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 😘
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.
I've got an ancient NH-U12A still going strong even on the system I built last year with a 7800X3D. The only thing I've done is get the AM5 offset bracket. It's crazy how long the Noctua fans last.
I used the NH D-15 for a couple of years, very impressive air cooler. On my last upgrade I swapped it for an Arctic Liquid Freezer ii, mostly because I was getting some high ish temps on the mobo, but also for slightly quieter operation. I'm happy with the AIO but they don't have the same longevity as a Noctua air cooler, a true fit and forget product.
Noctua all the way, rock solid build quality, they just go forever, and most importantly, a pleasant noise profile. DB level alone only tells half the story.
Good idea james, I like it - get 8 coolers - some well known brands - some not so well known and see if they are any good - while including some results from well known brands in the graphs - was interesting and refreshing seeing stuff id never seen before to be perfectly honest. I loved the install timestamps - im always interested in how the install method is - ive bought some coolers in the past which were an absolute nightmare to install properly.
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
I'm pretty impressed with the Arctic 36. I bought it just to try it out and stuck it on my new 9800X3D build. Running -20 +200 I'm sitting at a consistent 5.4ghz and around 65c while playing a CPU heavy game like Star Citizen. It'll get toasty in Cinebench, but still keep a 5.3ghz clock and not throttle. Very impressed with that little guy. $25USD.
I had to look at old invoices to see the last time I bought a Hyper 212 for a customer, 15 years ago! They're really milking that product name recognition a bit beyond at this point.
Everyone knows Thermalright Phantom Spirit is king. Bin all these other coolers with higher price tags tacked on just because of the brand name thats printed on them
I can imagine Bequiet charging an arm and a leg to replace those custom fans! No thankyou Bequiet or for that matter any other of the custom fan designs.
i own the dark rock elite and looking at it's design , if need be you can take off the hood /fan assembly and stick two 140's on it using classic heat sink /fan clips . the custom 135's have a 140 fan's footprint . when you take off the extra "lip" you bassically got a dual tower cooler made for 140mm fans. that said be quiet fans have always been super high quality , and by the time they die , you'll already be on another computer.
Phantom spirit (or evo or SE) peerless assassin, assassin X, Assassin king, burst assassin.. so many coolers, does anyone actually know the differences for all the thermalright ones?
Great Video!!! I've been using the Dark Rock Pro 4 for a long time and was thinking about switching to an AiO because of tight spaces in my 4000D However, after seeing this video I'm thinking about switching to Dark Rock Elite instead.
You weren’t wrong about the first one that you reviewed . Can clearly see in the video that it is sagging on one side . Looks like the copper pipes are bent on that side .
19-21C Ambient? Such a variable ambient temperature can completely change the order of performance of cooling systems! All systems should be tested at the IDENTICAL ambient temperature!
That would be ideal, but the cost of a climate control chamber that can hold ambient temps with less than single degree precision are extremely expensive. Besides that two degrees is within margin of error for most testing requirements.
well with the way the ryzen 7000's work (non x3d) they would be the cpu's to test this on . these cpus are designed to push their clocks right up to the cpu thermal limit. which makes it critical that you have some powerful cooling on them.
Virtually? They're the same, except that the 4S is the revised version. Lacks the second 120mm fan, but it does the same thing since they've upgraded the 140mm central one. While being quieter at it
between the deepcool mystique and the arctic liquid freezer III which is the better aio for cpu temps and clocks? Also which one comes out on top for noise normalised cpu temps?
In such tests, it has become a habit to fill only two RAM slots and move away from the cooler border. The RAM contact needs to be shown more clearly. This is important.
not really habbit but more like main board design ... if you are runing just 2 ram modules , the vast majority of mainboards are designed to work better off slots B1 and B2 (in an array that goes A1 B1 A2 B2) the only time slots A1 and A2 should ever have ram in them is if you are running 4 ram modules. so in most common usauge that first ram slot wil be empty by design, giving cooler's more clearance.
It seems the Dark Rock Pro 5 performs the exact w/ Noctua NH-D15, but wins over when they are running at the same 40dBA. From the charts, does this mean these 2 Dark Rocks are the best air cooler right now then?
