Thank you for being so enthusiastic about pc cooling and providing these test results to the community

[vintagex]

I love how passionate this guy is about air coolers. Every video is a banger.

I couldn't find that many comparisons between the Frost Spirit, Frost Commander, or even the Frost Tower so this is very useful. This would've been better for me two weeks ago as I ended up with the Frost Commander but fantastic job.

The quality and depth of your review is really impressive. It must have taken a tremendous effort doing all that testing, validation and analysis to put together a video that is so well thought out and can somehow strike the perfect balance and be extensive yet concise at the same time. Thank you for the hard work and a great review.

Noctua NH-D15 was relased April 8th 2014. Nine years later its still fighting for 2nd best spot in performance.
It costs a lot, but Noctua has committed to essentially lifetime support with free adapters and free posting, for newer CPU mounts

Damn! I thought I had locked my air cooler for my new build this summer. Now I have to hunt down a Thermalright Frost Spirit. You and Gamers Nexus are the top 2 reviewers for coolers and fans. They're soo good.

And I can't believe Noctua and Be Quiet are draging their feet with updates for their flagship cooles leaving the power vacuum up for grabs for everyone else. I'm loving the competition though.

Thank you SO much for this video!! This is EXACTLY the stuff us consumers need when looking for pc components! I bought a frost spirit, and could not possibly be more excited to run it in my system!

[kennymorelandiii]

By far my favorite videos on this channel. This guy does great work in being informative and explaining it well to someone like me that isnt super knowledgeable about coolers

[errr]

As a bonus, it would be useful to test all these coolers from arctic p12 or noctua a12x25 to show the efficiency of the coolers themselves under identical cooling conditions. Great job!

[networkeronetworkero-ybqx]

I like those reviews of cpu air coolers, thank you!

[johnnypopstar]

Dude these reviews are so goddamn detailed, I am loving your methodology, comparing every single aspect from temps to clocks to FPS and blending it all together. So great!

[drzoidbergmd]

I bought the Peerless Assassin on your recommendation to replace my 240mm aio after the pump failed and it is fantastic. Great value for money, quiet very cool. Looks great in white too. Thanks for the review. 👏

[rhutabaga]

I gotta see the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE in these tests, interested to see how it would do, great video!

[Daisudori]

I picked up FS140 v1 ( silver and different cover plate ) for 25 euro a while ago and its doing a grand job on my 13700K. I also bought the FC140 just a week ago, and found the same results as you. Same temps with more noise. Its returned.

I would always buy Thermalright over Deepcool since Deepcool mounting hardware is kinda soft chinasteel tm and easy to strip.

[DubHeals]

This was a phenomenal video! Going to be recommending the FS140 to a friend building a PC right now. Thanks for doing all these tests

[FreyrDev]

I'd love to see more cooler reviews, these are great! The cheaper deepcool models would be interesting; the AK500, AK400, and the plus version of the AK400 with two fans. I especially want to see how the AK500 compares to the AK620.

[malithaw]

Man mike deserves respect for reigniting interest in air cooling for so many people

[organicfreshmemes]

Wish you included the Phantom Spirit on this list, it's a direct upgrade from the Peerless Assassin.

[ChasquillaMaster]

this is the video we've all being waiting for... thanks for an awesome work

[vulcan]

I bought the Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 white RGB for my i7 14700k thanks to your review 😁
