specific builds it's meant for, not a general-purpose upgrade over a standard tower cooler.
