Before anyone else asks ‘why no thermalright coolers in the thumbnail’. Can I suggest you watch the intro of the video and then skip to the test results to see the peerless assassin in the charts ? 🤷🏻♂️. Just an idea 😘
😆
gamersnexus fans - its funny, its like steve has a cult following at times. At least its not more inane comments on an AIO being 'the right way up'!
sorry for all the spam - youtube is rife with it! we have removed all the comments we've seen
Thank you
Thanks for reviewing and happy that our two Dark Rocks were able to impress!
Amazing video James. I appreciated the details on the install procedure for each of them
Great roundup - nice to see some coolers ive never heard of before and some good ones we all know like the thermalright in the graphs !
The lesson here is that with the new generation of large air coolers available today, only the highest-performing CPUs require liquid cooling, and even they can run happily on air as long as they're not pushed overly hard. But then, for some users, that's the reason to own a high-end CPU.
Amazing wee roundup there. Some coolers I’d never even heard of. That Bequiet cooler is fantastic.
Good point theres so many air coolers on the market its hard to know where to begin. Nice to have them all neatly together in one comparison video.
Been using a Noctua NH-D14 for about 12 years. Original fans still working. The best air cooler i've ever owned.
I keep wanting to see what all the fuss is about with the newer Thermalright coolers, but I can't bear the thought of taking out the Noctua.
I've got an ancient NH-U12A still going strong even on the system I built last year with a 7800X3D. The only thing I've done is get the AM5 offset bracket. It's crazy how long the Noctua fans last.
Thermalright now beats it comfortably in price to performance ratio, ease of install and size, but probably not in a longevity battle.
Great video James. Lots of details and loved the installation sections. Always important for me.
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing work James as always - some great buying advice in this! havent watched it all yet. its a movie mate !
Glad you enjoyed it
nice to get all this data. very useful information. must have taken weeks
Hey James nicely done man. Great cross section of coolers and some really good results too.
Thanks! 🙂
you guys do the best reviews!
Thanks!
Enjoyed the article. Haven’t even heard of a few of these brands so was interesting. Install section for each cooler gets a thumbs up from me
Glad it was helpful!
Good video enjoyed watching all the install methods. A lot of videos don’t show that.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great work James. It's brilliant to see air coolers punching above their weight, there are so many good options these days. Have the Peerless Assassin in my build, got it for €34 which is just mind blowing given how it performs
Great video! Thanks. If I may make a suggestion, it would be very useful to have the height of each cooler in a summary chart.
Great suggestion!
i agree, the bequiet cooler is one of the best ive had. love it. quiet too
I love air cooler reviews, I don’t know why but they always interest me ❤
Me too !
good one James!
Insane Video - thank You KITGURU
What cooler are you using yourself? thinking of an upgrade>?
@@KitGuruTech I Have a Humble Hyper 212 EVO on My Ryzen 5 3600 - it is Good Enough for Now but I will Upgrade when I Move to AM5
That’s a pretty good cooler man
that bequiet! is brilliant, arctic one is good too !
the bequiet cooler is a bit of a monster. very impressive results all round.
I have always been a big fan of arctic coolers - I havent use the one you tested, but that some product for the money.
Great to see some
Loving for air coolers. Still prefer them over AIO !
Good idea james, I like it - get 8 coolers - some well known brands - some not so well known and see if they are any good - while including some results from well known brands in the graphs - was interesting and refreshing seeing stuff id never seen before to be perfectly honest. I loved the install timestamps - im always interested in how the install method is - ive bought some coolers in the past which were an absolute nightmare to install properly.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Please test the noise @the same fixed fan speed for all Coolers this would make way more sense
Like the look of that Bequiet. It’s massive though. Takes up some space.
The Corsair A115 is also very large and it sits very close to the GPU backplate with a GPU installed in the first PCIe slot.
I had to look at old invoices to see the last time I bought a Hyper 212 for a customer, 15 years ago!
They're really milking that product name recognition a bit beyond at this point.
wow thats a lot of hot air. see what I did there? - lol. I like that arctic cooler, hard to beat that price.
I can imagine Bequiet charging an arm and a leg to replace those custom fans! No thankyou Bequiet or for that matter any other of the custom fan designs.
isnt it simple, but really ive decided to just focus on what i have/am doing atm
Wish I can buy all these 😁
Love air coolers. Don't think i'll ever go aio
Im in the market for a new cooler and im interested in tthe single tower 120mm coolers mostly because i dont plan on owning a power thirsty cpu. Really wanted to see how well the hyper 212 holds up these days vs a cooler like the freezer 36. Nothing against the other cooler but i dont think it available in my market. Atm i think im going with the freezer 36 because its quiet.
no Phantom Spirit 120?
