NH D15 / NH D14 are probably the best air coolers

You should probably prioritise performance over looks, but probably the best looking one with great performance would be the Dark Rock Pro 3

they look bad as well lol. Noctua aren't the only good manufacturer that has good cpu cooling options.

They're quiet, and very well performing. They're also pretty cheap(ish). They sell the NH-D14 for around £65, and I've sorta grown to like their looks :S

Cryorig is a hidden gem. It seems like not a lot of people know about them.

They are a new company but the people that run it have decades of experience in the industry.