@@KitGuruTech Just saw the upcoming air coolers, can't wait to see the comparison between DeepCool Vapor Chamber, Noctua NHD15 v2 and Thermalright Preytor and Peerless Assasin 140!
Sir Burger King doesn’t manufacture cpu air coolers, especially the hyper 212. You calling it a whopper is incorrect and from this point forward - as acting general counsel for the company, cease and desist immediately or further action will be taken.
It would be better to compare all the coolers on the same cpu. That way we could compare it according to the performance and thinking on the price not in the size
Im in the market for a new cooler and im interested in tthe single tower 120mm coolers mostly because i dont plan on owning a power thirsty cpu. Really wanted to see how well the hyper 212 holds up these days vs a cooler like the freezer 36. Nothing against the other cooler but i dont think it available in my market. Atm i think im going with the freezer 36 because its quiet.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin is in the 7950X charts. So yes it is in the mix. Its just not in the thumbnail, as the main reason for doing this video is to do a roundup of 8 coolers we were sent.
How much memory can fit under the Dark Rock Elite fan when the fan is completely down. And the factory data is not relevant, because the processor measures the distance from the top of the chip. And that's still +2-3mm compared to the factory data...
Here's a link to our latest AIO review video: th-cam.com/video/Trn8zu4ynfg/w-d-xo.html and this is the AIO roundup video we did in November 2023: th-cam.com/video/Dd01_-QlXPA/w-d-xo.html

Or just get AIO water cooling :) does not take up anything, and keeps the cpu cooler. you get rid of a huge heavy block that is not nice. mine with AIO never gets above 45 degrees at full load it is usually around 40 degrees when I play
not every one trust water/liquid cooling most electronics tend to do poorly if they ever meet said liquid in a face to face hand shake. not every one has 200+ dollars on their budget to get one of the top tier liquid coolers. not every one has room in their case for deccent enough liquid cooling. there are a lot more possible points of failure with an liquid cooling solution. rather it's a DIY one or a AiO 1. radiator could leak 2. seals on any of the tubing could leak (with AiO's there are usually 4 points it could leak at , and many many more possible points on a DIY) 3. pump could die 4. pump could leak 5. mix of bad matieral and chemicals used in WC can cause corrosion on any metal part of the system where liquid has to cycle , causing blockages. 6. DIY's require regular and in depth maintenance to clean while air coolers only require being blown out on occasion. 7. it's like adding plumbing problems on top of PC maintenance problems making it just more of a head ache to deal with. there are still a lot of reasons consumers would want to stick with air cooling , the whole electricity and water not being freinds being the least of those reasons.
As always the conclusion is if you want an air cooler just get a cheap Thermalright PA or PS and you are good to go. Expensive air coolers are a big waste of money.
I can't take a review like this seriously if they don't include thermalright cpu coolers... They even include the Endorfy Fera 5 that i never heard of... like wtf? Maybe afraid of the complete destruction of some sponsored high end/expensive coolers?
The coolers in the thumbnail are products we wanted to review and instead of putting them all in separate videos we did a roundup. There are other coolers also in the test results we have already reviewed that are not in the thumbnail. It’s best watching the video to see.
Nope - as VP of channel sales, we as a company decided to part ways with it and cancel production for being a underperforming product. Have a great day!
the distributor in my country (indonesia) sells noctua air coolers and fans but they don't sell the offset module for the AMD cpu so i think i will avoid noctua because of that.
1:25 another channel with missed oportunity: There is so many 7800X3D owners, that are even more interested to cool down their CPUs properly, but no, most of the bigger channels are doing only 7950X & 7600X ( which many ppl dont care to spend too much on cooling it, so they put just what they found on it eitherway... ) ... While the 7800X3D is the perfect candidate for some "mid to good" aircooling solution with its 120W TDP and about 145 (?) Watt max power output.
the AMD setup is pretty good for testing. ive seen some people complain about lack of 7800X3D but its hard to keep it consistent for thermal testing as you cant manually overclock or directly adjust CPU voltage.
