We're preparing to retire our CPU cooler test bench and roll-out a set of AM5 and LGA1700 benches (to be run in tandem for the new coolers reviews!). It's an exciting time, but we wanted one last send-off for our long-time cooler bench. It's collected a lot of data for us over the years. This round-up looks at the best CPU air coolers we've tested so far and gives options in categories of best thermals, best overall, best design, and more. There are a ton more air coolers out there that we haven't yet tested, so remember to look around some more if you don't see one you like. We'll be adding those to our next test suite, too!
