Cooling Best Picks

After measuring CPU temperatures and fan noise for dozens of AIO coolers under load, we've chosen the best closed-loop cooler options to keep your PC cool and quiet.

We test several different fans to figure out which impellers are sellers and which spinners are sinners.

These are the best air and liquid/AIO CPU coolers we've tested, for all consumer systems, from small form-factor builds to overclocked big rigs.

We tested 37 different thermal compounds with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X and over 90 thermal compounds with Intel Core i9 CPUs to help you find the best one to help cool your CPU.
