What to check before buying

Socket and heat output

Confirm that the cooler includes mounting hardware for the CPU socket and is suitable for the processor's real sustained power.

Physical clearance

For air cooling, check cooler height and RAM clearance. For liquid cooling, confirm radiator size, thickness, tube reach and supported mounting positions.

Noise and maintenance

A larger efficient cooler can run its fans more slowly. Air coolers are mechanically simple, while AIO liquid coolers add a pump and radiator.
