Top-rated products in the CPU water coolers category
Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Corsair H100i RGB Platinum
The Corsair Hydro Series H100i RGB Platinum is a compact RGB CPU cooler known for its quiet cooling performance. It features an RGB LED pump head and RGB LED fans in a unique design. Two 120mm ML Pro RGB series fans provide strong airflow and static pressure with a wide RPM range from 400 to 2400 RPM. With the powerful Corsair iCUE software, users can customize the RGB lighting, monitor temperatures, and precisely adjust fan speeds or completely stop the fans using the H100i's Zero-RPM cooling profile. Equipped with 24 individual RGB LEDs, the H100i RGB Platinum offers a variety of RGB lighting options.
2. Arctic Liquid Freezer II - 360
The Liquid Freezer II exceeds all expectations and sets new standards in the field of compact water cooling. This all-in-one cooling solution meets the cooling needs of even the most powerful processors from Intel and AMD. It effortlessly handles over 200 W of heat dissipation, ensuring that your CPU remains cool even during extreme overclocking. The Liquid Freezer II outperforms competing products from leading cooler manufacturers in both performance and noise levels.
In developing the water pump, Arctic has invested significant effort, unlike many competitors. The result is greatly reduced humming and higher efficiency. Like the other components, the pump is PWM-controlled, leading to a noticeably lower noise level under low and typical loads. Additionally, the power consumption is only 0.9 W at idle, 2.5 W under normal load, and a maximum of 5.3 W under full load for the entire AiO.
Unlike most other all-in-one liquid cooling manufacturers, Arctic uses 38 mm thick radiators with high fin density. This allows for a larger volume of water to be circulated and significantly increases the cooling surface area. Water has a much higher heat capacity than aluminum or copper, resulting in a slower and up to 5 °C lower temperature rise in the time-limited turbo mode of modern CPUs.
3. be quiet! Silent Loop 2
Silent Loop 2 is the whisper-quiet all-in-one water cooling solution with immense cooling performance for demanding systems with heavily overclocked CPUs. The powerful pump with a 3-chamber design allows the Silent Loop 2 360 mm to operate both highly efficiently and silently. The second of the three chambers provides enough space for the coolant to expand and reduce turbulence before it re-enters the pump unit. This more uniform flow, combined with the 6-pole motor with three phases, ensures a quiet and smooth operation.
4. NZXT Kraken X63
Through the CAM software interface, users can fine-tune the settings to ensure optimal performance even during the most intense gaming sessions. The new Kraken X series features customizable lighting effects and the quiet efficiency of previous generations, along with a HUE 2 connection for even more RGB options. With a fresh design cover and a larger, circular LED with infinity mirror, the new Kraken X delivers an incredible RGB liquid cooling experience.
5. Corsair Hydro Series H100x
High-Density Radiator
Experience lower CPU temperatures with a 240mm high-density radiator for maximum cooling surface and performance.
Powerful PWM Cooling
Two Corsair SP series PWM fans provide powerful cooling with speeds ranging from 600 RPM to 1,700 RPM, making it easy to minimize noise or maximize airflow.
LED-Illuminated Pump Head
The white LED-illuminated pump head adds a touch of brilliance to any system.
Efficient Cold Plate and Pump
Thermally optimized cold plate and low-noise pump design for more efficient and quieter cooling.
Easy to Install
Modular, tool-free mounting bracket for quick and easy installation on all common AM4, LGA 1151, and LGA 2066 socket CPUs.
6. NZXT Octopus X62 incl. AM4
The NZXT Kraken X62 is a modern all-in-one liquid cooler that comes with several improvements compared to its direct predecessor, the X61. In addition to a new design for the fans, pump, and radiator, the X62 features higher static pressure, lower noise levels, and reinforced tubing for increased durability. The pump itself is equipped with a small infinity mirror, allowing for a variety of lighting options that can be adjusted directly from the desktop using the advanced CAM software, alongside the pump settings. NZXT's confidence in the exceptionally high quality of its products is reflected in the very long six-year manufacturer warranty for an all-in-one liquid cooler.
7. NZXT Kraken X73
Through the CAM software interface, users can fine-tune settings to ensure optimal performance even during the most intense gaming sessions. The new Kraken X series features customizable lighting effects and the quiet efficiency of previous generations, along with a HUE 2 connection for even more RGB options. With a fresh design cover and a larger, circular LED with infinity mirror, the new Kraken X delivers an incredible experience in RGB liquid cooling.
8. Corsair H115i RGB Platinum
The Corsair Hydro Series H115i RGB Platinum is a compact RGB CPU water cooler known for its quiet cooling performance, featuring an RGB LED pump head and uniquely designed RGB LED fans. Two ML Pro RGB series PWM fans provide strong airflow and static pressure with a wide RPM range from 400 to 2000 RPM. With the powerful Corsair iCUE software, users can customize the RGB lighting, monitor temperatures, and precisely adjust fan speeds or completely stop the fans using the H115i's Zero-RPM cooling profile. Equipped with 24 individual RGB LEDs, the H115i RGB Platinum offers a wealth of RGB lighting options.
9. ASUS ROG RYUJIN 360
With Noctua IndustrialPPC fans for cooler and quieter operation, as well as an integrated fan in the pump housing for additional cooling of the VRM and M.2, ROG Ryujin ensures that your system always runs optimally. Together with Aura Sync support for harmonizing RGB lighting effects.
10. Arctic Liquid Freezer III - 360 A-RGB (Black)
The Liquid Freezer III is ready to use immediately thanks to its pre-installed cooler fans in a push configuration. The fan cables are integrated into the tubing sheath, so only one cable needs to be connected to the motherboard.
