It’s ideal for overclockers or anyone wanting top cooling without spending much—priced at $6.99 for 2g. It performs slightly better than the older X25 and beats top brands in temperature tests.

Silent Loop 3 420 is one heck of a cooling product. With its classy look, premium cooling performance, and better noise output it is capable of giving a run to other 420mm coolers for their money.

With a 250W TDP, it handles heavy workloads well and keeps an Intel Core i7-13700K from throttling, though temperatures can reach 96°C. Its sleek design, quiet operation, and solid cooling performance make it a great option for gamers and everyday users looking for reliable cooling without breaking the bank.

The be quiet! Pure Rock 3 Black is a budget-friendly air cooler that delivers solid performance for mid-range CPUs like Intel’s Core i5 and AMD’s Ryzen 5/7.
