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 😘

[bequietofficialDE]

Thanks for reviewing and happy that our two Dark Rocks were able to impress!

[Iloveyoutube-ohug]

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 !

[rufusmctavish]

Amazing video James. I appreciated the details on the install procedure for each of them

[lucifersheadscarf]

Amazing wee roundup there. Some coolers I’d never even heard of. That Bequiet cooler is fantastic.

[thetechdevil-jnvo]

Great video James. Lots of details and loved the installation sections. Always important for me.

Been using a Noctua NH-D14 for about 12 years. Original fans still working. The best air cooler i've ever owned.

[hothardwareforthewin-hefz]

amazing work James as always - some great buying advice in this! havent watched it all yet. its a movie mate !

[rangersmith]

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.

[dreschaffhausen]

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.

[boltsandbraces]

Good video enjoyed watching all the install methods. A lot of videos don’t show that.

[browntrousersforsafety-elbo]

Hey James nicely done man. Great cross section of coolers and some really good results too.

[iamahappybunny]

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

[cj_zak]

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

[dixonmak]

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.

[Everychillitsjustlife-czzz]

i agree, the bequiet cooler is one of the best ive had. love it. quiet too

[KitGuruTech]

sorry for all the spam - youtube is rife with it! we have removed all the comments we've seen

[devonmoreau]

I love air cooler reviews, I don’t know why but they always interest me ❤

[sortingoutthebills-dytd]

that bequiet! is brilliant, arctic one is good too !

[rufusmctavish]

I have always been a big fan of arctic coolers - I havent use the one you tested, but that some product for the money.