Shame the majority of coolers only allow mounting that allows air flow from front to back, not from down to up. I feel GPUs would benefit from the heat being drawn away from them and pushed out the top of the case.
@@hanswurst2220 no, I meant normal tower coolers that can mount 90 degrees to how most people have them blowing towards the rear of the case, turned so they blow up towards the top of the case.
the dark rock elite is not that expensive ... it's juggled beween $90 USD and $110 USD alll summer. compare that to 200+ dollar AiO and noctua's $150-$160 air coolers . the elite is the way to go if you are running any thing hotter than a 7900 (ie the 7900x and the 7950x ) and you don't trust liquid cooling. at those cpu's price points what's an extra $100 bucks ?
We have noticed that a lot of other reviews have tested on Intel systems which might explain why you see different results. We have found during our extensive AIO cooler testing that you can see very different behaviour of coolers on AMD CPUs compared to Intel. This is why we test AIOs on both platforms but unfortunately time constraints made it impossible for us to test both platforms in this video, so we can't say for certain if the coolers in this video would or would not behave the same on an Intel system.
@@KitGuruTech I'm aware of the platform differences, the results are just, widely different. For example in the Hardware Canucks review of the Corsair A115 they found it to be fairly quiet at max fan speed, and they also found that the Be quite coolers underperform on AM5. Yet in your videos the Corsair A115 is loud as heck, and the Be quiet coolers are top performers. In his video the DeepCool/Thermalright coolers perform best on AMD, and be quiet performs better on Intel.
I am no fan (no pun intended) of aio coolers. However I currently have a 360 that I hate as it draws more power than needed considering my 7900gre and 5800x3d do not draw enough to overheat. I think I will bin my Artic and go back to an assassin. Thermalright have done great things with cheap air coolers while their aio coolers are great and affordable but fucking overkill for the sake of aesthetics
Există mai mulți câștigători în diferite categorii de preț. Fii liniștit se descurcă bine, iar răcitorul arctic este grozav. multumesc pentru comentariu
If you should to choose only one.... Which es the best??? Nothing about prices... Only which is the best... And second and third places... Because i know noctua is one of the best... But for me its super ugly, no rgb and very heavy
I'm also wondering because I was about to use one on a 7800x3D. Those results are all over the place and I have no idea what kind of performance I should expect
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 😘

gamersnexus fans - its funny, its like steve has a cult following at times. At least its not more inane comments on an AIO being 'the right way up'!
Thanks for reviewing and happy that our two Dark Rocks were able to impress!

Been using a Noctua NH-D14 for about 12 years. Original fans still working. The best air cooler i've ever owned.
I keep wanting to see what all the fuss is about with the newer Thermalright coolers, but I can't bear the thought of taking out the Noctua.
I've got an ancient NH-U12A still going strong even on the system I built last year with a 7800X3D. The only thing I've done is get the AM5 offset bracket. It's crazy how long the Noctua fans last.
Thermalright now beats it comfortably in price to performance ratio, ease of install and size, but probably not in a longevity battle.
I used the NH D-15 for a couple of years, very impressive air cooler.

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.
These are not all coolers together 😂, not even close, there are plenty better coolers out there
An AC freezer 36 dual fan user here: great air cooler for low budget build.
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.
Great suggestion!
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 !
amazing work James as always - some great buying advice in this! havent watched it all yet. its a movie mate !

I love air cooler reviews, I don’t know why but they always interest me ❤
Me too !
wow thats a lot of hot air. see what I did there? - lol. I like that arctic cooler, hard to beat that price.
i agree, the bequiet cooler is one of the best ive had. love it. quiet too
I have always been a big fan of arctic coolers - I havent use the one you tested, but that some product for the money.
Amazing video James. I appreciated the details on the install procedure for each of them
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
Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it
Like the look of that Bequiet. It’s massive though. Takes up some space.
The Corsair A115 is also very large and it sits very close to the GPU backplate with a GPU installed in the first PCIe slot.
that bequiet! is brilliant, arctic one is good too !
the bequiet cooler is a bit of a monster. very impressive results all round.
