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-D9L

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

The best compact dual-tower option for small-case builds that still want Noctua-grade reliability and don't want to compromise all the way down to a single-tower cooler.
