Best cpu cooler

[Mofro1122]

I am simply looking for the cpu cooler that will keep my cpu, a Ryzen 7 2700, the coolest. It can be either an aio or air cooler and I just need it to be under $100. Aesthetics and noise level are important to me, but not nearly as much as raw performance.

I'll say the nh-d15 and dark rock pro 4 are great choises. But on a cheaper side you can also get a Artic freezer 33 esports, depending on what version you get it's between 35 and 50 bucks

It's hands down the NH-D15. That thing is monstrous, I don't think anyone makes a bigger tower cooler.

[SolarNova]

NH-D15 ..its "The King of the air coolers" for a reason

 

The only way to beat it is to get a 280mm AIO (which barely does better)

or a 360mm AIO.

 

But they be more expensive.

I am simply looking for the (aio) cpu cooler that will keep my cpu, a Ryzen 7 2700, the coolest. The only catch is it has to be 120mm and less than $100. Aesthetics and noise level are important to me, but not nearly as much as raw performance. RGB would be a welcoming feature.

Might have to buy the AM4 brackett for either separately, didn't double check.

How does the Corsair H80i V2 look to you?

[Mofro1122]

I am looking for an aio, preferably rgb but I can do without, and I don’t know which to buy. I was looking at CoolerMasters LC120E and ML120L but I dont see much difference.

It looks pretty good but a tad expensive

120mm AIO's aren't really worth it. I used to have an H80i v2 and I switched back to my H212 EVO. The H80i performed just a little better, was way louder and made my case so crammed that the GPU temps rose by 5C. Get some decent modern air cooler like an Arctic Freezer 33 esports or A Dark rock 4. 

[Jurrunio]

the fan and CPU cooling block are both different...

 

but really, cheap AIO like these are failures as far as performance's concerned.

[Mofro1122]

The problem is that huge air coolers like the Noctua nh-15 are simply too ugly to be put in a case with a glass panel and it is also nearly $100

[Mofro1122]

The LC120E is $35 on Amazon, so how do you think this will compare to a 212 evo.

if your going to go with a AIO , get a 280mm rad or 360mm rad one. 240 and below are not worth it.

So which air cooler is the best that’s under $80 and is not completely ugly

I am simply looking for the cpu cooler that will keep my cpu, a Ryzen 7 2700, the coolest. It can be either an aio or air cooler and I just need it to be under $80. Aesthetics need to be presentable through a side panel. So no Noctua nh-15. It doesn’t need to be rgb or anything black is fine

dark rock pro

You will be happy with this cooler being all black and having a 200w tdp  74.90 USD

[SupaKomputa]

The wraith cooler that your cpu got is already good. With after market heatsink it would only be better like 3-5c at best!

Such a waste of money i think, for $80 you can have something else.