Corsair's air cooler looks super stylish😊
It does!
Please make a Detailed review on Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 1050W Hydragea Blue ATX 3.1 currently there's no review on this powersupply
You won’t get it in a cooler review that’s for sure
between the deepcool mystique and the arctic liquid freezer III which is the better aio for cpu temps and clocks? Also which one comes out on top for noise normalised cpu temps?
Check these videos out:

@@KitGuruTech thank you!
Got a link to the AIO video? Can't find it
Here's a link to our latest AIO review video: czcams.com/video/Trn8zu4ynfg/video.html and this is the AIO roundup video we did in November 2023: czcams.com/video/Dd01_-QlXPA/video.html
Lol, I just went back to open loop cooling. Too much noise with the aio cpu and air 4090
Man i remember picking up a hyper 212 for 25euro back in like 2012 what a whopper deal that was.
Yes that was a good deal back then, the official UK MSRP of the Hyper 212 Halo was £59.99 inc VAT! at launch but it has been reduced since.
thumbs up from me for using the best AMD processors ! sick of these always being installed on intel.
Thanks !
Grabbed 2 of the Artic 36 coolers for my daughters PCs. £46 for both delivered is an absolute bargain.
19-21C Ambient? Such a variable ambient temperature can completely change the order of performance of cooling systems! All systems should be tested at the IDENTICAL ambient temperature!
That would be ideal, but the cost of a climate control chamber that can hold ambient temps with less than single degree precision are extremely expensive. Besides that two degrees is within margin of error for most testing requirements.
Shame the majority of coolers only allow mounting that allows air flow from front to back, not from down to up. I feel GPUs would benefit from the heat being drawn away from them and pushed out the top of the case.
First actual comment that isn't a bot. Also thanks for the round up
thank you - all spam removed!
Everyone knows Thermalright Phantom Spirit is king. Bin all these other coolers with higher price tags tacked on just because of the brand name thats printed on them
1:25 another channel with missed oportunity:
There is so many 7800X3D owners, that are even more interested to cool down their CPUs properly, but no, most of the bigger channels are doing only 7950X & 7600X ( which many ppl dont care to spend too much on cooling it, so they put just what they found on it eitherway... ) ... While the 7800X3D is the perfect candidate for some "mid to good" aircooling solution with its 120W TDP and about 145 (?) Watt max power output.
The problem with the 7800X3D is keeping consistency for thermal testing accurately, since you cant manually overclock or directly adjust CPU voltage.
@@KitGuruTech Yeah, its a good point james - the 7800X3D is a great CPU but its not ideal for these reviews at all due to the way its locked .
Good thing you didn't use a 14900KS to test these air coolers 😉
the AMD setup is pretty good for testing. ive seen some people complain about lack of 7800X3D but its hard to keep it consistent for thermal testing as you cant manually overclock or directly adjust CPU voltage.
Do the same with 14900k, people on Reddit keep insisting that they are fine with that cpu
She runs hot for sure
By 2035 we "might" get the new Noctua NH-DH15 successor.
/s
Yeah I hope so. They are slow
That Artic cooler is ow £47 on amazon
You have to click on the amazon listing where it says "other sellers on Amazon" and its still available for £23.09.
anyone using aircoolers on new chips which are power hungry and hot??
No Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 in the mix?
Yeah no thermalright... they don't want the high end/expensive cooler to look bad...
they have it in the results part of the video
Hey guys might be a good idea to watch the video before commenting. Hilarious.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin is in the 7950X charts. So yes it is in the mix. Its just not in the thumbnail, as the main reason for doing this video is to do a roundup of 8 coolers we were sent.
I am no fan (no pun intended) of aio coolers. However I currently have a 360 that I hate as it draws more power than needed considering my 7900gre and 5800x3d do not draw enough to overheat. I think I will bin my Artic and go back to an assassin. Thermalright have done great things with cheap air coolers while their aio coolers are great and affordable but fucking overkill for the sake of aesthetics
How come whenever I watch a video of cooler reviews the results are widely different?
We have noticed that a lot of other reviews have tested on Intel systems which might explain why you see different results.
We have found during our extensive AIO cooler testing that you can see very different behaviour of coolers on AMD CPUs compared to Intel. This is why we test AIOs on both platforms but unfortunately time constraints made it impossible for us to test both platforms in this video, so we can't say for certain if the coolers in this video would or would not behave the same on an Intel system.