Thanks for the nice review now i have to make it 2 choices between Deepcool AK500 or Arctic Freezer 36, any suggestion guys?
Great to see some
Loving for air coolers. Still prefer them over AIO !
same here. i prefer air coolers. i bought that AC freezer 36 dual fan a few months ago and I am very satisfied: 20€ great price/performance ratio
Love air coolers. Don't think i'll ever go aio
Much looking forward to the next edition with the TR Phantom Spirit 120SE/EVO, the TR Royal Pretor 130 and the Noctua NH D-15 G2.
Hey James nicely done man. Great cross section of coolers and some really good results too.
Thanks! 🙂
nice to get all this data. very useful information. must have taken weeks
Everyone knows Thermalright Phantom Spirit is king. Bin all these other coolers with higher price tags tacked on just because of the brand name thats printed on them
Too bad it doesn't exist in white. I would've gone with it if it was
Please test the noise @the same fixed fan speed for all Coolers this would make way more sense
I can imagine Bequiet charging an arm and a leg to replace those custom fans! No thankyou Bequiet or for that matter any other of the custom fan designs.
isnt it simple, but really ive decided to just focus on what i have/am doing atm
i own the dark rock elite and looking at it's design , if need be you can take off the hood /fan assembly and stick two 140's on it using classic heat sink /fan clips . the custom 135's have a 140 fan's footprint . when you take off the extra "lip" you bassically got a dual tower cooler made for 140mm fans.
that said be quiet fans have always been super high quality , and by the time they die , you'll already be on another computer.
keep the main cooler and replace the fans with quiter fans maybe good idea for high noise coolers ?
Phantom spirit (or evo or SE) peerless assassin, assassin X, Assassin king, burst assassin.. so many coolers, does anyone actually know the differences for all the thermalright ones?
Why show the deepcool 4s but show stats for ak500?
have a be-quiet now, staying with them. very reliable.
Yes very useful information. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your hard work.

you guys do the best reviews!
Thanks!
You weren’t wrong about the first one that you reviewed . Can clearly see in the video that it is sagging on one side . Looks like the copper pipes are bent on that side .
Which is better in terms of temperature? I'm between the Corsair A115 or the MasterAir MA824 stealth? It's for an i7 14700k
Corsair A115 😉
I wonder if contact frame for AM5 makes Freezer 36 performance any better on AM5. It cools 7600X just fine but it's not present on 7950X slides?
19-21C Ambient? Such a variable ambient temperature can completely change the order of performance of cooling systems! All systems should be tested at the IDENTICAL ambient temperature!
That would be ideal, but the cost of a climate control chamber that can hold ambient temps with less than single degree precision are extremely expensive. Besides that two degrees is within margin of error for most testing requirements.
thumbs up from me for using the best AMD processors ! sick of these always being installed on intel.

No Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 in the mix?
Yeah no thermalright... they don't want the high end/expensive cooler to look bad...
they have it in the results part of the video
Hey guys might be a good idea to watch the video before commenting. Hilarious.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin is in the 7950X charts. So yes it is in the mix. Its just not in the thumbnail, as the main reason for doing this video is to do a roundup of 8 coolers we were sent.
i wonder if RGB fans make a difference to non RGB ones, like the Freezer 36 black and RGB
by testing noise quiet/performance should be tested separtely on be quiet coolers
Arctic FTW 🥶
How much memory can fit under the Dark Rock Elite fan when the fan is completely down. And the factory data is not relevant, because the processor measures the distance from the top of the chip. And that's still +2-3mm compared to the factory data...

There is so many 7800X3D owners, that are even more interested to cool down their CPUs properly, but no, most of the bigger channels are doing only 7950X & 7600X ( which many ppl dont care to spend too much on cooling it, so they put just what they found on it eitherway... ) ... While the 7800X3D is the perfect candidate for some "mid to good" aircooling solution with its 120W TDP and about 145 (?) Watt max power output.
The problem with the 7800X3D is keeping consistency for thermal testing accurately, since you cant manually overclock or directly adjust CPU voltage.
@@KitGuruTech Yeah, its a good point james - the 7800X3D is a great CPU but its not ideal for these reviews at all due to the way its locked .