@@KitGuruTech
I'm aware of the platform differences, the results are just, widely different. For example in the Hardware Canucks review of the Corsair A115 they found it to be fairly quiet at max fan speed, and they also found that the Be quite coolers underperform on AM5. Yet in your videos the Corsair A115 is loud as heck, and the Be quiet coolers are top performers.
In his video the DeepCool/Thermalright coolers perform best on AMD, and be quiet performs better on Intel.
As always the conclusion is if you want an air cooler just get a cheap Thermalright PA or PS and you are good to go. Expensive air coolers are a big waste of money.
there's one brand that isn't here and thats thermalright as for best Bang for your buck coolers its Thermalright
Thermalright Peerless Assassin is in the 7950X charts. 👍
Why do people complain when they haven’t even watched the video 😅
@@user-uv8qn1br8qthere are so many new recent coolers out from Thermalright that do better then a lot of the coolers in their list in the description
Mainly for AMD good luck running on an new inte i9 or i7l 😂
Why no Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO in this lineup? It's one of the very best - and under $50 US.
I can't take a review like this seriously if they don't include thermalright cpu coolers...
They even include the Endorfy Fera 5 that i never heard of... like wtf?
Maybe afraid of the complete destruction of some sponsored high end/expensive coolers?
Have you guys watched the start of the video ?
Right at the very start of the video James explains they are coolers he had left to review so he put them in a single video to get them done.
Thermal right Peerless assassin is in the testing - it’s in the graphs !
The coolers in the thumbnail are products we wanted to review and instead of putting them all in separate videos we did a roundup. There are other coolers also in the test results we have already reviewed that are not in the thumbnail. It’s best watching the video to see.
Și?,,,care ie cel mai bun de pe masa aia?
Există mai mulți câștigători în diferite categorii de preț. Fii liniștit se descurcă bine, iar răcitorul arctic este grozav. multumesc pentru comentariu
Without a thermalright cooler , this video ain't worthy 😁
So it’s worthy then cause there is one in the performance graphs in the video 😉
No Thermalright coolers? What conspiracy is this.
It’s all explained at the start of the video. Right I mean at the very start 😂
At the very start of the video James says why the coolers are what they are !
It’s the ‘I haven’t watched this video at all’ conspiracy.
Thermal right coolers are in the graph 🤷🏻♂️
Peerless assassin is in the charts. In the video you haven’t watched at all.
Hardware Canucks has done an in-depth air cooler review making this review a moot point.
It’s not a moot point. I was interested in two of these coolers and I found it useful. It’s not meant to be a roundup of every cooler on the market. Just 8 coolers they got.
Very rude post considering all the work James put in.
A moot point ? lol what a stupid thing to say. Doesn’t even make sense. Ok so you prefer hardware Canucks. Good for you ? I found this very useful myself as I had my eye on a few of these coolers for a new build and found the install procedure and in-depth testing very useful to make a buying decision.
First time I’ve heard a 40 minute analysis of 8 coolers classed as a ‘point’.
@@powermaster5004 As I stated………an in-depth review has already been done by Hardware Canucks involving many more air coolers. That’s what makes this review moot……..but perhaps you don’t understand the meaning.
@@theonlyredspecial I’m sure he did work hard. Never said otherwise. That doesn’t change the fact that Hardware Canucks had recently completed an in-depth review of air coolers……….and reviewed quite a few more. I never said it wasn’t hard work, but time could have been spent reviewing something else. Reinventing the wheel is kinda useless.
@@techluvin7691 well luckily enough the internet isn’t ruled by you and quite a lot of people like myself found this useful. I never find hardware Canucks cooler reviews answer a lot of my questions anyway. You seem to like little phrases like moot point and reinventing the wheel. Dont think hardware Canucks invented anything.
I keep hearing "pedo-ram-cable" on several occasions during this video. What is he saying instead???
PWM cable?
@@KitGuruTech yeah, makes much more sense, thanks :)
I know you have an accent but you should really make sure you pronounce the "L" in Fluctus more clearly.
No thermalright, this is basically a wasted lineup. I would tell anyone just go with TR air cooling anyday. Heck, even their water cooling is good
The Thermalright peerless assassin is in the testing. Check out the graphs 🤷🏻♂️
The coolers in the thumbnail are products we wanted to review and instead of putting them all in separate videos we did a roundup. There are other coolers also in the test results we have already reviewed that are not in the thumbnail. It’s best watching the video to see.