@@amdforlife5591 get 7950x3d and you'll not need to oc it
Good thing you didn't use a 14900KS to test these air coolers 😉
the AMD setup is pretty good for testing. ive seen some people complain about lack of 7800X3D but its hard to keep it consistent for thermal testing as you cant manually overclock or directly adjust CPU voltage.
By 2035 we "might" get the new Noctua NH-DH15 successor.
/s
Yeah I hope so. They are slow
Shame the majority of coolers only allow mounting that allows air flow from front to back, not from down to up. I feel GPUs would benefit from the heat being drawn away from them and pushed out the top of the case.
if you mean top blow coolers:
the difference is small, at least smaller than one would think
@@hanswurst2220 no, I meant normal tower coolers that can mount 90 degrees to how most people have them blowing towards the rear of the case, turned so they blow up towards the top of the case.
@@johnt.848Wouldn't that mean blasting the hot air of your GPU into your CPU?
@@Elvyne No as the airflow is then assisted by the CPU cooler to exit the top of the case, it wouldn't linger to heat the region above it.
the dark rock elite is not that expensive ... it's juggled beween $90 USD and $110 USD alll summer. compare that to 200+ dollar AiO and noctua's $150-$160 air coolers . the elite is the way to go if you are running any thing hotter than a 7900 (ie the 7900x and the 7950x ) and you don't trust liquid cooling. at those cpu's price points what's an extra $100 bucks ?
How come whenever I watch a video of cooler reviews the results are widely different?
We have noticed that a lot of other reviews have tested on Intel systems which might explain why you see different results.
We have found during our extensive AIO cooler testing that you can see very different behaviour of coolers on AMD CPUs compared to Intel. This is why we test AIOs on both platforms but unfortunately time constraints made it impossible for us to test both platforms in this video, so we can't say for certain if the coolers in this video would or would not behave the same on an Intel system.
@@KitGuruTech
I'm aware of the platform differences, the results are just, widely different. For example in the Hardware Canucks review of the Corsair A115 they found it to be fairly quiet at max fan speed, and they also found that the Be quite coolers underperform on AM5. Yet in your videos the Corsair A115 is loud as heck, and the Be quiet coolers are top performers.
In his video the DeepCool/Thermalright coolers perform best on AMD, and be quiet performs better on Intel.
No Thermalright coolers? What conspiracy is this.
It’s all explained at the start of the video. Right I mean at the very start 😂
At the very start of the video James says why the coolers are what they are !
It’s the ‘I haven’t watched this video at all’ conspiracy.
Thermal right coolers are in the graph 🤷🏻♂️
Peerless assassin is in the charts. In the video you haven’t watched at all.
I am no fan (no pun intended) of aio coolers. However I currently have a 360 that I hate as it draws more power than needed considering my 7900gre and 5800x3d do not draw enough to overheat. I think I will bin my Artic and go back to an assassin. Thermalright have done great things with cheap air coolers while their aio coolers are great and affordable but fucking overkill for the sake of aesthetics
That Artic cooler is ow £47 on amazon
You have to click on the amazon listing where it says "other sellers on Amazon" and its still available for £23.09.
Și?,,,care ie cel mai bun de pe masa aia?
Există mai mulți câștigători în diferite categorii de preț. Fii liniștit se descurcă bine, iar răcitorul arctic este grozav. multumesc pentru comentariu
If you should to choose only one.... Which es the best??? Nothing about prices... Only which is the best... And second and third places... Because i know noctua is one of the best... But for me its super ugly, no rgb and very heavy
anyone using aircoolers on new chips which are power hungry and hot??
I don't run Intel, so I don't know what "hot" is. Baby 7800x3d rocking his 60s in 4k gaming! That is, with an Assassin 4S
So, why did Hardware Canucks hate these be Quiet! aircoolers again?
I'm also wondering because I was about to use one on a 7800x3D. Those results are all over the place and I have no idea what kind of performance I should expect
deep is better than cooler master to ryzen 7000
to me artic liquid freezer iii 360 black is not the same like your at performance,why? i get 94c in load,you guys lie.about 66c.lmao
